So i got an apple watch for christmas today and its great! I am an avid reddit user so i looked up reddit and found nano. It is at times limited cause you cant comment, have favorites, etc. but nano pro is a pay what you want system starting at 1.99. But i can scroll on reddit in class without my teachers knowing! Thank you Nano team for keeping this up even after the api changes! I am considering buying nanopro!

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.4 — 2022-07-05

Full support for Apple Watch Series 7

That means taking full advantage of the massive new display, as well as support for the new keyboard. 

(Don't worry, if you have an Apple Watch Series 6 or lower, you'll continue to be able to use FlickType)

### 1.3.1 — 2019-08-09

This update fixes a bug where no one could log in (sorry about that!)

It also adds a great new FlickType keyboard, try it out!

Key features of the new keyboard:
- Added a super-smart spacebar. This is no ordinary spacebar -- miss it by a bit, and it will still work. Hit it on accident, and it will ignore you!
- Added a delete key.
- To change the current suggestion, use the Digital Crown.
- To dismiss the keyboard, flick down -- then use the crown to move the cursor as usual.

The FlickType keyboard is developed by Kosta Eleftheriou, so huge thanks to him!

### 1.3 — 2019-02-28

Thanks for using Nano!
