## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.1.5 — 2026-02-24

- Retake that shot: Not happy with your bounty pic? Tap "Retake bounty picture" right from the bounty sheet and get the glory shot you deserve.
- Snap, snap, replace - Took an even better "after" photo? Just hit the complete button again to swap out your last session picture.
- Why do you need an account for? I added a little explanation so you know exactly what's going on before you sign up.
- Meet your new session hints: Added some small tips with icons right on the session screen to help you figure out what everything does. No popups, no fuss. Just a little "Bibbidy, bobbidy, boo! Tap the magic wand and I'll plan the cleaning for you!" energy.

### 1.1.3 — 2026-02-20

- Fixed a small, but annoying bug with bounties time tracking: you can now reliably pause the timer and take a break
- Added "Leave a review" button to settings so that you can share how much you've enjoyed Hounty
- And last, but not least, added the missing subscriptions so that you can finally get the Pro status when you are ready

### 1.1 — 2026-02-13

AI-POWERED CLEANING IS HERE!

Smart bounty detection - Create a free account and let AI analyze your room to suggest what to clean
Cloud sync - Access your cleaning wins across all devices (optional, you control what syncs)
Perfect alignment tool - Camera overlay ensures your before/after photos match exactly
