Original release notes
Two ways to start. Focus Music now opens with a choice. Guided sets the session up for you: name what you are working on, pick a length, and we will start you on the right channel. Free Flow hands you the controls: browse everything and drive it yourself. What else is new: Sessions that remember you. Save a session and it comes back ready to go, same channel, same task, fresh timer. Your recent sessions and channels are waiting on the home screen. A better way to browse. A redesigned channel browser with search, organised by family, so you can find the right sound in seconds. Steer without stopping. Ask for more like this, a different vibe, or a change of energy, and the music adjusts while it keeps playing. No more passwords. Sign in with a code we email you. Starting a free trial is password free too. Music starts when you say so. Opening the app no longer starts playing on its own. A fresh look. New colors throughout, a new home screen, and a cleaner player. Smoother playback. More reliable resume when you come back, better transitions between tracks, and accurate session timing. Plus a long list of fixes across sign in, billing and playback.
