Life Expectancy, timers and calendars, put right

The first slide of a topic's Overview has a new line under the projection. It carries your daily average for the topic to the end of your expected life and tells you how many hours that pace adds up to, or, for a wasted topic, how many hours it would give to it. The line appears once the topic has logged time and your birthday and life expectancy are set.

Publish Calendar now opens its form, Settings and History without an account. You fill in what you want to share, and when you tap Publish Calendar the app takes you to sign in or create an account, then brings you back to the form as you left it. History also shows the calendars you published from this device while you are signed out.

When a notification arrives in your account, the screen you start the app on shows a small Unread notifications note at the bottom. Open takes you to the list, and the cross puts the note away until something new comes in.

The hint under a question is now folded away behind Tap to reveal the hint, so you can sit with the question on your own before you read it.

After you pick a screen in Setup home screen, it opens first straight away and a short note confirms it. Before, the app asked for a restart, and Restart now did nothing on iPhone and simply closed the app on Android. The question before the change reads plainly too, for example Start the app on Calendars?

Results now list the newest estimate first. Your very first result becomes the default by itself, and if you delete the default, the mark passes to the newest result left, so Statistics, Calendars and Leftover follow it there.

Share now sends your estimate in years with a link to Wastime, and the dates are no longer part of the message. If sharing fails, the app tells you.

The source for a saved result is now called Calculations, with the note Saved life expectancy result, and a saved result shows its range from the lower number to the higher one. Copying your BMI says BMI copied.

Ten of the studies listed under Sources in a question's helper now point to newer research, or to research closer to what the question asks. The answers and the numbers behind them stay the same.

A milestone that starts before your date of birth is now refused, with a note saying why. One that falls after your expected life span is still saved, and the form tells you it will show on Years but not on Life.

If you erase every word of an age story and save it, the story is deleted and the age shows that it has no stories yet. Blank stories no longer count in Show Stories or appear in a published calendar.

In the Life milestones filter, Select All now means every milestone, including the ones you add later, and an empty selection shows none. A calendar you set up before keeps showing exactly what it showed.

A group name made only of spaces is refused, names are trimmed, and a name that is already taken gets a note. Syncing a color to the milestones uses the color you saved and asks you to save a new one first.

Title and author now show a counter, stop at 255 characters and refuse a value made only of spaces. When you leave a field that still needs something, a line under it says what, for example Enter a calendar title.

The screen is now called Calendar Details, copying the link says Link copied, and a copy that fails says so.

When a filter in Time Entry or Timers leaves nothing to show, the list now says Nothing matches this filter and how to see the rest. Before, it looked as if you had never logged anything. In Timers, reordering waits until the filter is off.

Apply in Split Timer now stays tappable and tells you what to fix, whether a part still has no time or runs over 12 hours.

Back and the cross now ask the same question and remind you that the time stays in Results. The note under Duration appears only when seconds were rounded up, and a split part says which run it came from.

On a device that can't keep its screen on, the stopwatch button now says so instead of doing nothing.

The Time goal and Deadline tips in a topic no longer promise that the calculator fills the field in. They say it works the number out, and you type it in.

An entry made from Starting hours no longer shows a delete button in Log time. Starting hours are removed together, from a topic's Manage tab.

The guide is called Identify the wasted topics everywhere, in its sheet and in Helper alike. Start stays off for a name made only of spaces or longer than 128 characters, and the name you save is trimmed.

Topic Manager and Life Expectancy are written the same way in their headers as in the menu, and Converter as your start screen no longer shows a title the other start screens don't have.

The question about cigarettes a day now counts only when your Tobacco use answer is Daily, and the estimate takes the smoking adjustment from one of the two answers, never both. Prefer not to say now uses the average of the countries you chose, where before it pulled the estimate far down. Changing an answer gives the same result as answering it once. A result you saved earlier keeps its numbers until you update it, so the figure at the top of it may differ from the saved one.

The Birthday field used to show January 1, 2000 without saving it, and the estimate then counted your age as if you were born in 1970. It now stays empty until you confirm a date, and the assessment waits until a birthday is set. A date today or in the future is refused on the first try.

When the starting estimate was at or below your current age, for example with a low custom value, answers worked backwards and Finish saved dates that had already passed. The calculator now says that a future estimate isn't available from these settings and offers a way to Life Expectancy settings. A saved result whose dates have passed keeps them out of sight.

Height and weight now have limits, so 1 kg at 300 cm no longer comes out as a BMI that raises your estimate. With a value out of range, the helper shows no BMI and Apply waits for a real one.

Statistics could take a different saved result than Calendars and Converter, and with Countries as the source it didn't follow a change of sex. Saving or deleting a result while Calendars was open could leave Calendars and the Life timer on old values. All of them now go by your current settings and the default result, or by the newest one when none is marked.

The country table was kept from the first time you opened Life Expectancy, so if you have used the app for a while, you may still have seen figures from before the last data update. It now always comes with the app, and estimates based on countries can shift a little. Results you saved keep their numbers.

In Save result as, a name made only of spaces keeps Save off, and spaces around a name are trimmed.

