With only two releases identified in the last seven months, the app maintains a maintenance-level cadence of approximately one update every 3.5 months. Development is currently focused on stability and UX improvements, specifically addressing flashcard session errors and navigation bugs. The latest release continues this trend of technical refinement rather than new feature expansion.
