## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.8.1 — 2026-08-17

Capitals Mode — Six modes now. Match countries to their capitals. You knew Paris. You did not know Bratislava. That is the mode.

This Week — A new leaderboard that wipes every Monday. The all-time board has that one player from last year you are never catching. This one starts from zero. Seven days, no excuses.

Two New Achievements — Capital Cadet and Globetrotter. One is polite about it. The other wants 60 capitals with no hesitation.

Now Actually Built For iPad — The layout no longer assumes your screen is four inches wide. Cards have stopped stretching into banners and the grid no longer huddles at the top of the display avoiding eye contact with the other two thirds.

Picking A Mode — The six modes moved into a dropdown, because six names across one row had turned into "Ha…". It also tells you which mode is next and what it takes.

Also — Some achievement descriptions had been quietly lying about how to unlock things. Long capital names have stopped shrinking to half the size of their neighbours, and "Washington, D.C." no longer puts the comma at the start of the next line.

### 1.7.1 — 2026-02-11

Inverse Mode — The grid is now mostly correct. Find the liar. Trust issues: the game. Spot 10 in a row and earn the Bug Hunter achievement.
Summary Screen — After you lose, the game now helpfully shows you the correct answer. You know, the obvious one. The one that was RIGHT THERE.
Bug Fixes — Fixed "some logics." Removed a variable that was just vibing. Fixed a watchOS bug. The watch knows what it did.

### 1.6.10 — 2026-01-15

Compatibility requirement reduced to iOS 17.5.

We've added a little popup that politely asks for a rating after you've killed enough time. Think of it as the app tapping you on the shoulder and whispering: "Hey, you've been here a while... wanna tell the world about us?"
Don't worry, it only shows up after you've proven your dedication through rounds played and achievements unlocked. We figured if you're still here, you might actually like us.

### 1.6.8 — 2026-01-08

No release notes.
