Original release notes

Version 1.0.5 is our biggest update yet. The whole app now speaks nine languages, and every element's name is recorded so you can hear it said properly.

NINE LANGUAGES
- English, Español, Français, Deutsch, 中文, Português, 日本語, हिन्दी and Русский, including every element name, property and introduction.
- The app follows your device's language, and you can change it at any time in Settings.

HEAR EVERY NAME
- Every element's name is now a recording in each of the nine languages, so it sounds natural and the same on every device, with no missing voices.

UNDERSTAND EVERY NUMBER
- Tap the ⓘ next to a property to see what it means.
- A new glossary explains 23 terms with real examples from the table.

NEW AND REWRITTEN PAGES
- History: the 350-year story of how the periodic table came together.
- How to Use: a short tour of everything the app can do.
- About and Privacy have been rewritten in plain language.

A CLEANER LAYOUT
- A single Settings button, at the top right on iPhone and iPad, holds the language and every page.
- Menus always stay fully on screen.

FIXES
- Pages such as About no longer open blank.
- Chinese, Japanese and Hindi text now displays correctly on iPad.
- Faster start: element introductions load only when you open an element.
