Game Center comes to the department. • Leaderboards: see who has closed the most cases this week and of all time. The top 3 stand on brass plates, and your own place shows below the top 10. • Nine department ranks, four of them new: Superintendent, Chief Superintendent, Commander, and Commissioner. Each has its own medal. • Every rank is a Game Center achievement, and the Games app shows how close the next one is. • A rank you have not earned yet shows its medal in full color. • The case wire: say yes, and a sealed case's phone forwards you one message a day for a week. Turn it off in Settings at any time. • If the App Store sends no prices, the offer now says so and tries again. • Other bug fixes and small improvements.

Case 1 is free from start to finish. The case file or the Retainer opens every other case. • Played before this update? Every case already on your desk stays open, and so does every case you have closed. • One offer, two choices: the case file, paid once, or the Retainer, monthly. The Retainer now opens every case, and its lab analyses are unlimited. • After your verdict, send the case to a friend. Once they make their own accusation, they see who you named and your grade beside their verdict. • Every folder shows how long its case takes and its number out of all the cases. • New cases lead the desk under NEW THIS WEEK. • 5 new cases arrive with this update, and the department passes 50 files. • Every suspect on the case board now has a booking photo. • LAST SEEN now fits iPhone Duo, open or closed. • Lume, a photo feed, and VestBank, a bank account, now open on the recovered phone in the cases that use them. Pin their posts and payments as evidence. • Other bug fixes and small improvements.

Bug fixes and improvements. • In case 2, MIRA, someone close to her now has something to hide. • 23 of the longest cases are tighter: the same mysteries and endings in about half the reading. • Until you make your accusation, no message gives the answer away. What happens next now waits for the verdict.

Bug fixes and improvements. • In the first five cases, a lab analysis now points you where to look instead of naming who did it. • The introduction's case board works a contradiction one pin at a time. • Your first file opens with an intake slip. • A shared result now carries a link to the game. • Other bug fixes and small improvements.

Bug fixes and improvements. • Pinch or double-tap to zoom into any photo on a case phone. • Filing an accusation now takes a firm hold, so a stray tap never files one. • Your service record keeps a duty ledger of the days you worked a case. • A short tour of your first case phone shows you where to start. • Other bug fixes and small improvements.

Bug fixes and improvements. • A new first case: Comet. A 12-year-old stargazer is missing, and you have until sunrise. Your progress on every case is kept. • One free lab analysis every day, and every analysis is free on your first case. • The department explains breakthroughs when you first need them. • Other bug fixes and small improvements.

Bug fixes and improvements. • The full case account now closes with DONE, like every other page. • A brass button takes the desk back to the top. • The department asks before it writes to you, and says what it will send. • Everything new is translated into German, French, and Spanish. • Other bug fixes and small improvements.

LAST SEEN now speaks German, French, and Spanish. • Play every case in German, French, or Spanish: the interface, the phones, the chats, and the case files. Choose the language in Settings. • Evidence whose words are the clue is now drawn so you can read it: logs, labels, screens, and receipts. • Case files are corrected across the whole catalogue, and a correction now reaches a case you have already downloaded. • The lab no longer counts yesterday's analyses against today.

A phone that behaves like a phone. • Photos works like the real thing: a real back button, the date over the photograph, and the whole picture instead of a crop. • Mail marks what you haven't opened. Notes groups its pages. • The home screen turns the page wherever you swipe, and stays there. • The case chat proves it comes from the real app, so the service behind it stays up for everyone.

Text them back. - Type to anyone in the recovered phone. They answer in their own voice, with lines the case wrote for them. Nobody hands you the answer. - Keep asking for the answer and the lab offers you the next lead. - The recovered phone looks and works like a phone: a live status bar, bigger icons, and working Phone, Calendar, Clock, Calculator, and Settings apps. - On iPhone, your open case sits on your Lock Screen on the same glass as your notifications. - Your reply shows in the chat the moment you choose it. - On a Mac or an iPad keyboard, Return sends your message. - Closing a case on iPad and Mac is smoother. - The records room stays centered after a file goes back on the shelf.

