Beat notes now keep playing while you move around the app, so you can listen and keep scrolling at the same time. You can also search for the artists you like and star them, and the inbox got a full redesign. == What's new == • Beat note player: A player now sits above the tab bar while a note is playing, so you can keep scrolling without losing the beat. Tap it to jump straight back to the post. • Favorite people: Search for the artists you like, open their profile, and star them so they stay one tap away. • Top of the month and the year: The feed now sorts by Top this month and Top this year as well. • A new inbox: The inbox got a full redesign, so what happened while you were away is easier to take in. • Help & learn: A new channel for asking the things you are stuck on and passing on what you know. == Improvements == • My Hive: The Profile tab is now called My Hive. • Smoother feed: Performance work underneath the feed, so scrolling holds up better. • Reporting a post: Reporting now lets you pick the reasons that apply, so our team knows what to look at. == Fixes == • Beat notes: Recording again after tapping Clear now works instead of doing nothing. • Android: The app no longer kept restarting while the dark app icon was being set.

Dark mode is here. You can now sort the feed to see what is trending or the best posts of the week, and the channels were reworked so every post has a clear home. Events on Beathive can also start showing up on Google. == What's new == • Dark mode: Beathive now comes in dark and follows your phone's setting by default. Prefer one look? Pick Light or Dark under Appearance. • New channels: General is gone, and four channels with a clear purpose take its place. Say hi in Introductions, share your beats as voice notes in Drop a beat, find collabs and meetups in Looking for, and tell us what you think of the app in About Beathive. • Sort the feed: Switch between New, Trending and Top this week. Beathive remembers your pick. • Organizers: Get found on Google. Search engines can now pick up your event pages, so people can find your event through a search. It can take a while before Google lists them. == Improvements == • Full rework of the feed • Channel picker: Every channel now says what it is for, and Manage sits at the top, so you can follow a new channel without leaving the picker. • The feed bar: The channel you are reading now sits top left, with sorting and a new post button on the right. • Beat notes: A small buzz when you start or stop a recording and when you play or pause a note, plus a spinner while a note loads. • Feed tab: The Feed tab now shows the Beathive logo. • Smoother all round: Small performance improvements across the app. == Fixes == • Beat notes on Android: Notes recorded on some Android phones now show their waveform instead of a flat line.

Two new ways to say something in the feed: record a voice note up to 90 seconds, or ask a question and let everyone vote on it. Beathive can now tell you the moment a new event goes up, and @mentions and links work everywhere people write, not just in posts. == What's new == • Voice notes: Record up to 90 seconds straight into a post or a comment, the length of a battle round. It is tuned for beatboxing, so the hats and the snares survive the recording instead of going dull. Record on iPhone and Android, listen anywhere. • Polls: Ask a question in a post or a comment and let people vote on it. Pick one answer or allow several, choose how long it runs, and the results stay hidden until you have voted yourself. • Share a post: Turn any post or comment into an image and send it wherever you want. • New events, as they go up: A new notification tells you when an event appears on Beathive. Switch it on or off with the rest of them under Notifications. • Wildcard competitions: A new category for the competitions that fit nowhere else, with a link out to wherever the details live. • Mention anyone, anywhere: Type @ in your bio or in an event description, not just in the feed. • Links that actually open: Any link written in a post, a comment, a bio or an event description is now tappable. • More on your profile: YouTube, Discord, a phone number and an email address can now sit alongside the rest of your links. • Past events in a category: Scroll past what is coming up to see what already happened there. • Organizers: Stream your event. Add the link where the event is being streamed, and the people following it hear about it when it goes live. • Edit typo of a posted text or comment. You only have a window of 1 hour to do so. == Improvements == • Smoother feed: The feed was reworked underneath, so scrolling should feel a little smoother than before. • Free entry and at the door: Clearer wording on an event that is free to get into or paid on the night, so you know what to expect before you turn up. • Readable either way: The explanation for free entry and at the door no longer hides behind a disabled button. • New GIF library: GIFs now come from KLIPY, with a tidier picker. == Fixes == • Notifications from posts: Everyone following a channel now gets the post notification they signed up for. • Muted on Android: A notification no longer muted itself. • Emails: Some mails were not reaching people in a few edge cases. • Resizing on web: Beathive no longer errors out when the browser window changes size. • Featured events: The featured rail no longer races through every event at once. • Ads: Fixed ads that rendered glitchy. • Various small backend fixes.

