When things go differently from the plan, the plan now goes along. Done later than planned? Tick off a hands-on step like mixing or balling late, and the steps after it move along, reminders included. The delay comes out of the waiting where the dough misses it least, the fridge first in a cold ferment, so the bake usually stays where it was. If the waiting cannot give that much, the plan tells you when you bake now. Finished on time and only ticked off late? “It was done on time” takes it back. When a step is past its time, the timeline says so at the very top, under “Behind the plan”. Missed the start? “Start again from now” rebuilds a plan you have not started yet from now on, inside your free times, and shows you what changes before you use it. If your bake time no longer works, it suggests the next one that does. Fixed: after ticking steps off, the plan could say the dough was ahead or behind when it was right on track. And applying a suggestion added a second plan instead of replacing the old one and its reminders.

Maintenance update. Nothing in the app itself has changed.

A new look, the same app. Warmer colours, a new typeface for headings and calmer cards. A chosen option now has a red outline instead of a red fill, and the plan says its dates in words. New in the plan's summary: a three-day overview of when your hands are needed, when the dough rests warm or cold, and the hours you are free. Reminders now take you to their step: tap one and your plan's timeline opens right there, with the step marked for a moment. While a dough is going, the app opens straight on its timeline, at the step that is due. Fixed: the free hours set in Settings now reach a plan already in progress, and the first step names them. And ‘Mark as done’ on a reminder now checks the step off in your plan.

Yeast is now split by step too: when it goes into both the poolish and the main dough, the ingredient list and the shared plan show how much goes where, just like the water. In the timeline, steps you work on stand out, waiting times step back and carry an hourglass, and the coloured edge now only shows where a step stands. Cold ferment for modern Neapolitan: Pizza Wizard now uses considerably more yeast here. It used to be too little, and the dough could rise too weakly. When part of the yeast goes into the main dough, the “Mix & Knead” step now also tells you how to add it. If your plan doesn’t fit your free hours, Pizza Wizard now shows more precisely what helps. New: a suggestion to keep a little more time free on certain days, such as “Friday from 13:00 and Saturday from 14:30”, so your chosen time still works. If a suggestion moves the bake time, it now tells you where to. The closest time that works names the exact shift, such as “2 hrs, 30 min later”, instead of rounded hours. And “Ignore my availability” now keeps your chosen time.

You can now set the room and fridge temperature while creating a plan: on the last step, “Fine Tune”, under “Temperatures”. They apply to that plan only; your defaults stay in Settings. A fridge temperature of 0 °C is now also kept when the app restarts. If a poolish or levain has to go into the fridge, the plan now puts that step within your free hours and reminds you of it. A new “Privacy Policy” entry in Settings takes you straight to Pizza Wizard’s privacy policy. It now also covers the crash reports and usage statistics that Apple provides to us with your consent. The app itself still transmits no data.

Pizza Wizard now takes your flour into account. Its strength (the W value) decides how long the dough can mature: ‘Ingredients’ shows how much fermentation the flour holds at 20 °C and how much your plan gives it, and the plan warns when a weak flour runs far too long or a strong one gets too little time to relax. Hydration is now judged against the style and the flour instead of a fixed scale. Wholemeal flour ferments faster and gets less yeast, and a strong flour is kneaded longer by machine, with the extra heat counted into the water temperature. ‘Timeline’ is clearer: every step is a card of its own, with the time and what happens side by side and the text across the full width of the screen. And in Settings you can now set direct or poolish as your usual dough method. Pizza Wizard now works out the water temperature for your plan: for the poolish or levain and for the dough, taking into account whether the poolish comes straight from the fridge. ‘Ingredients’ and ‘Timeline’ show it. ‘Timeline’ is now grouped by day, with the time first and the hands-on steps set apart from the waiting. The fermentation now follows the dough's own temperature: it takes hours to cool down in the fridge and to warm up again, and the yeast is worked out for that.

In ‘Timeline’, long step titles and notes now wrap onto the next line instead of being cut off with ‘…’.

Planning further ahead: with ‘Weekdays + Weekend’ and ‘Morning + Evening’, later days now follow your schedule instead of taking the first day’s hours. The launch screen now shows the pizza oven edge to edge.
