What's New in Crowded NYC
1.2.1
September 30, 2026
Roost is now turn-on-and-forget. Start a roost when you head out — then forget your phone exists. Your night traces itself on the map, and the roost ends on its own when your night does, so you wake up to a recap instead of a stopwatch you forgot to stop. Post reports and photos along the way and your stops get named automatically; skip them and the trace still tells the story — you can name your stops afterwards with a tap. Your nights stay private, visible only to you. Live events — coming soon. We're partnering with event organizers around the city, starting this Halloween season. Keep an eye out in the app for featured nights out. Plus small fixes and polish throughout.
