## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.24.6 — 2026-10-16

What's new in 1.24.4:

MORE WORDS THAT SPEAK
452 more words now play in a real Awing voice instead of staying
silent. Tap the speaker on a word and you hear someone from the
community say it.

CLEARER RECORDINGS
Every native recording in the app was measured and repaired this
release. Clips that began with a second of silence now start when
you tap. Clips recorded too quietly to hear on a phone have been
brought up to a normal level. One recording that turned out to be
silent has been removed, so the app no longer shows a speaker
button for a word it cannot say yet.

DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT
Parent Settings now has Delete My Account. It permanently removes
your account, every child profile on it, all progress and settings,
and your backup. If you have donated recordings to the Awing
corpus, you choose whether they stay (with your name and email
removed) or go.

CLEANER DICTIONARY
Removed 207 duplicate spellings of words that were already in the
dictionary under another form, so searching gives one clear result
instead of near-identical twins.

FIXES
- Forgotten parent PIN reset now works reliably.
- Words with tone marks and special letters find their own
  recording instead of a similar word's.
- Corrected the backup screen's description of where your data is
  kept.
