What's New in Tarsier

2.0.3

September 26, 2026

Thank you for using Tarsier! This 2.0.3 update makes conversations easier to follow and brings bug fixes. New • Conversations: every "Complete the chat" card now sets the scene, tells you what you want to say, and shows everyone who is talking. • Word audio: a new word plays its audio as soon as its card appears. • Report a card: tap the flag on any answer and tick what's wrong to get a ready-to-send email. • Grammar sheets: each one fits on one screen and closes with a swipe down. • Two new words: Family Dinner teaches sige (okay), and Making Plans teaches pupunta (will go). • Edit Profile: one Save Changes button for everything, including your @handle. Fixes • Fixed sound effects staying silent with the Sound Effects slider turned up. • Fixed word hints covering the word they explain. • Fixed conversation cards that ran out of order, dropped a line, or marked the right reply as wrong. • Fixed buttons that didn't press down like the rest of the app, and greyed-out buttons that looked see-through. • Fixed usernames and display names that got past the profanity filter by swapping letters or numbers.

Response from developer

Thank you for the review, and sorry that lesson gave you trouble. I have not managed to reproduce it on my end yet, so if you get a moment, email me at support@tarsierlearn.com. Even just which lesson it was would help me track it down. There is a big update on the way too, which may well sort it. Gathrean, solo dev
