BandJam - Music Competitions

• GIFs in chat: League and crew chat now have a built-in GIF picker. Search for one, tap it, and it sends. • Know before you open the app: A count of what's waiting on you now appears on the app icon, covering songs to submit, votes to cast, and unread chat. It clears as you catch up. • Longer chat messages: Chat is now 500 characters instead of 280, matching the limit already used for comment replies. • Sharper deadline countdowns: Countdowns now show hours and minutes alongside days, so a deadline 47 hours out no longer reads as "1 day". A deadline that has passed says so instead of showing "0 hours". • Fast Forward explains itself: Ending a phase early now tells you what the schedule will look like afterwards before you confirm, so closing submissions early no longer quietly widens the gap before voting. • Clearer submission rules: Leagues that don't accept YouTube links no longer mention YouTube on the submit screen, instead of advertising it and explaining the restriction only after a paste was rejected. • Read state that follows you: Chat read state now syncs between your devices instead of living only on the device that read the message. • Fixed leagues that could never be started. • Fixed crew unread counts not appearing until you visited the Crews screen, and a quiet league's unread indicator being crowded out by chat-heavy leagues. • Bug fixes and stability improvements.
