홈 화면 위젯: '날짜와 달의 위상', '태양과 달', '은하수' 홈 화면 위젯 3종이 새로 추가되었습니다.
AR 속 실제 달 표면: 이제 AR의 달이 실제 달 표면을 보여 주며, 오늘 밤 달의 위상에 맞게 빛납니다.
AR 속 태양과 달 크기: AR이 태양과 달을 실제 겉보기 크기로 그려, 화면에서 얼마나 차지하는지 쉽게 판단할 수 있습니다. 찾기 쉽도록 크게 표시하는 새 스위치도 추가되었습니다.
시간 및 날짜 형식: '12시간제'와 날짜 순서 설정이 이제 나침반 제목, 공유 카드, 날짜 표시줄을 포함한 모든 곳에 적용됩니다. '태양과 달' 및 '은하수' 차트는 24시간제를 유지합니다.
단위: 이제 단위 설정이 모든 카드에 적용됩니다(이전에는 일부 카드가 따르지 않았습니다).
더 정확한 별 위치: AR과 나침반의 별은 선택한 날짜에 맞춰 고유 운동을 반영하며, 나침반 보정은 실시간 하늘을 사용합니다.
숫자 입력: 모든 숫자 입력란의 사용법이 통일되었습니다. 좌우로 드래그해 값을 조절하고, 두 번 탭해 키보드로 입력하고, ×를 탭해 지울 수 있습니다.
파노라마: 어안 렌즈와 '이미지 서클'(180°, 190°…)을 선택할 수 있습니다. 카드에 원하는 범위를 덮을 수 있는 가장 긴 초점 거리와 필요한 촬영 매수가 표시됩니다. 각 행에는 파노라마 헤드 클릭 스톱의 가장 큰 안전 배수를 기준으로 한 촬영 매수와 수평 회전각이 따로 표시됩니다.
타임랩스: 계산기가 프리셋마다 설정한 간격을 기억합니다.
조석: 선택한 조석 관측소의 데이터를 먼저 불러옵니다.
셔터 릴리즈: 블루투스나 USB로 카메라에 연결할 수 없을 때 더 명확한 메시지를 표시합니다(예: '페어링되지 않음', 'USB 응답 없음'). USB 케이블을 뽑으면 연결이 깔끔하게 해제됩니다.
새 기능: '유리 효과' — 버튼, 시트, 시간 슬라이더에 반투명 유리 질감을 더하고, 첫 페이지 카드에는 은은한 유리 테두리를 적용합니다. '모양'에서 켜고 테마에 맞게 '투명도'를 조절하세요. '유리 효과'는 기본적으로 꺼져 있으며, 저장된 설정은 그대로 유지됩니다.
'셔터 릴리즈' 개선 — 카메라 검색 및 연결 처리가 개선되었습니다. 이제 라이브 뷰를 카메라로 되돌려 카메라 자체 화면이나 뷰파인더를 사용할 수 있으며, Nikon 라이브 뷰 호환성도 향상되었습니다.
스와이프로 '설정' 닫기 — 왼쪽 가장자리에서 오른쪽으로 스와이프하면 '설정'을 닫거나 설정 하위 페이지에서 돌아갈 수 있습니다.
'캘린더 및 이벤트' 페이지 개선 — 더 명확해진 이벤트 아이콘과 캘린더 범례, 색으로 구분된 태양·달 행 덕분에 다가오는 이벤트를 더 쉽게 확인할 수 있습니다. 이제 일광 절약 시간이 바뀌어도 캘린더 날짜가 정확하게 유지됩니다.
새 기능: 'Exif 도구' — 사진을 열면 카메라, 렌즈, 노출, 촬영 세부 정보와 촬영 위치를 확인하고, 해당 위치를 지도 앱에서 볼 수 있습니다. '도구' 페이지에서 찾을 수 있습니다.
9개 언어 추가 — 이제 PlanIt Live를 아랍어, 체코어, 그리스어, 헝가리어, 노르웨이어(보크몰), 폴란드어, 슬로바키아어, 스웨덴어, 태국어로 사용할 수 있습니다.
위치 권한 존중 — 위치 접근을 거부하면 PlanIt Live가 더 이상 스스로 다시 요청하지 않습니다. 위치 라벨을 탭해 접근을 허용할 때까지 샘플 위치로 베이징을 표시합니다.
