What's New in Shortfall

1.0.3

September 28, 2026

Sharper, more honest numbers: • Check and correct any number Shortfall read from your contract — the verdict updates instantly. • The top-line total now counts only what's above typical. A fee below typical no longer hides one above it. • If a scan is too blurry to read, Shortfall says so and lets you rescan or enter the numbers — no empty "all clear". • GAP and service-contract checks measure from a fair dealer price, so a higher charge always shows a bigger gap. • Better state detection near borders (Kansas City, West Virginia) and sturdier reading of fee labels. • Cancel a scan while it's reading; unlock purchases now pick up right where you left off. • VoiceOver reads every verdict card with its rating, text scales with Dynamic Type, and Reduce Motion is respected.
