### 2.2.0 — 2015-12-22

We added (strictly optional) push notifications, so you'll know when I've added new parts! Also... if you haven't seen them yet, there are NEW HOLIDAY PARTS! We also fixed a wee bug that could crashed the app when placing photos from your albums.

### 2.1.0 — 2015-11-11

iPad Pro Support

### 2.0.2 — 2015-10-10

=== Find a tutorial of the app on YouTube by searching for "Monster Maker 2.0 Demo" ===

BIG NEWS: You can now save Monsters for later editing. They're saved in the top left corner. You can also share them with other app users via Air Drop.

With Version 2.0 the Monster Maker is now freemium. But not to worry: All existing users automatically keep full, ad-free premium access forever. If you're a new user, you get over 100 free parts and full functionality. You just get some ads while saving or exporting your Monster, and the opportunity to buy premium Monster parts.

Oh, and I've completely redrawn the interface buttons and tabs. Just because.

2.0.2 Squishes three bugs: the one where the app crashes when you delete a saved monster, and the one where you cannot scroll through your monsters on iPhone 6/6+/6s/6s+ and now also the bug which sometimes prevented update installs from 1.5.3 to keep all previous parts.