The feature board is here: see what is planned, what is being built and what has already shipped, and vote on what you want next. Announcements from Beathive now stay pinned at the top of your feed. == What's new == • Feature board: See what is planned, what is being built and what has already shipped, vote the ideas you want up or down, and send in your own from the same screen. Known bugs sit there too, so you can check before reporting one. • Introducing new channels: Releases & General. • Pinned announcements: Anything important from Beathive now stays at the top of your feed instead of scrolling out of sight. • Ads settings: A new Ads row in Settings reopens the consent form, so you can change or withdraw personalized ads at any time. == Improvements == • Reply box: Your text now stops short of the character count and the send button instead of sliding underneath them. == Fixes == • Spotify links: An artist's Spotify link now saves properly in your social links, and the field names what it read, artist, album, playlist or track. • Keyboard on Android: The reply box no longer hides behind the keyboard while you write a comment. • Sheet buttons: A button at the bottom of a sheet now rides up with the keyboard instead of sitting behind it. Your feedback means a lot to us and helps shape Beathive. You can always reach out through the app. If you're enjoying the experience, we'd love it if you left us a rating and review.

Beathive is out on Android, so the whole community is finally in one place. The feed lost its language barrier too: anything written in a language you do not read gets a translate line under it, and your own phone does the translating. Organizers can now say entry is free or paid at the door, without setting up tickets at all. == What's new == • Beathive on Android: The app is out on Android, with everything the iPhone version does. Same events, same tickets, same feed. • Translate as you read: A post, reply or event description written in another language gets a See translation line under it. Tap it and the text switches, tap See original to go back. Your phone does the translating itself, so nothing you read is sent anywhere and it keeps working offline. It only appears where your device can do the work. • Organizers: Three more ways in. Next to Beathive tickets and an external link, an event can now be free entry with no limit, pay at the door, or carry no ticket info at all. == Improvements == • Post a photo on its own: A post no longer needs any words. A picture, a GIF or an event is a post by itself. • Events without a photo: A proper Beathive tile now stands in for a missing event photo, on the card, in the grid and on the event page. • The ticketing and payout system had a large rework underneath, so sales, refunds and payouts land more reliably. • Updated FAQ: New answers on translating posts, and on how people get into an event. • Small design improvements across the app

Events you hold a ticket for now have a rail of their own on the Events tab, and your ticket is one tap away from any event page. Your ticket list says plainly what is coming up, what was refunded and what is off. And liking an event is a choice again: buying a ticket no longer does it for you. == What's new == • Attending: Every event you hold a ticket for, in a rail of its own on the Events tab with the full list behind it. Soonest first, and an event drops off once it is over. • Organizers: Introducing new event categories: National championships, Online battles and training. • Introducing new channels: Grand Beatbox Battle & World championship. • Organizers: Our share is now 5%. Beathive takes 5% of what is left after payment processing, and that stays the only thing we charge. No booking fee bolted onto your ticket price, no fixed amount per ticket sold, no monthly plan, so a cheap ticket is never eaten by a flat fee the way it is elsewhere. • Sharing card: Share the event you like or want to promote to Instagram, TikTok, Whatsapp, Facebook, Messages,... any place you like and want to. == Improvements == • Liked is yours again: Buying a ticket no longer adds the event to your liked ones. Attending covers that now. • Your ticket from the event page: An event you hold a ticket for shows a My Tickets button, so you do not have to go looking in the Tickets tab. • Clearer ticket list: A row says Refunded or Cancelled when that is what happened. • Organizers: Creating or editing an event can no longer be swiped away by accident, so a half-filled form and its photos survive a stray gesture. • Organizers: Dates that make sense. A start or end time in the past comes back with a plain message instead of a silent failure. • Organizers: Becoming an organizer became much easier and much more clear with a redesigned flow. • Order history and release notes: Tidier rows in both, with the same status marks the rest of the app uses. • Small UI improvements to the event creation sheet. • Reworked the Beathive payment system to be more reliable. • Updated the FAQ with all countries we support as ticketing platform. External ticketing is available for every organizer worldwide. == Fixes == • Reply previews: A post whose repliers have no profile picture shows their initials under it, instead of an empty row of faces.

Organizers keep more of every ticket now that our cut drops to 4%, and an event can show a full gallery instead of a single image. You can also mention people in the feed, and every release now lands in the app so you can see exactly what changed. == Whats new == • Organizers: A smaller cut. Our share of every paid ticket drops from 10% to 4%, so more of the ticket price lands in your payout. • Organizers: Up to 10 photos per event. Add them in the order you want, at the 16:9 size the event page is built for, plus a square thumbnail for cards, lists and ticket emails. • Event photos: Swipe through the whole gallery on the event page, and tap any photo to open it full screen. • Mentions: Type @ in a post or a reply to bring someone in. They get a notification, so the conversation reaches them. • Release notes: Every release available to read from Help on your profile.