Google Play 업데이트를 깔끔하게 완료 — Google Play에서 업데이트 다운로드가 끝나면 '다시 시작' 안내가 표시되어 설치를 완료합니다.
더 빠르고 정확한 위치 — Google Play 서비스를 사용할 수 있으면 Google의 통합 위치 정보(fused location)를 사용하고, 그 외 기기에서는 시스템 위치 정보를 사용합니다.
첫 페이지의 달 가장자리 — 달 원반 가장자리에 얇은 고리가 보일 수 있던 문제를 해결했습니다.
Timelapse: a dropped frame no longer ends the run — If the camera fails to take one frame during interval shooting, the run now carries on and the end-of-run report counts the miss, instead of the whole timelapse stopping there.
Bluetooth cameras: clear guidance when pairing is lost — When a camera has dropped its Bluetooth bond, the page now tells you so and explains how to re-pair, instead of failing without a word.
The front-page Moon in its real orientation — The Moon drawn on the front page now shows its surface the way it actually appears in your sky, matching the 3D Compass and AR.
Astro Calendar: the date stays in view — In the Day event list, the date label now stays pinned at the top while you scroll.
Location prefers GPS — When both are available, the app now favors the GPS fix over the less accurate network fix, so times and directions are computed from where you actually stand.
Improved stability — The AR controls now stay clear of the time slider, and several camera-communication guards stop rare errors from ending a session.
Shutter Release: control several cameras at once — The camera page can now hold more than one connected camera: switch between bodies with each one keeping its own settings, or fire them all together with one tap — for a two-rig setup shooting the same scene wide and long.
Timelapse report — When an interval run finishes, a report now sums it up: frames taken versus planned, elapsed time, interval and hold, start and end times to the second, and whether the run completed or was cut short — so you know before packing up whether the timelapse is complete.
Moonrise and moonset corrected — Moon times now come from the same solver the Sun uses and follow the top-of-disk convention every almanac uses. The calendar's Moon view lists each event on the day it actually happens — a late moonset no longer slides onto the next day's row — and pairs each moonset with its rise, including across polar spells.
Improved stability — Fixed a crash when a place-name lookup finished after you had left the page, a crash when mountain-peak data was missing (it now ships with the app), quieter handling of a denied location permission, and several camera-connection fixes: a double-tapped Add camera no longer starts two connections, and an error right after a capture no longer ends the session.
New: Shutter Release — control your camera from the app — Plug your camera in over USB and shoot from the new Shutter Release page in the menu: live view with tap to focus, shutter / aperture / ISO wheels, a manual-focus wheel, video recording, and interval shooting for timelapses. Bluetooth connections offer shutter control only, and Wi-Fi support is coming in a future update. Sony, Nikon, and Canon bodies are supported; Fujifilm, Panasonic, and Olympus/OM System cameras are likely compatible but not yet tested — the full model list is on the page.
Camera reports — If a camera misbehaves, tap the report button in the upper-left corner of the camera preview to send us a diagnostic log. That is how support improves for bodies we cannot test ourselves.
Panorama: separate horizontal and vertical click-stops — The Panorama tool now lets Horizontal and Vertical rotation use different click-stop increments — for example, your panorama head's azimuth detent for Horizontal while leaving Vertical free — with each axis's steps rounded to its own increment so every row still closes the full circle.
Polar Alignment: more accurate and easier to read — Guide-star positions now account for precession, removing an offset of up to about 0.5°, and the single-star routine's altitude guidance now corrects in the right direction when the mount's reading is off. The clock position switches between decimal and hour:minute formats with a tap and ticks along by the minute, and planets that are washed out in daylight are no longer offered as targets.
Crescent visibility on the Astro Calendar — Around new Moon, the calendar's day detail now includes a Yallop crescent-visibility assessment: whether to look after sunset or before sunrise, the best observing time, and how visible the thin crescent should be — from easily visible with the naked eye to needing optical aid.
AR sky now follows you as you walk — In AR, the sky and everything drawn on it — the Milky Way, stars, the Sun and Moon, their tracks, the direction grid and every overlay — now stays centred on you as you move. Previously it was pinned to the spot where AR started, so walking far enough let you drift off-centre and eventually step outside the sky altogether.
Fixed the Moon's shape during a lunar eclipse — Earth's shadow now falls across the Moon from the direction it really does in the sky, so the eclipsed disk keeps the correct limb bright and the shadow swings around the disk as the eclipse progresses. Previously the shadow was always drawn from the left, which could put the bite on the wrong side.
