Simplified the post-sit message when Airplane mode is still on.
Now you just need to turn off Airplane mode, and don't need to press a second button to recheck that it's off.
It now also shows a confirmation message when your Friend Notifications sends out.
Be happy :-)

NEW, MUCH REQUESTED: More Goenka recordings!
Fully integrated with the rest of the app, so you still get a simple Countdown timer, easy History tracking, and powerful Friend Notifications to stay connected with fellow meditators.
Huge thanks to everyone who wrote in suggesting these.
I've found them really great. Hope you do too.

Improved Daily Reminders!
The Daily Reminder notifications will now only fire if you haven't sat in the day yet. Or twice-yet for the PM reminder, if you have both AM & PM turned on.
These reminders will also now add a '1' badge to the homescreen app icon, so it's easier to see you still haven't met your goal for the day.
Other improvements:
‧ Friend notifications now include "with chanting" or "with extended mettā" or both.
‧ Improvements to the look of History List and Calendar, and the post-sit Airplane Mode reminder.
‧ Added check to make sure your name isn't set to 'null' before sending out Friend Notifications.