A link under Sources in a question's helper now shows a short note when the browser can't open it.

In the Countries picker, Select topics and other lists with checkboxes, ticks you leave with the cross, a swipe or back are now forgotten, and Reset clears them. Search looks only at the names you see, so typing "ma" no longer lists every country.

Leaving a new time entry, a topic's Manage tab, a milestone or the Life Expectancy questions with changes now asks You have unsaved changes. Discard? Before, those changes were dropped without a word. A swipe from the left edge no longer opens the side menu over these screens, so it can't slip past the question either, and on iPhone the swipe back is off on them too. A form you haven't touched still closes at once.

Custom range and Last 7 days in Time Entry, and the same periods in Converter History, could hide the entries of the first day in the range. They now show them.

West of Greenwich, the header in Time Entry counted one day too many, which halved your average. It now counts the days you actually logged.

Right after launch, the topic list in the filter is no longer empty, and a saved topic filter shows its ticks. The filter icon is filled only when the list is really narrowed, and the reset next to Date range goes back to All time. The same goes for the History of a topic.

Log Details now shows hours as hours and minutes, the way the note after saving does, instead of a decimal number.

Editing a topic whose deadline had passed used to stop at Deadline must be in the future. A saved deadline is now accepted, and only a newly picked date has to be ahead.

After Save in Manage, the open goal or deadline slide updates without leaving the topic. The deadline slide now says how much of the time to your deadline has passed, a start date still ahead shows when it starts, and days are counted by your own day. A few phrases read better too, such as lower than your daily goal, 1 day and 52%.

In Manage and Starting hours, a start date after the deadline is now caught, turning the deadline on no longer leaves the start date empty, and today and tomorrow are judged by your local day rather than by Greenwich.

A wasted topic remembers how you sorted its History, and sorting and Clear history come on as soon as a new topic gets its first entry. A converted topic goes to the end of its new list, both Time Entry tabs refresh after Convert, and Clear history also resets the Starting hours layout. Deleting a topic while its goal slide is open no longer brings up an error.

The ⓘ tips in Log time, Manage and Starting hours now open in the middle of the screen, so a long one fits.

A stopwatch run of 59 minutes and some seconds now becomes 01:00, and entries saved as 00:60 earlier count as the full hour in Time Entry.

Once you pause or finish a timer in the stopwatch window, the play button in the Timers list starts it again. Before, the next tap did nothing.

Continuing an entry from Results now resumes from its saved time, without the time it spent waiting there. If that topic's timer is already running, the app asks before it moves the running session to Results.

An entry saved from Results, a split part, and Complete in the stopwatch are now dated by the day the session started, including when you opened the stopwatch from Log time. You can still change the date.

Answering No to the question about a long run now tells you the timer waits in Results to be split or saved, and the stopwatch starts again from zero, so Complete can't save the same time twice. Tapping outside the question changes nothing.

A second split in the same topic now saves, and a quick double tap on Save in Edit timer time no longer creates two entries. Opening the stopwatch from Log time reached through a topic's + no longer starts a second timer for that topic. If the device clock goes back while a timer runs, the stopwatch shows zero instead of a negative time.

A message such as Min time cannot be greater than max time now shows right after Confirm and goes away after a reset. Before, it waited for the next step and stayed over fields you had already cleared.

You can no longer switch off the last feature that is still on, so Home can't end up empty. In Reorder sidebar features, apply lights up only when the order has really changed.

With a life expectancy that has part of a year, Ages and Stories end the grid in the right year. Life and Ages give the same number of days lived, the years in the Stories header match Ages before your birthday, the footprints badge matches its list, and on your birthday Ages and Years show today's cell.

Age milestones no longer list a milestone you never saved, and a deleted one doesn't come back. Milestones within a year follow your sort order, newest years come first in Life milestones, and an empty list says No life milestones. Groups in the milestone form follow the order you set in Reorder.

Reset in the Ages and Life filters now clears Groups too. The search on Calendars clears when you switch tabs, looks only at milestone names and says when nothing matches. Choosing Custom life expectancy with no value no longer saves the previous number.

Leaving the Life timer with back or a swipe no longer hides the status bar on the next screen. Zoom in Life stops at 30%, since below that the grid used to vanish, and the pulsing current day in Ages uses your Current day color. Calendars waiting in the background redraw after you apply a setting globally from another one.

The button that fills the form from your last publication turns on and off right after a publish or a delete, and no longer empties the form when there is nothing to fill it from. After Overwrite, the progress stays on screen until the overwrite is done. When sharing a calendar or refreshing History fails, you see a short note instead of nothing.

On Help us fix what breaks, the text now scrolls below the status bar instead of sliding under the clock.

Back while the terms sheet is open on first launch no longer sends the screens underneath back a step. On the wasted topics guide, back asks Are you sure? the way the arrow does. In Log time opened from a topic, and in Edit timer time, back closes an open picker or sheet first.

iPhone keeps sign-in data after an app is deleted, so a reinstall came back signed in to the old account with none of its data on the phone. The first launch after installing now signs that account out.

Pulling down on these two screens only spun for a moment and refreshed nothing, so the gesture is gone.
