U.S. Lighthouse Guide

• Collaborate on your journal: you and the people you invite can keep one journal together, with visits, stamps and notes in step on everyone's devices. Tap More, then Settings, and look under Sync. • Export your journal as a CSV file or a printable PDF, from Settings → Journal data or the Export button in the Journal tab. • Import a journal from a CSV export or a spreadsheet you filled in yourself, and undo the whole import if it's not what you wanted. • Journal guide: step-by-step help for collaboration, export and import, under Settings → Journal data. • After each update, the app now shows you what's new. The full list is under About → What's New.

This release is built from your feedback: • Nearby: Browse now opens with the lights within reach of where you are, in distance order, each showing how far away it is. Set your own search radius. Your location never leaves your device. • See yourself on the map: a new button recenters on your location and shows a live blue dot. • Choose which app opens Directions: Apple Maps, Google Maps, or Waze — with an option to remember your pick. • Filter the map by state or region. • Four lighthouses join the app — Hog Island (VA), Buzzards Bay Entrance (MA), Wawatam (MI) and the Lilac Lighthouse Tender (NY).

-Map markers now show a lighthouse tower icon instead of a generic pin.

Tell us about a problem from inside the app — tap the new button beside the photo count on any lighthouse to suggest a correction, or use "Suggest an update" in the More menu for anything else. Both open a pre-filled email draft, or copy the report to the clipboard if you'd rather send it yourself.

• Read aloud -A speaker button on the lighthouse page reads the open tab (history, location & directions, or notes) out loud — handy hands-free or while driving. -A small animated wave on the tab shows what's being read. -Pause and resume a reading, or skip back and ahead one sentence at a time, from a mini-player bar. -Settings lets you pick the read-aloud speed (0.75x–2x) and voice from the ones installed on your device, with a Preview button to hear changes on the spot. • Coastal regions: -Browse by coastal region: new chips above the Browse state grid (All, New England, Gulf Coast, …) narrow the grid to one coastal region at a time. -The Search state picker now groups states by coastal region with a select-all checkbox per region — one tap scopes a search to an entire region. • iCloud journal sync: -Your journal — visits, favorites, stamps, ratings, and notes — now syncs automatically across your Apple devices signed into the same iCloud accoun
