What's New in Try Bayan
2.0.0
October 29, 2026
A better Ask Bayan, and a steadier app underneath it. • Ask Bayan quotes the poems themselves: ask for a poet on a theme and it searches that poet's verses, and every poem card opens the poem. • Answers in Persian stay in Persian, and a question it cannot place gets a search rather than a shrug. • Widgets turn to the new poem at midnight, on time. • Search is more forgiving of how a word is spelled, and six poems gained their missing English translations. • If your reading data is ever damaged, Bayan now recovers it instead of starting over.
