What's New in NOVA
1.0.7
June 13, 2026
Boot Music search: pull custom NOVA startup songs straight from YouTube inside the app, with a start-time picker so you can land on the chorus instead of the intro. Travel WiFi Setup over Bluetooth: take NOVA somewhere new and connect her to the local WiFi from your phone — no keyboard required. Family profiles: Parental sub-tab now refreshes immediately when you switch from a minor to an adult profile. Visual polish: text contrast fixed across the Settings tab so the Boot Music and Travel WiFi sections are easy to read. Reliability: smoother profile switching, better connection recovery, and several stability fixes under the hood.
