New: a Plan tab for picking the best beach day and planning the trip. • Each day of the coming week is rated from Great to Poor at the beaches you save, with the best hours to go. • Tap a day to see it hour by hour, and what holds it back. • Plan a trip of up to eight days, on any dates up to a year away. Days past the forecast show how the beach usually rates that month until the forecast reaches them. • Add places near the beach to each day, like lunch or parking, and see them on a map. Tap one for its ratings, photos and hours in Apple Maps. • Add the trip to your calendar, or share or print it. • Get a notification when a saved beach has a great day coming, or when the forecast changes a planned trip's rating. • Best Months shows when each beach is usually at its best, with the usual air and water temperatures and rainy days. • Start a beach day on your iPhone Lock Screen, with UV and a reminder to put sunscreen back on. • My Beaches, the Plan tab and your trips open with no signal, showing the last readings. The Plan tab is part of an optional paid plan. Everything that was free stays free.
