What's New in Recess
1.1.0
August 27, 2026
A new look, three kinds of questions, and misses that actually teach you something. A fresh coat of paper. Every screen has been redrawn. Warmer paper, cleaner margins, and a study worksheet that finally looks like one. Three question types. Your decks now generate multiple choice, true or false, and fill in the blank, so you are recalling the material instead of just recognizing it. Every deck has its own toggles, so you decide what shows up at the gate. Miss one, learn why. Wrong answers on term and concept questions now show the definition and a worked example, not just a one line correction. Bring your Quizlet sets. A new walkthrough shows you exactly how to get a set out of Quizlet and into Recess from your computer. Jump straight into a class. Tap any class on Study to see just that class's decks and quizzes. Study first, then scroll. You earned it.
