What's New in Open Step
1.5.14
August 25, 2026
A calmer start and more of the app before you pay. • The app now opens with a short animation instead of a blank screen, and starts about a second and a half faster. • The first questions are shorter, and nothing in them is compulsory. • The AI companion is free for your first ten messages, with suggestions to start from when you don't know what to say. • Exercises, check-ins and breathing stay open — you can try the app properly before deciding about a subscription. • Your personal ERP report is available as a one-time add-on, and it is optional: your subscription does not depend on it. • Fixes: the app no longer crashes on launch for some users, the theme of your plan is never left unset, and returning during a trial no longer loses your place.
