Apps[edit]

  • iOS released version 5.7.0. This version includes an updated share-a-fact, improved on-boarding for new users and lots of fixes for iPhone X.

  • The Android app went to beta with their latest update. This version adds app shortcuts, image dimming, theming improvements for Light and Dark mode, bug fixes for Simplified and Traditional Chinese and many other refinements.
  • The apps teams participated in a 3 day "Offsite" in Philadelphia. Read about it here.
