Velocity
Maintenance developmentnew contentUX improvementsShow more...
The app maintains a maintenance-level cadence, with only one release shipped in the last 26 days. Development is currently focused on minor optimizations and camera handling improvements rather than significant feature expansion. The lack of frequent updates or live-service content suggests a stable, low-intensity development cycle. Future updates are expected to continue this pattern of infrequent, minor maintenance releases.
