Released August 16, 2026Major

iOS Android

The latest major update maintains a perfect five-star rating across both platforms, though the sample size remains too small for statistical certainty. The introduction of guided learning paths serves as the primary positive signal for user accessibility. The overall impact is neutral due to the limited volume of feedback following the release.

Marlvel takeaways

The guided beginner learning path successfully lowers the barrier to entry for new users, suggesting this feature should be prioritized in future onboarding flows.
The current review sample size is insufficient to validate the performance of the new in-app update system or social features.
Marketing efforts should highlight the new Coach tab features to capitalize on the positive reception regarding accessibility.
