## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.39 — 2026-08-18

This update introduces Puzzle Radar: a way to find, offer, and match puzzles with other collectors.

Puzzle Radar

Open Puzzle Radar from Community for a clear view of what you’re looking for, what you’re offering, and your matches.

You can:





List puzzles you want from your wishlist



Offer a puzzle for sale, trade, or giveaway



See matches when someone wants what you offer — or offers what you want



Chat directly with a match



Choose who can see your listings: groups, followers, or both

Catalog Notifications

False “new puzzles added” notifications have been stopped. You can still turn catalog notifications on or off in Settings.

### 1.38 — 2026-07-21

Version 1.38 — Profile Photo & EAN Linking

This update makes it easier to set your profile photo and to link EAN codes to catalog puzzles when scanning.

Profile Photo

In Settings, when you tap the pencil to edit your username, you can now also select your profile photo.

You can:





Take a photo with the camera



Choose a photo from your library

The edit screen uses the same orange style as the rest of the app.

EAN Linking When Scanning

If a barcode doesn’t match, you can link an EAN code and article number directly.

While linking you can:





Use the scanned EAN (prefilled)



Enter an article number



Pick the correct puzzle from the same catalog as + catalog

The link is saved so the next scan finds that puzzle immediately.

If the puzzle isn’t in the scan database yet, a stub is created (with catalog details when available) so scanning still works.

Leaving the link screen opens the catalog again — just like before. Feedback for submitting EAN codes in Settings remains available.

### 1.37 — 2026-05-26

Version 1.37 — Puzzle Sessions

This update introduces Puzzle Sessions: a focused full-screen mode designed for active puzzling.

Puzzle Sessions

Start a Puzzle Session on an active puzzle for a clean, distraction-free view while you puzzle.

During a session you can:

* Pause or resume your puzzle
* Quickly add +25 or +50 pieces to your progress
* Mark edges as completed with automatic progress updates
* Set an optional 30 or 60 minute session goal with haptic feedback when reached
* Keep your screen awake while puzzling

The session view also shows:

* Your puzzle image
* Effective puzzle time (for timer-based puzzles)
* Current progress
* Edge completion status

Leaving a session only closes the session screen — your puzzle remains active in the background.

You can launch Puzzle Sessions from the puzzle detail page, active puzzle list swipe actions, and other active puzzle management screens.

### 1.36 — 2026-05-18

Version 1.36 — Customize your statistics & improved scanning

This update makes the app more flexible and fixes scanning for puzzles with multiple barcodes.

Modular Statistics Page Your statistics screen is now built from widgets you can arrange yourself:

Turn statistics on or off and drag them into the order you prefer
New statistics widgets added (categories, progress, ratings, monthly activity, and more)
The familiar look stays, with a cleaner and more polished layout
Empty categories hide automatically so you only see what’s relevant

Improved EAN Scanning Some puzzles have more than one barcode The app now supports that:

A second EAN code (ean2) can be stored for the same puzzle
Scanning works whether you scan the primary or secondary barcode
Fixes cases where a valid puzzle wasn’t found because only one code was recognized

### 1.35 — 2026-05-06

Following recent improvements, this update focuses on refining the search and user experience, along with clearer in-app feedback.

Improved Search & Following Experience
Finding and following users is now more reliable and intuitive:

* Searching via the keyboard (Enter) now works as expected
* You’ll see a clear message when no users are found
* Search results now include profile photos for better recognition
* Fixed an issue where profiles incorrectly showed “Unfollow”

New Privacy Settings
More control over your visibility in the app:

* Hide your profile photo
* Hide your profile from search results

Improved Scanner Experience
The scanner has been enhanced with better guidance:

* Added a new info button explaining EAN codes and how to use the catalog
* Clearer message when an EAN code is not found
    → This helps users understand that a puzzle may still exist even if the code isn’t recognized

New: App Shortcuts
Faster access to key features directly from your device:

* Open the scanner instantly (e.g. via the Action Button)
* Quickly complete your active puzzle
* Pause or resume your current puzzle

User Data & Performance Improvements

* Fixed an issue where only a limited number of users were loaded in search results
* Resolved the “Unknown user” issue (e.g. with Apple login)
    → These users can now be properly found and followed
