RELEASE NOTES · AUGUST 2026

A Cleaner Way to Share an Airport

The Share button on an airport's detail screen used to hand off a plain block of text: airport code, name, local time, maybe a temperature if the weather had already loaded. It worked, but it looked like every other auto-generated share text on your phone. It's been redesigned from the ground up into an actual snapshot: a real card with AvClock's own look, not a paragraph.

A Real Snapshot, Not Just a Text Message

Tap Share on any airport now and AvClock renders a clean card on the spot: the airport's code and full name, its flag, local time and date with the GMT offset, and current conditions in plain language if weather's loaded, all wrapped in AvClock's own black-and-liquid-metal look. Send it over iMessage, drop it in a group chat, or save it to Photos. Whoever's on the other end sees something that actually looks like it came from a real app, not a copy-pasted status line.

Built for Anyone You Send It To

The card stays deliberately casual on purpose: local time, a plain-English weather line, and the disclaimer, nothing aviation-technical. That's true even with Premium turned on. The point of the Share button was never to hand a pilot's METAR readout to someone who just wants to know what time it is where you're landing. It's meant to be readable by literally anyone it lands in front of.

Pairs Well With Your Saved Favorites

If you already keep a running list of favorite airports in AvClock, this is where that list gets more useful outside the app too. Pin the airports you check constantly, then Share straight from any one of them when someone actually needs it: a quick "here's what it looks like where I'm headed" without typing a thing.

AvClock is reference and informational only, not for actual flight planning or navigation. Always use official sources (FAA, NOTAMs, charts, ATC) for that.
