What's New in FareGate
1.2.5
September 17, 2026
Fixes and a steadier review sheet. - Coming back to the same gated app keeps your review right where it was, cards and all. - Cards stay covered until they've fully drawn, and a card that fails to draw is reloaded instead of graded blind. - Relaunching at the first real gate now opens the real gate, not the practice run. - Your desktop cards show up on an arrival board, the built-in starter cards step aside once your own cards are in, and a pairing code that expires after you're already linked no longer asks you to pair again. - The Screen Time shield's morning fare no longer counts yesterday's cards. - Layout, contrast and tap-target fixes across setup, Settings, Stats, the Pro offer and the platform.
