What's New in Crumb

1.7

October 22, 2026

What's new in 1.7: • More photos per scan: add a crust or bottom shot next to your crumb photo for a fuller read. It's still just one scan. • Steadier scores: crumb reads are now much more consistent from scan to scan. • Name your starter: give your jar a name (or roll the dice for one), set the day you started it, and celebrate its birthdays. • Loaf name ideas: tap the dice when naming a bake for a fun suggestion. • Then vs. now: see your first loaf beside your latest, and share it. • Change your baker name from Profile. Your past community posts update too. • Report a problem: one tap sends us your app and device details so we can help faster.
