## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.31 — 2026-08-12

What's new in 1.31: 
- The Calendar now groups earnings and economic events by their US market day, with times shown in Eastern time plus your local time. Also fixed a stock-page bug where tapping a section shortcut mid-scroll didn't take you there.

### 1.30 — 2026-07-20

What's new in 1.30:
- Rule of 40 scores for software stocks, in the Value Estimate
  card and as a standalone card for companies still burning cash
- Earnings breakdowns now stay on the stock page until the next
  report instead of disappearing after 30 days
- Notable investors rows now show fund manager photos
- Faster app opens and less battery use

### 1.29 — 2026-07-17

New: Rule of 40 for software stocks. Revenue growth plus cash margin in one score, explained in plain English, inside the Value Estimate.

Fixed: earnings breakdowns no longer disappear from the stock page after a month.

### 1.28 — 2026-07-14

The Business tab now covers every US-listed stock.

Open a stock and the Business tab shows how the company actually makes money: its revenue streams, what each product does, who pays for it, and why the business is hard to copy. Each breakdown is built from the company's own SEC filings, every figure is checked against the filing totals before it's shown, and it refreshes automatically after each earnings report. The first time anyone opens a stock's Business tab it takes about half a minute to prepare. After that it loads instantly.

New: Value Estimate.

Stock pages now have a Value Estimate card built on a cash-flow model. It leads with the number that matters: how fast the company would have to grow for today's price to make sense. Set the growth you expect on the dial and see what a share would be worth, side by side with the current price.

Also in this update:

- Earnings breakdowns show how the growth a company is delivering compares with what its price needs.
- The insider activity section has a clearer title and notes when sales were pre-scheduled (10b5-1 plans).
- Small fixes and polish.

### 1.27 — 2026-07-08

Value Estimate, a new way to judge a stock's price.

Stock pages now have a Value Estimate card built on a cash-flow model. It leads with the number that matters: how fast the company would have to grow for today's price to make sense. Set the growth you expect on the dial and see what a share would be worth, side by side with the current price. Tap the Cash-flow model badge for a plain-language explainer using the company's real numbers.

Also in this update:

- Earnings breakdowns now show how the growth a company is delivering compares with what its price needs.
- The insider activity section has a clearer title, sits higher on the page, and notes when sales were pre-scheduled (10b5-1 plans).
- Small fixes and polish.
