What's New in Morse Coach
1.0.2
September 3, 2026
Faster navigation. Opening a drill, backing out of one, and switching tabs are immediate now. Earlier versions set up audio and haptics for every drill in the catalog each time a screen appeared, which could stall the app for several seconds at a time. That setup now happens only for the drill you actually open. Also in this release: • The paywall shows the characters you have genuinely earned, and now handles family approval requests, restores already in progress, and connection errors clearly. • Badge and streak awards are corrected in several cases. • Flashlight Sender and Light Reader release the camera and torch reliably when you leave the screen, and say so plainly if the camera cannot start. • The translator tells you when a message contains nothing it can send. • VoiceOver labels and actions added across the app.
