The Atlas is now loaded automatically, which means no app updates are needed for new maps. We will be adding maps continuously to the app without releasing a new version, so stay tuned. We added reload buttons to the Nearest Wildfires and Nearest Fires feeds on the Home screen for your convenience. The feeds are also updated every hour automatically. Bug fixes.

NASA is having some issues with VIIRS at the moment, so we included MODIS fires in the Nearest Fires feed on the top of the Home screen. There are a few UI improvements for iPad devices, and we removed the GOES-17 satellite images due to stability issues.

Added the Nearest Fires list to the top of Home screen. The list has the nearest fires (hotspots) that NASA satellites have detected.
