- No more ads! No sign-up required. Your personal wordbook app on your phone.
- Improved accessibility features.
- Fixed bugs with CloudKit fetch requests.
- Added Revisit functionality for word entries: swipe right on the word entry, and you can allocate that word entry to the bottom of your list to revisit it later. This revisit function allows you to relocate words that you feel comfortable with and gives higher visibility to less frequented (pun-intended) or more difficult word entries in your list by keeping them near the top.
- Removed Pod frameworks, which resulted in a much smaller app size.
- Removed advertisements and any mobile ad frameworks for ads. Now removing ads in the app upgrades section will simply upgrade the word limit expansion and test settings functionality as a grouping, or allow you to pay for the app retroactively - I am very grateful for any gestures of kindness.
