version 7.8.0
posted on 2020-02-06
After every major release, we do lots of big and small updates that bump the version number. It's all fun and games when you're at 7.1 and 7.2, but as you get to 7.8 you just know you're going to have to either do the weird 7.10 thing, or break your convention and go for 7.9.9.9.9.1 to avoid going to 8. This release gets us one closer to that, and also fixes a whole bunch of weird and wonderful bugs including Google Assistant not working. Release numbers are just plain weird, let's be honest.
version 7.7.0
posted on 2020-01-23
This release introduces some new discover section features, such as podcast collections. This is a little bit of a tease because you won't immediately get new ones but when you do we think you'll like them.
We also fixed some bugs you nice people reported to us and improved a few things here and there.

- Performance improvements and bug fixes, including SD card issues and Up Next ordering.
version 7.5.3
posted on 2019-10-14
- Dark Mode support! You asked for it, we delivered! Android 10 users rejoice, Android 9 users don't lose hope a lot of Samsung and other phones support this too. Android 5 users I don't know what to tell you except you do you. Stay strong.

version 7.0.5
posted on 2019-05-23
Thanks to all our beta testers who helped us with this release, it contains a lot of the more nuanced fixes that aren't always easy to find. Starting with the biggest one we've been working on: crashes on Motorola phones. There's also fixes for sync, stats, video playback, image loading, search, Up Next, missing images/buttons, streaming and even downloading.
More fixes than you can shake the proverbial stick at (who does that anyway?!) and don't worry we're working on new features as well :)
