What’s new?

🕖History of texts

You can now see the past texts you wrote by navigating to the library. All players will be able to their 10 last messages, and subscribers will be able to see their full history. Important note: matches written in previous versions of the app might not show immediately (I am gradually migrating the data to the new format that will show on the history).

🕵️‍♀️Exploring tasks for new players who feel lost

⭐️"Rate us" message on iOS

🛑Report button to corrections
♻️Circular spinner while fetching matches
🗣Proficiency info on bookmarks and corrections
👉Selectable text on corrections and bookmarks
🥶Temporarily disabled daily challenges tab. There wasn’t a lot of people using it and it required a lot of manual work to keep creating the challenges. I didn’t post any for a while and nobody complained so now I disabled it until we rethink this feature for the future.

Testimonial contest results

Thanks for everyone who participated in our testimonial contest! After our internal voting with an anonymised version of the texts, these are the four testimonials we picked. Initially we picked three, but as one of them turned out to be a family member (Hi, tom 💖 ), we felt it was fair to pick one more since we had anticipated 3 packs of prizes 🎉

The prizes were: 1 year of free Polygloss subscription, free italki credits and a language book of choice. I’ll be shipping the packages soon 🎁  What do you think of these prizes?
