August 17th

  • ...has anyone managed to get a full house yet? 🤔

  • Added a Free Vs Pro feature and price comparison page
  • Some badges weren't displayed on your public profile if you've enabled badge sharing - that is now fixed

July 6th

  • All charts now have more appropriate labels and tooltips (e.g. hours/minutes rather than minutes for training and sleep)
