Released August 9, 2023Major

Android

The latest major update focused on interface refinements and performance stability. While early feedback indicates a 0.75-star rating increase on Android, the sample size is too small to confirm a definitive positive shift. The removal of historical sign-up barriers and hardware crashes suggests a cleaner user experience, though the overall impact remains neutral due to limited data.
