What's New in Swig
1.2
July 9, 2026
Language - Swig in English: The app is now bilingual (EN/DE) and follows your iPhone's language. Switch it per app under Settings > Apps > Swig > Language. - Your Swig speaks up: The device's display text now follows the app language, set when you connect (firmware update required). - Notifications in your language: Push messages (invites, friend requests/accepts) now arrive in the recipient's app language. Device & Connection - Screen stays on: The Swig's display no longer turns off during a game. - More stable connection: Bluetooth keeps running in the background - the connection holds even if the app was briefly away. - Screen lock is no problem: If the host locks their phone (or gets a call), everything keeps running and catches up on missed steps when unlocked. - Live weigh: See the current weight live (in the edit screen) - unlocked only after calibrating. Never shows a negative value. Gameplay - Drink target right in the lobby: For Precision and Blackjack invites, you now see the target (e.g. "Target 50 ml") right in the waiting view. - Fairer Blackjack: Players who bust are only revealed after everyone has chosen "Hit or Stand" - no more advantage for going last. If the winner is already decided, it jumps straight to the result. - Blackjack invites now correctly show "Blackjack" instead of "Precision." - "End round" now takes you back to game selection instead of all the way to the start. - More compact date display in game history. - Polish in the live view: cleaner hints and consistent cancel dialogs. Achievements - Cleaner and fairer: Speed achievements now have sensible thresholds (Turbo → Speed-Demon → Sonic Boom → Speed of Light), sorted by difficulty within each category. - "The first step is the hardest" now unlocks on your first loss - previously unobtainable if you won your very first game. All achievements are now reachable. - "Loyal Hound" now unlocks for playing on 30 different days - with a progress bar. Play without a Swig - No Swig on hand? Play anyway! Start a regular online game and just type in the amounts instead of measuring. Lobby, friends, guests, live spectating, history, and stats all work as usual. (In Precision mode.) - While typing, the keyboard stays open and jumps automatically to the next value and player, with the drink target always in view. - Easy to spot in history: no-Swig games have their own icon on the card, a "Without Swig" filter, and a note on the win in the feed. Friends & Profiles - Profiles right in the app: Tap names in the activity feed or players in a game to open their profile. - Friend requests without an invite link: Send a request straight from someone's profile - and accept, decline, or block, all in one place. Tapping the notification opens the profile directly, too. - Requests can be withdrawn any time. Activity Feed - Tap a friend's win to open the full game history - with all players, results, and teams. - Remembers guests: Recently used guests are suggested during setup under "Recently used" - add them with the +, forget them with a long press. - Feed polish: subtler tap feedback on the cards. - Tidier feed: Duplicate "... are now friends" entries no longer appear. More - No more false "Action failed" message when closing a lobby. - Various stability and detail improvements.
