Some days you just need a small, sturdy friend who believes in you. Spud Bud puts positive potatoes on your Home Screen — little crocheted spuds holding hand-lettered signs with the words you need to hear. Build your own, grow a collection, and let the widget hand you a fresh one throughout the day. BUILD A BUD • Pick your veggie — choose a classic potato or branch out (hello, eggplant and avocado) • Choose the yarn: warm tans, soft creams, dusty blues, and more • Write the sign yourself, or shuffle for a little surprise • Pick a sign font and watch the live preview update as you type GROW A COLLECTION Every bud you make joins your collection, each holding its own message. Edit them, rearrange them, keep the crop growing. SHARE A BUD Turn any bud into a little note for someone else. Share it as a picture from the Builder or your collection, create a link back to the bud, or save the image to Photos. It shares only that bud — not your collection or subscription details. POTATOES, DELIVERED Choose a small, medium, or large widget, and it rotates through your collection all day — a quiet bit of encouragement every time you glance at your phone. The medium and large widgets have scroll buttons to flip to the next spud on demand. SET THE SCENE Give each bud a home: soft color washes, or cozy photo scenes — a sunny desk, a quiet beach, rolling hills at sunset. FREE AND PREMIUM Spud Bud is free to try: build up to two buds with the core yarns and wash backgrounds. Premium unlocks unlimited buds, the full yarn palette, the photo scenes, the avocado, and every future veggie — as a yearly or monthly subscription, each starting with a free week.

Additionally: - New premium scene: Hills. Green hills rolling down to the sea at sunset, with a soft knit blanket for your bud to sit on. - The suggested sign messages now name the veggie holding the sign, so your avocado is a "positive avocado". Switch veggies and a suggested message follows along; anything you typed yourself stays exactly as you wrote it. - Background colors now live together behind one tile at the start of the Background row. Tap it to pick Soft Sky, Lilac Dusk, Meadow Mist or None. New buds start on one of those colors, picked at random. A minor change that makes the realistic backgrounds easier to discover. - Right after your first bud joins the collection, Spud Bud offers to walk you through putting a widget up. - The "Widget" tab has moved to Settings, in a new "How to add the widget" entry, so the steps are there whenever you want another look. - Better error messages, like when a bud can’t be shared as a link, or have a too-long message for your bud's sign. ### 2026.08.1 — 2026-08-22 A fresh crop of improvements. • Share any bud as a picture from the Builder or your collection, or save it to Photos. • Use the new Settings tab to see the installed version and manage your Premium subscription. ### 2026.08.0 — 2026-08-18 No release notes. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
