• New onboarding placement check. Tell us you already know the basics and take a short live test... your best stage skips you past the levels you can already hear, up to 19 of them... "Where should you start?" actually shapes your home screen. • Push notifications now reach your phone. Duel challenges, accepts, turns and results show up as a notification, not only by email. The Duels tab also wears a badge - red for invitations, amber for your move. • Playing a Duel now counts toward your daily streak. • Full accessibility pass. Screen-reader labels across exercises, Duels and Settings; answer options speak their full name; every exercise reads its result out loud. Spoken labels follow your device language. • New Descending Intervals levels. • Free Practice can now drill chord inversions. • Compact two-column answer buttons; less repetition via shuffled bag. • Fixes: reminders no longer nag on practiced days; Settings back button; "Finish Game" no longer stuck; Jazz Voicings audio; landscape crash.

Duels & Sharing • 1v1 Duels: challenge any other player to a head-to-head ear training match. Both get the same 10 questions in your chosen theme, fastest accurate player wins. Six themes - Intervals, Chords, Scales, Cadences, Chord Progressions, and Mixed. Customize any theme: pick exactly which items to test on, or leave it wide open. • Async play: the challengee has 7 days to accept, then both players have 48 hours to play. Push notifications on every step - challenge received, accepted, declined, completed - and a nudge when your opponent has played their half. Rematch in one tap. • Invite by link: create a share link to challenge anyone - even friends who don't have Earonman yet. One link can be accepted by several people, each starting its own duel. • Share your duel result to a story: turn a finished duel into an image made for Instagram Stories. Your challenge link is copied to the clipboard so you can paste it into the story. • Win-loss-tie record next to every player on the global leaderboard. Tap the sword icon to challenge them directly. • Mark levels for review: tap the star on any unlocked level to flag it for later. Starred levels appear in a "Marked for review" strip above the level map so you can jump straight to them. • Stuck? After three wrong answers in a row, a friendly prompt offers to drill that exact skill in Free Practice instead - infinite lives, no streak, no game over. The Game Over screen also has a "Try in Free Practice" button next to Retry. • Smarter weekly leagues matchmaking: when your tier is quiet, you are matched into a populated group across tiers instead of playing alone. • Cadence and progression playback polish: the tonic chord plays first as a key reference, then a pause, then the sequence - so the harmonic motion is easier to hear in context. • Mobile quest polish: Reveal Answer is now treated as a neutral "revealed" instead of a wrong guess. Polychordist and Hybrid Lab gained a Harmonic / Arpeggio playback toggle. Polychordist no longer color-codes the chord by quality in "quality" mode (the color was leaking the answer). • Settings moved to a gear icon on the Home screen to free up the bottom bar for the new Duels tab. • Bug fixes: cadence and chord-progression duel themes now create challenges as expected. EarCoin count in the hamburger menu no longer pushes Shop's label off-center.
