New in this build
- New: the lesson deck is gone from first launch. A fresh install now goes straight to unlock and into the app; onboarding happens in place — a prompt to bring in your first photos, then a spotlight tour that points out the real tabs and controls and waits for you to actually tap them. Skippable at any point. The old guided deck still exists under Settings → How Reverie works
- Fixed: the tour works with a screen reader. Steps that point at a real control no longer trap TalkBack inside the overlay — the control being pointed at is now reachable, so the tour can be completed, not just skipped
- Fixed: emailing support now tells you when no mail app is set up — the Support row in Settings quietly said nothing before; and on many phones the report sheet’s Email report button always fell back to the share sheet because the OS hid the mail app from Reverie — it now asks properly
Earlier in this wave
- New: you can send a bug report or an idea to support. The report sheet (shake the phone, or Settings → Report a problem or an idea) now has an Email report button that opens your mail app already addressed to support, with your message and your phone’s details filled in — you just tap send. Nothing is sent on its own and nothing from your vault is ever included; a crash log is attached only if you choose “Share the file instead”. Settings also shows the support address now
- Fixed: the date scale on the river piled up at the bottom on a library only a little taller than the screen — the scale is now spread by where each month actually sits, so no two labels land on the same spot
- Fixed: descenders (the tails of g, y, p) were shorn off the onboarding titles on Android — the title’s line was drawn a hair too tight for its own font
- Fixed: a long album name pushed its checkmark off the screen in the “Add to album” sheet — the name now truncates and the tick stays put
- Fixed: the date scale on the river was crushed into the top when the whole library fit on one screen — the scrubber now only appears once there is something to scroll
- Fixed: the month name vanished from the top bar while scrolling the calendar. The bar hid its label whenever a month divider was the topmost visible row — but the header floats over the list, so a divider that had scrolled up behind the bar still counted as visible. It blanked at exactly the moment the thing it was deferring to was invisible
- Fixed: today’s ring in the calendar sat off-centre. The circle was placed correctly; Android was padding the number by the font’s metrics rather than the digit, which sat it high inside the ring
Before that, a UI defect sweep — contrast, clipping, overflow and alignment. Thirteen fixes.
- Fixed: empty days in the calendar were almost invisible. A dim was applied on top of an already-quiet colour, and the two multiplied — leaving the date numerals at 1.7:1 contrast. That is most days in a typical month
- Fixed: screen titles were clipping the tails of g, y and p. The line height had drifted below what the design spec calls for, and Android shears any part of a letter drawn outside the line box
- Fixed: a long album name pushed the word "Locked" off the screen in the album options sheet
- Fixed: the keyboard covered the comments box when writing a note from the feed
- Timeline and Albums were lining their content up four pixels right of their own titles — both now sit on the app's real margin
- The play badge on video clips in a thread now carries a scrim, so it stays visible on bright photos
- Weekday letters above each month, and empty days in the jump-to-day sheet, are readable again
- The Stories close button now lines up with the action rail beneath it
- Row arrows are one consistent size throughout, and the feed's date pill no longer grows toward the reload button on narrow screens
- The close button in the viewer and in stories now sits on glass — it was a bare white icon drawn straight onto the photo, so it vanished over a bright one. All three full-screen surfaces now use one control at one position
- The era chips on the Timeline were sitting 4px right of the title above them and the grid below — they line up now
- The Eras / Months switch was a 34px-tall tap target against a 44px floor; found by measuring the running app
- The swipe hint on the Memory of the Day card was one pixel below centre
