Kwanzaa

December 17, 2017

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon. * Notifications! If you give the app permission, it will give you a short Kwanzaa message each day of Kwanzaa. As a bonus, the app icon will show a number so you'll know the day of Kwanzaa without even opening the app! I mean, for this reason alone, we shoulda called this version 3.5, people! (You can always turn off these notifications under Settings > Notifications > Kwanzaa.) * Page Updates. Some minor changes to the "More Info" pages, including links to Venus's social media sites. * Other behind-the-scenes improvements to support future improvement ideas.

Okay... wow. After a too-long absence from the app store, we're back! Here's what's new... * Universal App. So this app was always "universal", right? But now it's "iOS Universal," meaning it works on both iPhones and iPads. Have an iPad? Install it! (It's free, remember.) Know someone else who has an iPad? Share it! * iOS 11 Rewrite. The entire app has been rewritten in Apple's Swift programmming language, with some enhanced design and a simplified app icon. I hope you find the new look easy on the eyes. If you don't, let me know. * Social Sharing. Version 2.0 introduced the ability to share via email. With version 3.0, we've added the ability to Tweet, Post to Facebook, and even send some Kwanzaa wishes via text message! Look for the usual share button at the bottom right of each Day view. Sharing is caring, and we hope you'll find it easy to spread the love!
