• After you connect Twitch, Embr now asks once, in plain words, whether to alert you when a channel you follow goes live. • The first screen now points out that Favorites work without an account: tap the star on any channel to keep it.

NEW: iPad • Embr is a universal app now — every screen adapts to your window, with Split View, Slide Over and Stage Manager support. • A sidebar shows who's live among your favorites and follows, with avatars and viewer counts. • Stream lists become card grids on larger screens; the channel page puts video, details and chat side by side. • Keyboard shortcuts, new menu bar commands for navigation and playback, pointer hover, and drag any channel out as its twitch.tv link. ALSO NEW • Embr now speaks Polish, from the interface to the App Store listing.

NEW: FAVORITES • Tap the star on any channel, or press and hold a stream, to add it to the new Favorites tab. • See which favorites are live at a glance, with a live count on the tab. No account needed. ALSO NEW • Rate and share Embr right from Settings. • An optional tip jar in Settings. Tips unlock nothing; every feature stays free. • VoiceOver now reads chat messages in full, including emote names, replies and deleted messages. • Polls and predictions refresh more efficiently and pause while Embr is in the background, saving data and battery.

The whole app is now localized — every screen, not just this page. Now in German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Brazilian Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese.

Embr now asks for a rating only after you've actually spent time watching, and the More Apps shelf has been rebuilt — artwork is decoded off the main thread at the size it's drawn, so it scrolls smoothly instead of stuttering.

This update polishes the sign-in flow (no more spurious errors if you dismiss the Twitch login), makes background audio more reliable when you leave the app, and refines the live stream views. Thanks for using Embr.
