Dashboard Redesign: - Boxes surrounding your counters on the Dashboard now have a shadow cast on it. - The notepad button has been swapped from a box, to an icon, giving it a cleaner appearance. - The reset, compare & settings buttons now have a new icon. - The time of day now will be displayed as the header of the Dashboard in a “Good Morning”, “Good Afternoon”, etc, format. This feature is not available on 4” displays (such as iPod touch & iPhone SE 1st generation) due to screen size limitations. Settings Redesign: - A new wallpaper has been added to the Settings menu. - The toggles in Settings have been restructured into different categories to prevent confusion. - The arrow that indicates another menu in Settings & its submenus has been updated & also now adapts to your selected theme. New Features: - Counter+- now has a widget! Add it to your home screen or Today View to view a counter (including its value & title) of your choice. - The widget will update in real-time as you edit your counter from within the app. - You can choose which counter will be displayed on the widget via a toggle in Settings called “Counter shown on Widgets”. - Full-screen counters now have a formal mode, which will turn the wallpaper black, hide the notepad, reset and share buttons & increase the font size of your counter’s number. - A button at the bottom of the full-screen counter called “Go Formal” has been added that will enable the formal button. - If formal mode is already on, the “Go Formal” button will be replaced with a “Go Casual” button, which will revert the counter to its standard (casual) view. - Full-screen counters are now actually full-screen, as opposed to being a floating panel in previous versions. You can dismiss them by tapping the back arrow at the top of the screen. Bug Fixes & Improvements: - Fixes an issue where your counter’s title would slant up if you resized the window or changed orientation. - Fixes an issue where the app’s icon would appear distorted on some system menus. - Fixes a minor alignment issue on the Dashboard. - Fixes an issue where the text in the Privacy Policy would be almost unreadable in Dark Mode. - Fixes an issue where the share button could appear hidden in full-screen counters when the blue theme was active. - The header on full-screen counters are now the number of the counter (e.g; “Counter 1”, “Counter 2”, etc). - The “What’s new in [version number]?” header in the “What’s new?” panel has been changed to “Welcome to [version number]!”. - Changed the history icon in the Reset panel. As a result of these new features, support for iOS 13 has been dropped. However, every device that can run iOS 13 can also run iOS 14; which is compatible with Counter+- 2.0. The Mac version will still support macOS Big Sur and later. Counter+- will now operate on iOS 14.0 & macOS Big Sur and later.

You can still easily open the privacy policy by going to Settings, then clicking on the hand. - Corrected a bug where settings that can be toggled by a switch may not work correctly on its first use.
