What’s new in 1.2.9 • 48 scenarios now come with a photo or a short silent video, across group dynamics, conflict, body language and subtext, in both Adult and Teen modes. • 24 new Teen mode scenarios, including 12 chat conversations. • 6 new body language scenarios. • 47 new Spot the Lie items across both modes. • Clearer wording on a few existing scenarios.

What’s new in 1.2.8 • 39 new video scenarios: hear and see how people actually say it, across tone, subtext and conflict, in both Adult and Teen modes. • 2 new phone-call audio scenarios. • Clearer descriptions on several existing scenarios.

A small update that makes two choices clearer. • The two practice modes are now called Adult and Teen, the same as on the website. Adult mode used to be labelled "All ages", which was misleading: it includes work and dating situations. Teen mode, written for ages 13–17, is unchanged. • The welcome screen and the unlock screen now link straight to the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, so you can read them before you continue or buy. Images and video are AI-generated and labelled as such.

This one is about protecting what you've already earned — and making Restore Purchase actually answer you. • Fixed a bug that could reset your unlocked levels back to Level 1. If the app opened before the App Store had confirmed your purchase — offline, or right after reinstalling — finishing a session could save the free-tier limits over your real progress. The app now waits until it knows for certain, so your levels are never written down on a guess. • Restore Purchase now tells you what happened, every time: restored, nothing found on this Apple Account, or the App Store couldn't be reached. All three used to look identical, and identical to nothing happening at all. • You can restore during setup. Reinstalling used to walk you back through onboarding with no way to say you'd already bought the app. • A purchase that can't be verified now says so, instead of quietly doing nothing. • Your purchase is re-checked whenever you come back to the app, so one made on another device shows up without a relaunch. • The unlock screen is clearer that the iPhone app, the website and the Android app are separate purchases. Images and video are AI-generated and labelled as such.

Deeper body-language practice — and a fix for a habit the app was accidentally teaching. • Not everything means something. Practice now deliberately mixes in moments where the honest read is "nothing is actually going on here" — the arms are folded because the room is cold. A run of practice where every answer turns out to be a real signal quietly trains you to over-read, which is the opposite of the point. • Two new kinds of body-language question. Side-by-side pairs: the same kind of moment twice, one where something is going on and one where it isn't, and you say which. And "what changed": the usual version of a scene next to today's. • Teen practice got the same treatment. The teen body-language set had almost no "nothing is wrong here" moments in the early levels. It does now. • Fixed: leveling up in Pressure & Deception could let a second level-up slip past the one-a-day cap.

A writing pass, driven by your feedback. • Right answers say what actually happened. The correct option now names the person, the action, and what it means — instead of a clever line you have to decode mid-question. • Half-credit answers are honestly half. The "fair read" option used to sometimes say the same thing as the correct one; now it's clearly a right instinct with a piece missing. • Quiet doesn't mean left out. Scenarios that read someone quiet and smiling as "wants to join" now either show them actually trying to join — leaning in, starting sentences — or make that distinction the thing you're asked to spot. Being content on the edge of a group is a real answer. • Fixed a scoring bug in one teen tone question.

More of the app is free, the free tier finally means one thing, and every track got deeper. • Level 1 is now free in every track. Out-loud practice and Pressure & Deception used to be locked end to end; both now give you a real, scored Level 1, the same as the five cue tracks always have. • Social stories open up. You can now browse every story, and three of them — ordering at a coffee shop, a routine doctor's visit, and a job interview — are free to read start to finish, pictures and all. Every other story opens with a free preview before the unlock. • Every track goes deeper: hundreds of new scenarios, and Levels 5–6 now bring expert-level video and audio moments — tone, faces, and body language in harder, more real situations. • Out-loud practice now has two ways in: a quick session dealt at your level, or "Choose a moment" — browse every moment by category and pick the conversation you're actually facing. • The social-story illustrations were reviewed and dozens were redrawn; pictures that showed the wrong moment are fixed, and image descriptions were rewritten to match what each picture actually shows. • Teen stories now get their own closing clip, so "First day at a new school" ends on a school corridor instead of an office. • Progress screen: your Pressure & Deception summary now sits below the weekly trend. Images and video are AI-generated and labelled as such.

Fixes and polish. • The out-loud step at the end of a session no longer turns up after practice that has nothing to say out loud — and when the moment was a text or a DM, it now asks what you’d write back instead of how you’d reply. • Closing that step with the X keeps the results you just earned. Level-ups and the “ready for the next level” card were being thrown away. • Larger Accessibility text sizes now scale buttons, chips, stats, tiles and image captions too, not just body text. • Clearer wording on the speaking and out-loud screens, and the share card now uses the real app mark.

Out-loud practice now has a voice. Every model answer and every follow-up push-back can be played aloud, so you can hear how a line lands before you say it — and rehearse against real pressure instead of reading it off a page. The follow-up now stays hidden until after your first take. Social stories moved to the home screen. Audio is AI-generated and labeled as such.

Bigger text, everywhere. Every screen now follows your iOS text size setting — not just practice and the reading tests. Tone clips actually sound like something. Clips where the delivery is the cue now play their audio, and every clip tells you up front whether it has sound.
