Echo 1.2 brings complete compatibility for iOS 27 and a massive rebuild of OpenWebRX support. If you use OpenWebRX receivers, you'll notice a much smoother, faster experience. OPENWEBRX • Dramatically improved loading speeds. Receivers now open almost instantly thanks to smarter interface caching. • Fixed an issue preventing receivers from loading correctly on iOS 27. • Map, chat, help, and status links within the receiver interface are now fully functional across all server types. • Added a dedicated back control to easily return to the radio from secondary pages. • Added a new MENU control in the player header to toggle the receiver's native top bar, giving you more screen space when you want it. • Fixed an issue where some servers would incorrectly switch tuning modes during connection. OTHER RECEIVERS • KiwiSDR: Resolved an issue that could cause the receiver to continuously reload. • WebSDR: Fixed precision tuning for fractional kHz frequencies, ensuring SSB and CW signals come in crystal clear. AUDIO • Audio reliably resumes after interruptions like phone calls or Siri. • Updated the core audio engine for full iOS 27 compatibility. EVERYTHING ELSE • Fixed an alert on some stations that could not be dismissed. • Notes on saved servers now reliably persist between app sessions. • Updated the offline shortwave frequency database for the A26 season. • Refreshed the hot list. • Streamlined the interface by removing legacy SNR sorting and badges. • Visual refinements and UI cleanups throughout for iOS 27.

Improvements • Fixed KiwiSDR server fetching. (KiwiSDR 2 servers will remain unlabeled pending a future update, and previously saved Kiwi servers may need to be re-favorited) • macOS Compatibility Guidance: Introduced a proactive guidance system for users on Apple Silicon Macs. Echo now intelligently identifies platform hardware restrictions and provides a seamless "Open in Browser" shortcut for FM-DX streams. • Updated branding of "FM-DX" to "FM-DX Webserver" across the app for better consistency where space allows. Added FM-DX community credit to Acknowledgements. • Improved frequency input support for international keyboard layouts (automatically handling localized decimal separators like commas). • Changed formatting of onboarding screen to better reflect location services reason Bug Fixes • Resolved a flashing UI issue that occurred during active connections to FM-DX Webservers. • Fixed a bug where manual tuning and saving stations would silently fail for VoiceOver users or when using certain dictation settings. • Fixed a bug where Monitor Mode would not activate when listening from Active Receiver mode • Tuning Stability: Centralized frequency handling to ensure consistent behavior across all interaction types. Accessibility & VoiceOver • SDR Interface Context: The live radio player now identifies itself to VoiceOver, providing better orientation for blind and low-vision users. • Global Database Fix: Restored access to the "Favorite" button within station search results for VoiceOver users. • Onboarding Announcements: Swiping through the setup guide now clearly announces page numbers (e.g., "Page 2 of 5"). • Scanner Audio Cues: The automatic scanner now gives a three-second warning before advancing, so you're never surprised by a station change. • Map & Sheet Navigation: Improved VoiceOver focus handling for map server details and connection error screens. • Semantic Grouping: Cleaned up labels on the Acknowledgements screen, Filter chips, and Retry buttons to remove "image noise" and provide clear descriptions. • Platform Announcements: The new macOS compatibility banner features automatic VoiceOver announcements and semantic grouping, ensuring the platform-specific guidance is immediately clear to blind and low-vision users. • Accessibility improvements will keep being added as feedback is given

What’s new in 1.1.0 VoiceOver & Accessibility Support This update adds VoiceOver support across Echo, so blind and low-vision users can tune frequencies, scan bands, and explore the global server map. • Every button, control, and station card announces meaningful context to VoiceOver  • Scanner controls (play/pause/skip/favorite) are fully labeled and navigable • Station changes, server connections, and scanner state are announced in real-time  • Reduce Transparency support: glass effects swap to solid backgrounds when enabled  • Reduce Motion support: animations are simplified when enabled in iOS settings • Decorative elements hidden from assistive technology for a cleaner navigation experience Bug Fixes & Improvements • Solar Signal Indicator Fixed: The signal conditions pill in the player header was not appearing due to a change in NOAA's solar data format. It's back and working as expected. • Monitor Mode Fix: Resolved an issue where the screen could still auto-lock while actively listening with Monitor Mode enabled. • Improved formatting of links in Onboarding and Settings screens. • Improved List Management: You can now tap-and-hold on any saved server or frequency in the Favorites and Stations tabs to delete. Also added "Clear All" options to easily wipe your recent station history when needed from Station tab.
