What's new in Smart App 1.1.10 • Route Optimization — one tap arranges any day's stops for the shortest total drive • Offline Map Snapshots — every saved place gets a cached MapKit tile that works without Wi-Fi • PDF Trip Export — print or share a full itinerary with days, stops, budget and checklist • Live Trip Countdown — the menu bar now counts down to your next trip and shows your next reservation • Global Search (⌘F) — find any place, folder, trip, stop, reservation or note across your whole library • 3 more Shortcuts / Siri actions — "Add expense to my Rome trip", "Log a visit", "Route to a saved place" • URL scheme — deep-link into places, trips and searches from other apps (smartapp://…) • JSON export & import — full library backup and restore, from Settings → Data • Focus Filter — Smart App integrates with macOS System Settings → Focus to auto-filter places by context • Better paywall recovery — if the App Store can't load plans, Smart App now offers a retry and a graceful fallback so nobody gets stuck Fixes: address bar now hints coordinates for backroads, more reliable "My Location", improved Print behaviour, and dozens of small polish improvements.

Momentum comes from crawler snapshots for the tracked storefront. “Viral growth signal” means unusually fast recent rating gains; it is an indicator, not download data.
