Bring a whole collection in at once. - Add missing ingredients to the shopping list you choose, one at a time or all together. A DASHBOARD THAT IS YOURS - Reorder, hide, and show dashboard sections to match how you use hmly. - Quick actions now sit right at the top. - The dashboard now opens with the real state of the house, the good and the bad, and there is a Home Screen widget to match. FIXES YOU WILL FEEL - Cooking a recipe now updates your pantry immediately. - Adding to the shopping list now tells you what was added, what was already listed, and what you have in stock. - The scan button on the dashboard now does something. It reads a barcode and takes you straight to adding the item. - Recipes no longer sit off the edge of the screen on smaller phones and larger text sizes. - Saved filters filter properly again, and restoring defaults keeps your custom filters safe. - Notification text now reads properly in every language. - Fixed a rare crash that could happen while hmly was saving an automatic backup.

EAT THE WAY YOU EAT - New Plant-Based Only switch in Settings. Turn it on and meal ideas, recipe suggestions, the shopping template and Smart Restock all leave out meat, fish, dairy and eggs. - Log what you ate outside a recipe. Type it the way you would say it, like three scoops of ice cream. IDEAS THAT KNOW YOUR KITCHEN - Meal suggestions now weigh how many people you cook for, the recipes you rated highly, and what you have eaten recently, so the same dinner stops coming back around. TIDIER - The Pantry toolbar had two microphone buttons and two sort controls. There is now one of each. - Deleting your data now stops sharing properly, so a household you owned no longer stays live in everyone else's app. - Adding to the shopping list now always uses a list you are still shopping, never one you already finished. - The Pantry is better with names: unsalted butter now counts as butter. MEASURES THAT MAKE SENSE - Cooking a recipe now takes off the right amount. A teaspoon of baking powder no longer empties a one kilo tub. - Recipes written in spoons now work against a pantry weighed in grams, for around eighty everyday ingredients. - Say what one clove, tin or slice weighs in the item's own editor, and recipes written that way take off the right amount. - Amounts under a kilo or a litre now read in grams and millilitres. EASIER TO PICK AND CHOOSE - Tap items in the Pantry grid to select them one by one, not just all at once. - Press and hold a recipe to choose several at once, and the Recipes title is no longer cut off. Much of this release came straight from your emails.
