## What is Magpie?

Magpie now speaks English, French, and Spanish, with a new experience designed for iPad.
• Choose your preferred language from Home or Settings
• Optimized iPad layouts for portrait and landscape
• Fully localized inventory, counts, reports, alerts, exports, and widgets
• Improved formatting for dates, numbers, currency, and units
• Additional accessibility and interface refinements


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.4.5 — 2026-08-14

This release makes iCloud sync and shared shops more reliable.
• Improved syncing between iPhone and iPad
• Better recovery after interruptions or network issues
• Clearer sync status and error messages
• More dependable Team invitations and two-way updates
• Improved shared products, photos, counts and shop organization  
iCloud sync across your own devices remains included on the Free plan. Team is only needed when sharing a shop with staff.

### 1.4.3 — 2026-08-12

Fixes for selecting and deleting several products at once.

• Fixed: selecting several products and deleting them could close the app.
  Deleting one at a time was never affected, and no data was lost when it
  happened.
• Select All is now available the moment you enter selection mode, instead of
  only appearing after you'd already picked a product by hand.
• The confirmation after a bulk delete now names the right number of products.
• If a delete can't be completed, Magpie now tells you instead of failing
  quietly.

### 1.4.2 — 2026-08-12

Your inventory now syncs on every plan.

iCloud sync is no longer part of a paid plan. Whatever plan you're on, your
products, counts and history sync across your iPhone, iPad and Mac — and are
safe if you replace your device or reinstall the app.

Print your own labels

Some of the things a shop counts most often are the ones that never scan —
loose goods, produce, anything made in-house, anything whose label has worn
off. Magpie can now print a label for them, so they scan like everything else.

• Print a sheet, not a page each. Pick your products, choose a size, print.
  Labels are laid out in a grid, and Magpie tells you how many fit a sheet and
  how much paper the job needs before you start.
• Sizes match labels you can buy. Each one names the equivalent stock — Avery
  5160 / 5260 / 8160, 22806, 5163 / 8163, 5164 / 8164 — so you can check it
  against the box in your drawer.
• Start part-way down a sheet. Already peeled a few labels off? Tell Magpie
  which position to begin at and it leaves the used ones blank.
• QR codes or barcodes. QR works for every product, including ones with no
  barcode of their own. Choose Code 128 instead and your labels will read on a
  handheld laser scanner too.
• Name and price on every label, whichever code you choose.
• Label a whole shop at once. Select as many products as you like from the
  Products list and print them in a single job.

A printed label works everywhere a barcode does — Scan & Adjust, counting,
searching. Which means a product that never had a barcode can now be counted
as fast as one that did.

What the plans cover now

Free: 50 products, iCloud sync, scanning, counts and low-stock alerts.
Pro: unlimited products, full reports, inventory valuation and exports.
Team: share one shop with your whole staff at a flat price.

Also in this release

• Push notification setup corrected for App Store builds.
• Fixed: a label printed for a product with no barcode of its own scanned but
  matched nothing.
• Fixed: printed sheets could be clipped at the bottom and sat slightly off the
  die-cut labels.
• Fixed: printed barcodes could look perfect and still not scan.
• Fixed: the print options screen could be cut off, with part of it unreachable
  by scrolling.

Scan them back like any other product

A printed label works everywhere a barcode does — Scan & Adjust, counting,
searching. Which means a product that never had a barcode can now be counted
as fast as one that did.

Also in this release

• Push notification setup corrected for App Store builds.
• Fixed: a label printed for a product with no barcode of its own scanned but
  matched nothing.
• Fixed: printed sheets could be clipped at the bottom and sat slightly off the
  die-cut labels.
• Fixed: printed barcodes could look perfect and still not scan.
• Fixed: the print options screen could be cut off, with part of it unreachable
  by scrolling.

### 1.3.0 — 2026-08-07

Counting, rebuilt.

Counting used to mean scanning an item, closing the camera, typing a number,
saving, then opening the camera again for the next one. Now the camera stays
open for the whole count. Scan a barcode, tap + or − to record what's on the
shelf, and scan the next item. The card swaps as you go. Nothing to save.

• Count the things that don't scan. Loose goods, produce, damaged labels — count
  them right in the list with the same big + and − buttons, or tap "None" for an
  empty shelf.
• Finish without leaving the camera. When everything's counted, update your
  stock right there.
• Pick up where you left off. One tap from Home puts you back in your open
  count.
• Undo. Updating your stock after a count can now be taken back for 30 seconds.
• Counts name themselves, so you can start one immediately.

Scan & Adjust, front and centre

The barcode button in the tab bar now opens the camera straight away. And when
you scan something Magpie doesn't know yet, adding it takes you directly to
adjusting its stock — no need to scan the same label twice.

Plainer words

Magpie now says what it means. "Variance" is "Difference". "Count session" is
just "Count". "Expected" is "Should be". "Apply counts to inventory" is "Update
my stock". In English, French and Spanish.

Calmer screens

Home and Reports have been cleared of anything that repeated itself, so each
screen leads with what needs doing. Reports opens with what needs attention
instead of a wall of numbers, and every card there now takes you to the screen
where you fix it. The scanner wears Magpie's colours, the launch screen is
quicker, and text scales properly if you use Larger Text.

Fixed

• Tapping a count — finished or unfinished — sometimes did nothing.
• The search and camera buttons beside a product's barcode opened History
  instead of doing their own job.
• Scanning the same barcode twice in one session did nothing until you closed
  and reopened the camera.
