We have also added support for Chinese and Portuguese. Thank you to the volunteers who took time to translate the app!
And we've also improved some graphics and fixed a few minor bugs.

This version brings MapSwipe in your language! The app is now available in 11 languages (some are only partially translated and need your help)! You can select your preferred language from the "More" screen, just under your level badge. This release would not have been possible without the help of our amazing volunteer translators. If that's you, thank you so much!
