## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.2.1 — 2026-08-14

Version 1.2.1 fixes Controls and polishes the app.

- Fixed: the Control Center, Action Button and Lock Screen controls did not respond when pressed. They work now.
- Each control can target its own device, and the preset control its own preset.
- Pinning a device now makes it the one you are controlling, and pinned devices have a Control button to bring them back to the top.
- Fixed the widget's volume bar drawing past the edge of the widget at lower volumes.
- Fixed theme and appearance changes not applying across the whole app.
- Settings is reordered and now follows your theme.
- New Premium theme: Mono. A neutral palette with much higher contrast, so the widget stays readable at a glance.
- New app icon.

### 1.2.0 — 2026-08-11

Version 1.2.0 makes CastVolume faster to reach and quicker to respond.

- New: four Controls for Control Center, the Action Button, and the Lock Screen. Change the volume or mute with one press, with no app launch at all.
- Every control now responds instantly instead of waiting on the network.
- Redesigned device screen: the volume is the largest thing on it, and the bar is now a control — tap anywhere to set, drag to scrub.
- Widgets show a volume bar, and every surface is honest about how current a reading is rather than showing a confident number it can't stand behind.
- New diagnostics screen for discovery and connection issues.
- Better first-time setup guidance for Local Network access.