Wind speed follows your unit system — Switching between US and metric units now carries wind speed along with it (mph ↔ km/h), the way every other unit already does. m/s and knots stay as you set them.
Improved stability — Fixed a crash on some Android 14 devices when reading the location's altitude, several crashes that could happen when a location fix or region lookup finished after you had already left the page, a crash when dismissing the update dialog, and two AR-related crashes on iOS.
New Sun views: H-alpha — The Live Sun card adds two ground-based hydrogen-alpha (H-alpha) views from the NSO/GONG network, right after Sunspots — a grayscale chromosphere view and an orange-tinted version — showing filaments, prominences, and flares.
Fixed Moon surface orientation — The Moon's surface detail now stays correctly oriented in every phase, across the front page, 3D Compass, and AR. Previously, waning moons could show the craters and maria rotated about half a turn even though the lit phase and terminator were correct.
Improved stability — Fixed several crashes involving location permissions, sensors, and app resume.
Layout fix — Front-page content now stays clear of the system navigation bar.
Redesigned menu — Refreshed the menu with a cleaner, card-based layout — quick-launch cards for the 3D Compass and AR, plus grouped Schedule and General shortcuts and a settings button in the header.
Jump to any card from the top of the page — Each page now shows shortcut buttons across the top, one for each card, so you can jump straight to the card you want instead of scrolling.
More calendar views — The calendar now switches between Events, Moon, Night, and Aurora views, each with its own per-day indicator and day detail.
Faster sky-event navigation — Added previous and next controls to the time bar, so you can jump directly between sky events instead of dragging through the day.
Calendar access from the time bar — Added a calendar button on the time bar to open the Astro Calendar for the selected day.
Fixed Moon track display — Fixed an issue where the Moon marker could appear off the Moon track.
New free space-weather and aurora cards — Live Sun, History Flare, Solar Wind, Short-Term Kp Forecast, Long-Term Kp (27 Days), Storm Probabilities, Dst Index, NOAA Scales, SWPC Alerts, Solar Wind Forecast, SWPC Model Animation, HUXt Forecast, and Aurora Tonight.
User Interface — Fully supports multiple pages and customizing the order of cards.
AR and Compass — Added rainbow, moonbow, terrain-outline, and light-pollution overlays to help plan shots directly in the live view. You can also aim at a celestial object and tap Calibrate to quickly finish alignment.
Astro Calendar — Added a new way to check upcoming sky events from the menu or by tapping the date in the title.
More planning cards — Added Skyglow Dome for light-pollution planning, Satellite Position and Satellite Pass for satellite tracking, plus Tide Model and Tide Station for seascape planning.
Capture and share from AR (Beta) — Take a photo or record a video straight from the AR camera view. Photos are saved with an info strip beneath the image showing the place, coordinates, aim direction and altitude, plus Sun, Moon, Milky Way Center, lens and time details, so you can remember exactly where and when to shoot. This feature is still in beta and being refined.
External lens setup for AR — Added per-lens external lens setup for teleconverters and ultra-wide adapters, including effective focal length, multiplier, mirror preview, anamorphic desqueeze, and fisheye projection options.
Improved focal-length wheel — The AR focal-length wheel now works better with external lens settings and extends the available range based on the longest effective focal length.
User interface redesign — Refined all screens, with a new font and multiple color themes, for a more consistent visual style.
Removed the five-day limitation — You can now browse any date. Tap the date in the header to open a date picker and jump straight to any day.
Now on HarmonyOS — PlanItLive now runs natively on HarmonyOS NEXT devices.
Real Milky Way in the sky — The Milky Way is rendered as an actual photographic image across the sky dome, correctly positioned for your location, date, and time (replacing the old dot markers), with an optional H-alpha view that emphasizes the nebula regions.
Plan your shot by focal length — A framing overlay shows how the sky composes at different focal lengths in the AR camera view, with smarter detection of your ultra-wide, wide, and telephoto lenses.
Better AR accuracy — Overhauled sky alignment, with a perspective-correct overlay for wide-angle lenses and on-screen direction guides (elevation rings, azimuth meridians, and cardinal labels).
Light pollution & sky quality — Sky brightness (Bortle scale) from the Light Pollution Map, with offline caching and the updated 2025 data layer.
More languages & calendars — Extensive localization updates plus Chinese lunar calendar support.
