## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.9.9 — 2026-09-10

New in 1.9.9

Notifications
• The notification icon displays correctly instead of a white square.
• New requests now appear in your in-app notifications.
• Muting your own notifications no longer stops the other person
  receiving theirs.
• Four notification types that previously had no settings can now
  be turned on and off.

Phone numbers
• Australian numbers, including landlines, now work correctly.
  Some numbers previously prevented sign-up entirely.
• International numbers are no longer misread as US numbers.

Photos
• Item photos are now private to you and the person you're lending
  to or borrowing from.
• A photo that can't load now explains why instead of showing an
  empty grey box.

Other fixes
• Custom categories now show their name instead of an internal ID.
• Subscription prices always come from the App Store, so the price
  shown always matches what you'll be charged.
• Corrected due-date time zones, item counts, currency rounding and
  seasonal labels for the southern hemisphere.
• Fixed a number of issues where a fix had been applied to lending
  but not borrowing, or the reverse.
• General performance and stability improvements.

### 1.9.7 — 2026-08-06

Fixes and improvements throughout the app:

• Fixed a crash that could close the app when opening
  Active Loans or Active Borrows.
• Due dates no longer shift by a day depending on your
  time zone -- the date you pick is the date that's saved.
• Overdue items now show the same status everywhere.
  Previously a card could show "Overdue" and "Active"
  at the same time.
• Tapping a reminder now opens the right item instead of
  dropping you on the home screen.
• "Mark as Returned" no longer gets stuck if the save fails.
• Custom categories now sync to your account, so they
  follow you to a new phone instead of disappearing.
• You can now add or update your phone number in Settings.
• Pending requests show the correct due date and clearly
  say who made the request.
• Editing an item now lets you clear its value, and the
  date picker's Cancel button properly cancels.
• If a photo fails to upload, you're told -- instead of the
  item saving silently without it.
• More accurate analytics: lending and borrowing figures,
  monthly trends and contact statistics were mislabelled
  or miscounted.
• Data export now labels loans and borrows correctly and
  handles item names containing quotes.
• Better support for tablets, foldables and landscape.
• Improved layout on Android so buttons are no longer
  hidden behind the system navigation bar.

### 1.9.3 — 2026-07-27

What's new in 1.9.3

• Fixed notifications and reminders so you're reliably alerted about loans, borrows, and overdue items
• More accurate due-date reminders (no more off-by-a-day)
• Smoother, faster loading of your contacts and lending history
• Password reset now works reliably
• Security and privacy improvements
• Various bug fixes and performance tweaks

Thanks for using Boomerang!
