September 29, 2026
Make a round your own. • Type your own theme. On the Dials, tap "+ Your own" to ask for something specific, like Nordic or Mexican. • Leave any dial open. Every dial now has an "Any" option, so a round ignores that dimension instead of sticking to your usual. • Short reads only. A new checkbox on the Match screen keeps every round to books under 150 pages.
