## What is Roomie?

Roomie is where conversations happen out loud.

Drop into a live audio room, chat in public rooms, DM your people, or ask an expert a question - all in one app.

LIVE AUDIO ROOMS
Open a room and start talking. No scheduling, no setup. Listeners can raise a hand to ask for the mic, and hosts can promote anyone to speaker, bring the
whole room up at once, or hand the floor to someone new. Join to speak, or just listen in.

PUBLIC AND PRIVATE CHAT ROOMS
Build a room around anything: a city, a hobby, a project, a group of friends.
Public rooms are discoverable by everyone in the community. 
Private rooms are invite-only, so add members by username or send an invite by email.

DIRECT MESSAGES
Private one-to-one conversations with anyone you meet in a room.

LIVE POLLS
Ask the room a question and watch the results come in as people vote.

VOICE NOTES, PHOTOS AND GIFS
Say it out loud with a voice message, share a photo, or drop the perfect GIF from the built-in picker.

EXPERT Q&A ROOMS
Ask a host a question in a private space and get an answer back in their own voice. Only you and the host ever see your question, and you can ask
anonymously.

FIND YOUR PEOPLE
See who's active right now and discover members near you on the map.

SAFETY FIRST
Report or block anyone, any time. Rooms are moderated, and you leave whenever you want.

Roomie is free to join, and you can look around as a guest before you sign up.
Come for one conversation, stay for the room.


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.1.15 — 2026-08-28

UI tweaks

### 1.1.14 — 2026-08-26

A clearer tab bar.
Bug Hunt stays on topic. Reports there are text and screenshots only.

### 1.1.13 — 2026-08-25

- New: Pin a message — hold any message in a room you host and pin it to the top, so nobody misses it. Tap the banner to jump to the original, and one tap takes it down.
- New: Give a new room its own photo while you're creating it, instead of adding it afterwards.
- Improved: Move between Rooms, Q&A and audio with a swipe — the tabs follow along.
- Improved: A fresh look throughout — from the welcome screen and the tab bar to chat, polls and room info.
- Improved: Creating a room is now a step-by-step wizard, so you settle the name, type and who can join one decision at a time.
- Improved: Audio call cards show the host's description under the room name, so you know what a call is about before you join.
- Fixed: Anyone in a voting room never showed up as online.
- Fixed: A room photo with a transparent background no longer arrives on the room card sitting inside a solid square.

### 1.1.12 — 2026-08-24

- New: Room hosts can remove someone from a room they run — tap their name in the chat, then "Remove from room".
- New: Someone you've removed can't rejoin, and the room no longer appears in their list.
- New: Hosts can delete any message posted in their room, so unwanted content comes down straight away.
- New: Restore access whenever you want — everyone you've removed is listed in the room info screen, one tap to let them back in.
- Fixed: If someone joined your audio room while your screen was locked or you were in another app, they now appear in the room as soon as you're back — and you'll hear them.

### 1.1.11 — 2026-08-20

Rooms, redesigned — colour now means something: green for someone in
the room, red for a live call, blue for waiting messages. Everything
else is quiet greyscale.

New room cards with depth that follows how active a room is. A new
flat tab bar matching Android. Lists scroll cleanly to the last item.
