Freezer Management — Rebuilt Freezing food now does much more than move an item to a list. When you swipe left and tap Freeze, FreshDate automatically calculates how long that product can safely stay frozen based on what it is — chicken gets 3 months, butter 9 months, bacon 1 month, bread 3 months, cooked meals 3 months. The expiry date updates instantly to reflect the freeze window, and a warning notification fires 7 days before the limit so nothing gets forgotten at the back of the freezer. Defrost Flow with Safe Eating Windows Brand new in this version. Swipe left on a frozen item and tap Defrost. FreshDate moves it back to your fridge and sets a safe eating deadline based on UK Food Standards Agency guidelines: -Raw poultry, fish & mince: 24 hours -Raw red meat & cooked meals: 48 hours -Bread & baked goods: 48 hours -Butter: 1 week The item shows an orange border and "Defrosting" badge so it stands out in your list. A reminder notification fires 6 hours before the safe window closes. No more guessing whether something is still safe to eat after defrosting. Swipe Gesture — Fixed and Polished The swipe-to-action gesture has been completely rebuilt. Previous versions had a conflict between the swipe handler and the list scroll that caused rows to snap back before you could tap the buttons. This is now fully fixed. Swipe left — the row stays open. Tap Freeze (blue) or Delete (red) at your own pace. Buttons clip cleanly to the card's rounded corners and slide in smoothly as you swipe. Cleaner Categories Cupboard and Fruit Bowl have been removed. The app now uses Fridge and Freezer only — simpler, faster, and how most households actually think about their food. You can now also choose Fridge or Freezer when scanning a new item, right on the confirmation screen before saving. Navigation & Stability Fixes -Fixed crashes on the Storage, Shopping List, Receipt Scanner, and Invite screens -Fixed the Calendar quick-action on the home screen -Fixed item tapping on the Storage screen -Fixed icon display issues on Android -General performance improvements throughout Thank you for using FreshDate. Every update is built around one goal — helping your household waste less food and save more money.
