What a recording is actually for — watching it run and seeing where it went — plus the customisation Readout had none of, and the defects a full-source audit turned up.

Added

  • A journey recording carries on when you leave the app. A recording that logs your position keeps running when you lock the phone or switch apps; iOS shows the blue location indicator while it does. The microphone and camera never run in the background.
  • A running recording can be watched — elapsed time, every reading live, and the route building up.
  • A recording shows its route, plotted on the phone, or on Apple Maps behind an opt-in that is off by default.
  • Themes — seven of them — and an interface size in six steps.
  • The recording limit is yours to raise beyond the two-hour, 100 MB default.

Changed

  • The release document is aimed at sharing the app rather than submitting it to the App Store.
  • The Light meter's preview says when there is nothing to show.

Fixed

  • A location permission granted inside the app started nothing.
  • The compass's haptic tick landed halfway between north and east.
  • "About the same as" was claimed however far away the comparison was.
  • The large readouts ignored Dynamic Type; the live chart copied its whole history on every redraw.
  • A second calibration taken straight after the first corrected for a figure that was never shown.

Built and tested in the Simulator. Nothing here has been verified on physical hardware; the on-device checklist in docs/RELEASE.md §3 still gates v1.0.
