December 3, 2021

Minor bugs squashed in order to maintain 12 hour checkin sequence and to spin the wheel while photos from suggest objects are uploaded to the team.

Welcome to IP 1.0.10. We have made some adjustments to make sure that you can compare your scores with friends, family and other competitors on the scoreboard on the latest iOS. Enjoy your local and global walks and travels as InitialPoints broadens out globally!

Welcome to 1.0.9. We want to make sure the photos you submit for new objects get uploaded even if your connection may be slow, so we have included a spinning wheel to let you know that work is in progress. Also, since you may be combining exercise, point collection and your morning or evening walkercise, we have decreased the interval limit between checkins so you've got some leeway in when you can do your daily checkins.

First big update of the year! We are set on becoming the World's best and preferred app for finding, learning and sharing interesting objects in real life, while having fun and competing, and are including new features such as: • Push notifications, so you'll get a heads up when there is a new object within one of your fields of interest. When you open the notification it will take you straight to that statue, museum or object in your app, and from there you can navigate to other objects in the same themes and collections, or browse the artist, depicted persons and related websites. • New levels, and as some of our early superusers have burst through the ceiling of the scoreboard, we are increasing the top level from Level 10 at 10 000 points to Level 99 at nearly a million points. We are also introducing new level names as you pass 10 000 points, all relating to knowledge in various forms and cultures. • Feedback system, so you'll get a confirmation when you have checked in at an object and the points are added to the score. In addition, when you have suggested a new object and it is accepted, you'll get a notification as well. • Level up screens, a congratulations from us to you when you reach the next level. • New categories to look for are the "local tourist"-points, which are locally owned tourist companies that may be interesting for you as a "local" to discover until travel opens up again. You'll be an ambassador for your local area in your future travels, and the local operators will get local inputs to help them improve their products. Also, the DTO (Digtal Tourist Office) category will be a new disruptive way to find your travel information when you need it, where you need it. • New tutorial under the lightbulb to see the main features of the IP-app. • Add new favorite themes, collections and artists directly under your personal page. Additionally you can add them individually as you browse through objects, by "liking" your preferences as you go. Thank you for using the app and for helping us help you discover and rediscover culture and history, museums and galleries and other fun and interesting points of interest.

New tutorial in the upper left corner explains some of the main features of the app! Also, we are looking into local tourist og digital tourist offices to help you find the digital resources where you are and when you need it.

New feedback function that lets you know when your suggestion has been approved and is available for all to see. Try it by pressing the map. When your entry has been reviewed, you'll get a feedback through the app.

You're in! Your avatar or personal picture is now displayed in the scoreboard — both for the Top 100 and for your own score if you're just starting to discover and explore! Also, a small surprise when you level up, and a few bugs that have been fixed! Enjoy!

Great news! We have improved the submission process for new objects. If you want to propose a new object to score EXP-points and for the benefit of other users, you can now zoom in on the map and simply press on the position of the object. Now a new satellite map pops up, and you can fine tune the position. Also, you can take more than a single photo as well before submitting. And yes, we've fixed a couple of other minor bugs as well!

Bug fixes and product improvements. We've fixed several small ones and are working on others. As we are waiting to start traveling again, most of the objects will be in Norway as we test and expand elsewhere in the process. Thanks for joining us!