The Records Room. On iPad and Mac your cases stand on a shelf in the records room. Pull a file, watch the cover swing, open the case. Prefer the desk? Switch in Settings. A case you leave open follows you: it sits on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island until you close it. Tap it to return to the file. A Home Screen widget shows the file on your desk and your rank. A new first run, real photographs in every camera roll of the first cases, 3 days of the Retainer at no charge on any term, and a fix for closing the phone on iPad.

TEN NEW CASES Forty-six phones on the desk now. Ten arrive with this release - a bottle on a beach, a ladder nobody moved, a haul that does not add up, and seven more. THE FULL ACCOUNT Close a case and the department will hand you its own account of it, what happened, the chain of documents that proves it, every contradiction the phone held, and which of them you were holding when you made the call. Most detectives close on a B and never learn what an S looked like. This is that file. Included with a Retainer, and waiting under every file in your Closed Files. ALSO - Your promotion arrives the moment you close the file, not behind an offer. - The offer page is one column and one voice, and says plainly that nobody pays to close a case. - Every red button is leather now. Dialogs have rounded corners and room to breathe. - The desk loads faster with a full shelf. FIXES - The lab charged for a report it had already given you. It does not any more, and it says when it has nothing left. - Buying from Settings left the receipt hidden behind the settings page. - A pale disc in the wallpaper that read as neither a moon nor a sun. - The debrief could be dragged sideways on some phones.

FIXED - CASES THAT STOPPED ARRIVING Some players stopped receiving new case files entirely, with nothing on screen to say why. The department's records room was turning requests away and the app was ignoring the refusal. Files now arrive as they should. FIXED - A SHOP THAT SOMETIMES OPENED EMPTY The Detective's Kit could show no products at all if the App Store was slow to answer on a cold start. It now asks a second time before giving up. NEW - THE APP TELLS YOU WHEN THE LINE IS DOWN If new files cannot reach your phone, a dispatch slip says so, and says plainly that everything already on your desk still works. Where a retry can help, there is a button for it. FIXED - THE SHIFT PICKER ON THE ROSTER The hour you were choosing was hard to read against the paper, and the question above it was cut off mid-word. Both are fixed, and the control is now drawn in the department's own hand. FIXED - RATE LAST SEEN, IN SETTINGS Tapping it could do nothing at all. It now opens the App Store where you can actually leave one.

NEW - THE DUTY ROSTER Tell the department the hour you are usually free and it will write to you then, instead of guessing. Never on a day you have already been in, and you can change or cancel it any time in Settings. FIXED - A CRASH ON THE BRIEFING SCREEN Tapping to skip the typing could close the app. It no longer does. This was behind every crash report we had. FIXED - THE KIT STAYED OPEN AFTER A PURCHASE Buying something left you looking at the screen that had just asked you to buy it. It now closes, and the confirmation shows where it should have been all along. FIXED - CASES THAT WOULD NOT ARRIVE One file failing to download stopped every file after it from arriving. Each one now comes down on its own.

NEW - THE DETECTIVE'S RETAINER The department can keep you on retainer: six forensic analyses every day, in weekly, monthly or yearly terms. Three days free to start. NEW - THE WHOLE CASE FILE One payment unseals every case at once. No more waiting on the department to release the next two. NEW - A BRIEFING BEFORE YOUR FIRST ACCUSATION How a file gets closed, explained at the moment it matters. Name one suspect, back it with three pieces of evidence. A wrong name closes the file, but the file never disappears: pull it off the endings shelf and work it again. NEW - CLOSED FILES Your service record now lists every file you have signed off, the grade it earned, and where your points came from. FIXED - THE SUPPLY ROOM The Detective's Kit could not reach the App Store and showed nothing to buy. It works again. CHANGED - ANALYSES The free daily credit is gone. Analyses now come from your starter pack, a retainer, or a credit pack. Every case is still solvable without a single analysis; the lab only ever saves you time.

Someone's phone is waiting on your desk. Read it, pin the lie, name the killer. New cases every week. Now bigger than ever on iPad. No ads, no account.
