Apple Watch App -- QRV is now on your wrist! * Browse live band activity, solar conditions, POTA activations, and DXpeditions — all from a single dashboard optimized for watchOS. * Watch Complications: 12 new complications across 4 styles — see band activity, solar indices, POTA activator counts, and UTC time right on your watch face. The band activity complication includes trend arrows based on rolling 1-hour history. * The watch app syncs your preferences (grid square, time window, mode filter) from the iPhone app automatically, or uses GPS on the watch for your grid square. (Requires QRV Premium for the Apple Watch app and complications) * Added Spain band plan. Bienvenidos! * Added LF/MF bands to the US, Canada, Australia, Great Britain, and New Zealand band plans along with accompanying filters. * Your selected band filter now saves between sessions.

* POTA Spots: Browse live Parks on the Air activations in a dedicated view with filtering by band, mode, and callsign. Sort by recency, frequency, or callsign — your preference is saved between sessions. * Cross-referenced POTA spots are merged into the standard spot view, so you'll see activators alongside PSK Reporter and RBN activity. * Callsign lookups now show POTA activation details if the station is currently activating a park. You can also long-press a POTA spot to jump straight to a callsign lookup. * Fixed band counts not updating when changing the time filter or grid square. * Performance improvements for DXCC Reference loading and Live Spots filtering

The Mode Update! * Now incorporates RBN spots for CW and RTTY activity. * SSB Mode: A new pseudo-mode that highlights likely SSB activity by filtering for spots with strong signal reports (+15 dB and above). * Mode Filters: Quickly filter Live Spots by mode — FT8, FT4, CW, RTTY, and SSB. Your selection is saved between sessions. * The widget now respects your selected mode filter and shows it in the header. --- * Performance improvements across Live Spots — filtering, scrolling, and caching are all noticeably snappier. * Fixed an issue where Live Spots could show stale data after switching filters or time windows. * Removed the 2 hour and 6 hour filter options, as 1 hour was generally maxing out the 10K spot limit. * Various behind-the-scenes fixes for cache reliability and widget refresh timing

* Wavelog Integration: Connect your Wavelog instance to see QSO history and confirmation status right in callsign lookups. * QRZ Logbook Overhaul: Your logbook now syncs fully on first launch and incrementally after that for detailed QSO history. * Both Wavelog and QRZ logbook now support fuzzy callsign matching (e.g. KP4/W1AW, W1AW/1). * Added German band plan in Deutsch and English. * Added missing DXCC entities for Uzbekistan and Mexico (sorry). * Bug fixes for confirmation badge layout and logbook sync reliability.
