## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.2.0 — 2026-06-02

This version puts the community at the heart of the app!

NEW

• Box reviews: rate the condition (good / fair / poor), estimate the book count and leave a comment. Your feedback helps other users pick the best boxes to visit.

• Smarter map: each box now shows the color of its latest approved review (green, orange or red) directly on the map. See at a glance which boxes are in good shape.

• Redesigned "My submissions": a single screen now gathers your submitted photos, your new box submissions and your reviews. Track the status of every contribution (pending, approved, rejected).

• Proximity-based reviewing: to keep reviews honest, you must be within 100 m of a box to rate it. The distance is shown live in the form.

  IMPROVEMENTS

• "With photo" filter now reliable: legacy data inconsistencies have been fixed — the filter now only shows boxes that actually have a photo.
• More reliable moderation notifications, whether you're on TestFlight or the App Store.
• Faster app launch.

Thanks to the whole community contributing to a richer map of book boxes!

- Find the history of your photos and deletion requests in Settings, with their status updated in real time.
