Hope you’re doing well since our last update!

This ones a doozy. We’re calling it - “Bob’s update”, after a review left by a gentleman (probably) with the handle “Bob is unhappy”. A befitting appellation, as they were clearly uh ... unhappy with our work and requested menus for multiple dates. Sorry Bob, it just took a wee bit o’ time to do things the right way. If you, dear reader, like the changes below, you have Bob (and so many others that requested them) to thank. While we’ve taken great efforts to test every aspect of this update, we’re not infallible. Be like Bob and let us know if we’re missing something you want to see. If you encounter any issues or have comments about the app, please iMessage or email us at guide@rcpd.msu.edu. If you have dietary concerns, please contact a dining hall manager within munch or reach out to dietitians@rhs.msu.edu.

- Tap a date or simply swipe left/right on a menu to advance to an adjacent date. Obviously, this works with VoiceOver & Switch Control just as quick. If you’ve favorited dishes, dates will have a little green indicator when a favorite is available. You may see menus for 3 to 10 days ahead. We use past menu data to prevent showing a menu that is likely to drastically change.
- Now, we don’t intend to leave you with thousand of dishes to sift through across multiple menus. Nope, that’s best left to munch’s creators … For you, we’re introducing the ability to search menus. You don’t need to know dish names. Craving something with pasta in it? Search for pasta and we’ll figure out which dishes have any kind of pasta in ‘em! Want to only see soups with garlic in 'em, type in “soups garlic” and just swipe, swipe, swipe through. There’s a lot more we’re working on with search, so do let us know if you have a specific way you’d like to find food!
- Note that menus are subject to change. If you browse menus often, and an item that was presented to you has been taken off the menu, we now display them in a list atop the current day’s menu. Note that, this will only show IF menu items for the current day were 86’d.
- This update ends support for iOS 12. Apologies for the inconvenience! If your only device can't update past iOS 12, do let us know and we'd be happy to re-consider this change.
- Added context menus and previews for menu items. Simply long press any dish if you don’t want to click through (useful during searches! )
- Custom VoiceOver rotors for meals and dates to instantly jump to menus.
- If you speak computer, we now use a lot of SwiftUI and so while the app may look the same to you, it is literally written in another language ,well, dialect perhaps… you get the idea.
- In some cases, if you were viewing a dish’s nutrition info, then switched to the settings tab and changed your allergens, the dish’s allergens warning would not update. This is now fixed. Thank you Mikayla!
- Fixed timetable countdown showing an incorrect hour count if you swipe up and force quit on all your apps. You do know that swiping apps like that just kills your battery faster, right? We’re not kidding.
- Fixed interface size errors on iPads.
- Fixed notification settings from settings app/notifications not working right

We’re sorry this update took a while if you requested any of the above features.
