## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.3.3 — 2026-08-13

Your AI nutritionist now remembers you, and when a scan gets your food wrong you can fix it just by telling it what is off.

What's new:
- It remembers you: it already knows the answers you gave when you set the app up, and it holds on to what you tell it, like the fact you cannot stand greek yogurt or that you have dinner at the office
- Wrong food? Just say so: open the chat on a meal and tell it what is off, and it recalculates the calories, the macros and the ingredients for you
- Meet it right away: you can try it during setup now, with questions ready to tap
- The banana on the home screen woke up: it breathes and it blinks
- A cleaner chat: what you typed no longer stays in the box after you send it, tapping the screen closes the keyboard, and the screen is not crowded any more while you type
- The accuracy thumbs on a scan finally do something
- Long meal names are no longer cut in half

Thanks for all the feedback, keep it coming!

### 1.3.2 — 2026-08-07

Meet the AI Nutritionist: a new tab where you can ask anything about your day, and it does the work for you inside the app.

New:
- AI Nutritionist: log meals, water and weight just by saying or typing what you had, with no menus to tap through
- Ask what to eat tonight with the calories you have left, then add the suggestion with a single tap
- Send a photo of your plate and get an honest opinion, plus an estimate of calories and macros
- Ask how your week went, what you ate yesterday, or change your goals, all in plain language
- Voice input, so you can log a meal without typing a word
- Report a bug or send us an idea straight from Settings
- Long product names now show in full instead of being cut off

Thanks for your feedback, keep it coming!

### 1.3.1 — 2026-08-05
