## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.6 — 2026-10-07

See your free trial offer when you need it: right after you set up, after your first lesson, and whenever you switch language.

Improvements and fixes throughout the app.

### 1.0.5 — 2026-10-01

New: My Sentence, in Cantonese, Mandarin, Korean and Japanese. Bring a sentence you need to say, like a birthday wish for Grandma or a toast at a wedding banquet, and Bolo writes it and coaches you through it, part by part.

Last Call now comes once per zone, as the zone's final challenge.

Faster, steadier speaking scores, a clearer All-Access page, and topic pickers that tell you which topics unlock as you travel.

### 1.0.4 — 2026-09-27

Dress Bolo up! The Tailor has 24 new pieces, including a hachimaki, a Mid-Autumn lantern, a clay cup of cha, a hoodie and jeans, and hats from around the world. She can wear an outfit, a hat and hold something all at once. Bolo also looks and moves better than ever.

### 1.0.3 — 2026-09-23

Bolo is in 3D now.

She is a bird you can see all the way round, not a drawing. Her beak
moves with her own voice while she talks, she wanders about the screen
while you are thinking, and you can tap her to see what she does. She
has learned seven dances.

Chat has been rebuilt around her. She is bigger, she never sits on top
of the card you are waiting on, and she greets you when you open it.

You can also set how fast Bolo and the coach speak, which helps when a
word goes past too quickly.

Fixes: holding the microphone in chat is steadier, and a rare crash when
signing in with Google is gone.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-09-21

Fixes a rare crash that could happen if you tapped twice while a screen was opening.

The microphone is also more reliable on older devices: if recording does not start the first time, Bolo now tries again by herself.
