What's new in 1.5

Skyty on your wrist.

A full Apple Watch app with four glanceable complications:
• Altitude — flight altitude in a circular complication
• Position — city, altitude & speed at a glance
• Position (Inline) — city & altitude on one line
• Altitude (Corner) — flight altitude in the watch face corner
