Introduction of a map cache for non-Apple map servers: • If a map other than Apple Maps, i.e. Google or OpenStreetMap (OSM, OSM2), is selected in the map tab, all map tiles delivered by the corresponding map server are stored in a cache. If a map tile is found in the cache when the map is called up again, it is used without causing network traffic. If there are enough map tiles in the cache, a map can also be displayed offline, e.g., in areas with no reception, which is not uncommon when sitting in a Zoiglstuben. The cache survives a restart of the app, so that with frequent use of the app, almost all the necessary map tiles are available offline. By default, a maximum of 100 megabytes are used for the cache per map (Google, OSM, OSM2). • The last map selection made now is saved in the app settings, so that it survives even if the app is restarted. This selection can also be made in the app settings. • The size of the map cache in megabytes can be selected in the app settings. Please note that a separate cache is maintained for each map type. Reducing the cache to a value of 0 deletes all map caches and prevents further use of the caches until a value greater than 0 is set again. • Please note that if you select OSM2, the free map server used only provides a daily quota of 5,000 tiles per 24 hours. This is what makes the use of a cache particularly interesting when using OSM2, as requests for map tiles can be safisfied from the cache. When the quota is expired, a corresponding message is displayed. Further changes: • Adding and changing the voice command for Siri now works again in iOS 26. However, speech recognition has difficulty recognising dialect words such as Zoigl. Therefore, it sometimes takes several attempts before Siri understands the voice command. • The display of Siri query results has been revised and improved; text and images are now fully visible again (for all supported versions of iOS). • Various minor improvements and efficiency enhancements by reducing resource requirements. • The help text (Extended Help) has been thorougly revised and supplemented with screenshots for iOS 26.

Many adjustments for iOS 26: • New symbols in the buttons in the navigation bar. • On the iPhone, the search mask in the two lists of open and all Zoigl places is now permanently displayed. It appears at the bottom and overlays the last item in the respective list. • On the iPhone, the category selection is displayed in text form when the search function is activated for the first time after starting the app; category icons are displayed when the search is activated again. • On the iPad, the tab bar no longer appears with text and icons at the bottom, but as text (without icons) at the top below the navigation bar. Some functions have been permanently removed or are temporarily unavailable: • The app longer supports landscape mode on the iPhone (also applies when using the app on iOS versions prior to iOS 26). • Temporary removal of support for setting and changing the activation text for Siri. • Until further notice, it is no longer possible to use Spoken text as a sound effect for notifications when approaching a Zoiglstube on iOS 26, as this was a reason for many crashes of the app. On iOS 26, the sound effect Pouring a beer is used instead of the spoken text. • The app's help text has not yet been adapted to the new appearance of the app on iOS 26.
