## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.1.5 — 2026-10-06

• Tap any rule to see exactly how it scores — before and after the challenge starts
• Weight and exercise minutes now have a Save button, so you know they're saved
• Confirmation before an organizer removes a member
• Rules editor asks before discarding unsaved edits
• Adopted rule proposals keep their votes
• App-icon badge clears once you've read your messages
• Fixed the offline banner appearing right after the phone wakes
• Fixed cut-off text in the starting-weight box and other forms
• Faster, lighter daily logging

### 1.1.4 — 2026-10-03

• Be in up to three challenges at once, and switch between them from the dashboard.
• Send photos and GIFs in chat.
• Message notifications now show the message, and tapping one opens the conversation.
• Change your name or upload your own profile photo under Account.
• Participants can share the invite before an open challenge starts.
• Rule votes are now up or down. Tap again to take your vote back.
• Fixed: creating a challenge could wrongly report that it failed.

### 1.1.3 — 2026-09-24

• Tap an invite link without the app installed and it now takes you straight
  to the App Store. Once you've installed the app, go back to the message and
  tap the link again to open the challenge.
• The screen before a challenge starts is simpler. Rules voting has its own
  page now, explaining what you're voting on, who decides and when voting
  closes, next to the organizer's description of the challenge.
• Smaller fixes and refinements.

### 1.1.2 — 2026-09-18

• New arrival screen and a Welcome aboard badge when you join a challenge
• Chat notifications are calmer: one alert per conversation, none for the thread you're already in
• Fixed the Today tab jumping while scrolling before a challenge starts

### 1.1.1 — 2026-09-17

Join with a link, chat with the whole group, vote on the rules, and celebrate the finish.

• Join links — tap healthchallenge.app/join?code=… and the app opens straight to the challenge. The code still works if you'd rather type it.
• Group chat — every challenge now has a room for everyone, with mute and emoji reactions on messages and announcements.
• Shape the rules before you start — propose a rule, vote on the ones you like, and the organizer can adopt what the group wants.
• A proper finish — final standings, the podium, and your challenge in numbers, with a nudge when the organizer wraps up.
• Share it — a badge, a great week, or your final result, straight to your friends.
• Run it again — organizers can relaunch a finished challenge with the same setup, and the old group gets a one-tap invite.
• Profile photos on the leaderboard and in chat.
• Leave a challenge if you joined the wrong one — and a finished challenge no longer blocks you from starting the next.
• Organizers: pick your own join code, switch join approval on or off after creating, and approve everyone waiting in one tap.
