PicusGO

Every change in this version works for nature: the games teach recycling and how to recognise leaves, and scans and reports work even where there is no signal. EIT rewards knowledge, not just playing. Four games that teach about nature Owl's Challenge and Owl's Comparison are now joined by Forest Flight and Hedgehog Run in the Valley of Games. Each game has its own daily leaderboard. The daily reward comes with EcoSchool Picus flies between dry trees and collects acorns, and the route of the day is the same for everyone. The top five of the day share a reward in EIT, but only with a passed EcoSchool: a short lesson with questions about nature. Put the waste in the right bin The hedgehog runs along a forest track and you pick the right bin for every piece of waste before time runs out. There are 40 kinds of waste on the track. You earn EIT only for correct recycling. Every kind you sort correctly for the first time goes into the Waste atlas. Knowing nature earns EIT In Owl's Challenge you find the right leaf before time runs out, and in Owl's Comparison you estimate how big something really is. Correct answers earn the reward, and both games now have a daily leaderboard. Invite friends to learn with you You can now challenge your friends to a game. At the end of a game, tap Challenge! and send the invite. Friends can play even without the app, so more people learn about recycling and nature. Show others your trees and reports When you share a tree, a report or a post, you pick an Instagram story, WhatsApp or another app right away. Friends see the picture and description, and anyone with PicusGO opens it straight in the app. The same goes for inviting a friend with your code. Forests often have no signal From now on, with a weak connection or none at all, go ahead with everything: scan, report, plant, record a story. It all sends by itself once you are connected, and you can see everything in Waiting to send. You choose how photos are sent Scan photos are sent only on Wi-Fi by default. In App settings you can allow mobile data too, and Send now sends them right away. The icon follows the seasons Like the trees, the PicusGO icon changes with the season. A short system message announces the change. New boost rules Boosts are simpler now: rank and monthly missions no longer increase EIT rewards. Friendships now give up to 30% per slot, up to 300% in total. Your rank stays visible in My progress. Smaller changes In the Rainforest, each name shows how many weeks are left until the tree and since when the person has been in the Oasis. When something fails on the server, the message is clearer.
