## What is cosmou?

The best recommendations don't come from strangers or star ratings — they come from people you trust. Cosmou turns your friends' favorite spots into a map you can actually use, wherever you are.

• Save the places you love — cafes, bars, restaurants, parks, shops
• See recommendations from the people in your orbit, near you or in any city
• Broadcast to your orbit and discover what your people are planning
• Build guides and lists to share with friends
• Connect with the people whose taste you trust
• Find something great when you travel, straight from your people
• Your orbit knows best


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.3.30 — 2026-08-29

What's new:
• Map markers are bigger and easier to hit on iPad
Fixes:
• A saved sign-in that had expired could leave the app stuck loading — fixed

### 1.3.29 — 2026-08-28

What's New:
 • Added a new "history buff" vibe
• Your radar now shows collab guides from your orbit
• Fixed group chats showing "Group" instead of who's in them
• Fixed the world view cutting off regions it should have shown
• Fixed timestamps showing negative times

### 1.3.28 — 2026-08-27

What's new:
• Share a rec to your orbit without leaving the sheet — pick people, add a note, send
• Recs stuck on "needs a location" now resolve their own coordinates
• Fixed a failure when adding a rec that no retry could fix
• Map clusters break apart in one tap
• Fixed black text in the note field in dark mode

### 1.3.27 — 2026-08-26

What's new:
• Follow a guide someone shared with you, and find everything you follow in one place on your guides page
• Sharing a guide is rebuilt - pick people from your orbit, add a note, and send it in one step
• Not on cosmou yet? Send them an invite from the same sheet, then share the guide once they join
• Attach your recs to a stream reply - search them, pick more than one, and each shows its category at a glance
• A shared rec now opens the place itself, and a shared guide opens the guide
• Push notifications show the message instead of a line of code
• A place that's been removed says so, instead of quietly showing nothing
• Group chats are easier to find and to send to

### 1.3.26 — 2026-08-22

What's new: 
• One consistent search and input field across the app, in both sun and moon
• Write a tip with the keyboard up — the sheet lifts so save stays on screen
• Search ignores accents: krakow finds Kraków
• Vibe and user tags show the places that match, with who recommended each
• City search finds small towns again, and no more duplicate cities
• Fixes to my account, map framing and sign-in
