### 5/5 — Best experience to browse Swift proposals on iPhone

*2017-05-03*

Thank you for your work on this!

**Developer response:** You're welcome! Please, be my guest to follow us on twitter: @swift_evolution or @tholanda and suggest some new feature! ;)

### 5/5 — Great app for tracking Swift Evolution!!

*2017-04-30*

This is a very nicely done app for browsing and viewing the proposals in the Swift Evolution process. 

The dev is pretty cool too. I tweeted a few feature requests and he responded in under an hour that those features were soon coming!!

**Developer response:** Hey Vic, thank you so much for you review! Feel free to get in touch any time you want! Your and community suggestions are very welcome and appreciated! After all I just made the app, but the owner is who use it: You.

### 5/5 — Handy tool!

*2017-04-20*

This is a good way to remind myself to comment on proposals before the review period ends. Some of the proposals are in the wrong state, but I think that's an issue with the swift-evolution GitHub repo, not this app.

**Developer response:** Hey SlaunchMan, thank you for your feedback! Just to know: all proposals and his info, came directly from Apple, without any changes on it's data. I'm working now on a backend to improve the speed and the quality of information from the app. If you want to be updated about what I'm doing on app, come with us on twitter @tholanda or @swift_evolution.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.3 — 2020-06-09

- Support to Dark Mode (thanks to Anton Kuzmin)
- New Swift Evolution status: Previewing
- Improved the way to read proposals without huge font sizes.

If you have any questions, bug report, suggestion, please drop me a line on twitter @tholanda or send an email to feedback@evoapp.io.

### 1.2 — 2018-05-28

I'm finally releasing a new version of EVOlution App. You might be asking why did I take so long to release the 1.2 version and here is the answer:

Many things were being prepared on the backend (which is 100% Swift) to have the main star of this new release: Push Notifications. 
Now you will receive a notification when a proposal is created or updated.

- Settings screen
You can disable to receive notifications in the new Settings screen in two taps and will not receive any until you enable it again.

- iPad Support
Now, you can read all proposals on your iPad. 
Thanks, Leonardo Cardoso

- iPhone X support
I couldn't release any new version without support iPhone X, otherwise, users would kill me! LoL
Thanks, Guilherme Rambo

- Bug fixes/enhancement
Thanks to: Bruno Guidolim, Bruno Bilescky, Rob Hudson

If you want to help me with the app, you can check on Settings > Open Source where you can find the repo on GitHub.

### 1.1.1 — 2017-07-13

We are happy to announce that there is now a new release of the Evolution iOS app! In this release, we improved the performance by reducing the load time for proposals and fixed a few minor bugs. 

Also, we now leverage a new backend for frontend (BFF) component completely implemented in the Swift language… yes, the same language used to develop the Evolution iOS app! This backend component uses the Kitura web framework (from our partner, IBM) to obtain data from the Swift Evolution repository, cache that data for faster access, and process incoming requests from the iOS app. This BFF component runs on the IBM Cloud, Bluemix, which provides valuable DevOps services such as Auto-Scaling and Open Toolchain support. In case you have not heard, we have made the source code for the BFF component open! You can go to the "About" screen on the iOS app to learn mode (just tap on item "App - Backend").

Finally, it is worth mentioning that in a future release, we will add support for iPads and Push notifications. Stay tuned!

### 1.1 — 2017-04-11

No release notes.
