WHAT'S NEW Your gems, one at a time The recommendations screen has been completely redesigned. Gems now come one at a time, and you decide on each: "Not for me", "Save for later", or "Already seen". Got it wrong? An Undo button catches the slip. After a dismissal you can say what didn't work : not my genre, too long, not the right moment. Cards also show the streaming platforms and, for games, the platforms you can play on. Every gem explains itself No more suggestions out of nowhere. Each work tells you where it came from: "Similar to… , which you liked", what it shares with your tastes, and how closely it matches : from "Close to your tastes" to "Right up your alley!". In an Echo, the strength of the link is shown, from very strong to distant. The trailer is one tap away. A sharper engine Under the hood, the recommendation engine has been reworked for better Expeditions and Echoes: more variety from one session to the next within a saga, better tie-breaking between works with similar scores, room made for safe bets, and Expeditions that adapt to how mature your profile is. Echoes now keep the best-liked works instead of being capped by a similarity threshold. Dismissed a gem by mistake? A dismissed work is no longer recommended to you. A new page gathers them all, with the date, and a "Change my mind" button puts one back in circulation: it can appear among your gems again. Echo: the sequel awaits Start an Echo from a work that has a direct sequel and the sequel takes the spotlight: the next volume, your place in the saga, what comes before and after. And across all your recommendations, a saga now points you at its entry point rather than a volume picked at random. Your profile is taking shape If you're just starting out, Gemster says so plainly: your first gems lean on widely loved titles. On your dashboard, a gauge tracks your progress towards an expert profile, and every rating you add moves it along. Invite your friends, wherever they are You can now invite someone by email or through a shareable link, with a name and a short note if you like. They land on a welcome in your name, with a glimpse of your latest gems. As soon as they sign up you're friends, and you get a notification. A new Invitations tab tracks what's pending, and you can cancel a request sent by mistake. Friend search has been rebuilt: it separates people already on Gemster from those still to invite. "Follow" becomes "Save for later" The wording now matches what people actually do. A work you save joins your "Saved works", where you find its upcoming releases and updates from your dashboard. FIXES • Series: opening a work takes you to the season matching your progress • A clearer title when you're all caught up, and a more compact progress panel • Ordered series: your progress shows on the work page, and the catalogue now covers manga and comics too • Books, comics and manga: the original publication date and your edition's date are told apart, and you can date a reading from the original publication instead of being held to your edition's date • Steam: playtime and activity from older imports have been repaired • Dashboard: the getting-started and platform cards are grouped together • Search: edition and video titles are found more reliably • Sharing: the attribution is centred and the author's profile is now clickable • Recommendation cards, trailers and navigation: many adjustments on mobile

WHAT'S NEW Share a work with anyone Recommending no longer stops at your Gemster friends. Every work can now be shared through a link that opens a real page, readable without an account and without installing the app, and opening straight into Gemster if you already have it. You choose what goes with it: your rating, your progress and your note, or nothing at all. Your links stay yours: from "My shared links", strip your details, permanently if you want, from every link already created for that work. They still open the work, without you; to recommend it under your name again, you create a new link. Discussions come alive A new "Discussions" space gathers all your conversations in one place. You can see when your friend is in the thread, when they're typing, and when they've read your message. Answer with a reaction (gem, hamster, heart, sparkles, laugh or anger) copy a message in one tap, and open a shared work's page right from the conversation. Import any library A new CSV import takes your data, wherever it comes from. Start from the simple six-column template, or the detailed one to carry over episodes watched, volumes read, pages, dates, time spent and lists. A step-by-step guide and downloadable examples walk you through it, and you can even have an AI convert an existing spreadsheet using the prompt we provide. A preview shows you every match before you confirm: nothing changes until you say so, and no work is ever picked at random. Progress, down to the essentials Series and reading controls have been redesigned. "I've seen it all" or "I've read it all" catches up every aired episode or published volume in one go, with an exact undo if you got it wrong. Pause a work you've given up on (it leaves your in-progress list and release alerts stop) then pick it back up whenever you feel like it. And if you've ticked "Discovered upon release", each episode or volume joins your history on its own release date, instead of all piling up on today. For games: who can play, and how Game pages now list the available modes: single player, multiplayer, co-op, split screen, MMO, battle royale, and the maximum number of offline players. On the recommendations side, a new "Same screen" filter keeps only games you can play together on one screen, just the thing for an evening with friends. FIXES AND PRIVACY • Clearer profile privacy: private, friends only, or visible to signed-in members, with an explanation of what each level means for your lists • The names of your private friends and their activity are no longer visible • Manga and comics: completion now follows the volumes you've actually read • Session dates and completion dates are saved together • Lists: a first-use tutorial, range selection with Shift + click, and smoother edge scrolling • Sign-up: imports and selection made clearer, and your imported works come pre-ticked at the next step • Light novels are temporarily kept out of recommendations, expeditions included, while we refine how they rank. Only an Echo started from a light novel can still surface them. Nothing else changes: they stay in the catalog, in search and in your library

WHAT'S NEW Talk about what you discover, not just the titles A friend's recommendation now opens a real conversation. Every work you recommend, or that someone recommends to you, gets its own private thread: you reply, you react, and the discussion stays with the work. A message that gives too much away hides behind a spoiler tag your friend reveals when they're ready. The thread also shows where everyone stands: not seen yet, started, finished, rated. A scoreboard for your recommendations A new "Sent recommendations" tab gathers everything you've shared: how many of your gems were actually discovered, the average rating your friends gave them, and the conversations still going. Filter by no reply, in discussion or discovered to see where it's worth following up. Safer conversations You can report a message to the Gemster team with a reason, and block an account at any time: no more messages or recommendations between you, and the other person isn't told. Blocked accounts are managed from your preferences. Every report is reviewed by hand, and our decision reaches you by email. Goodreads import (beta) Export your Goodreads library as a CSV and bring over your reads, ratings and shelves, whether they're books, comics or manga. References missing from our catalog are created once their identity and metadata check out; those needing a look from our team are tracked for 30 days and join your library automatically once approved. You can close the page while the import runs. Prime Video import Bring over your movies, episodes and watchlist from Amazon's official export. Watch durations and playback positions let Gemster filter out trailers and views that were too partial. The ZIP is opened on your device: only the viewing history, watch events and watchlist are sent; your purchases, searches and preferences stay with you. Export your library Download all your works, lists and recommendations as a CSV, right down to the episodes you've watched and the volumes you've read. Your lists, your order Arrange the lists themselves straight from their covers, and the works inside them with "Manage works": drag your covers around one by one or in batches - a long press is all it takes on mobile. Find that order again any time with the "Custom" sort. Revisit your recommendations The tunnel now keeps a history of the sets it has already sniffed out: move from one set to another without starting over. FIXES • Multi-select in catalog search, to add several works at once • Dates for sessions you entered by hand can now be edited afterwards • Search recognises more alternative titles for movies, series and games • Better-calibrated recommendations, with a seasonal nudge at the right time of year • Imports: works you've already started no longer land in your planning lists • Steam: bundles are recognised and matched to the right games • Ongoing series: cards follow the episodes actually released • Quick completion: undated volumes are taken into account • Sign-up: scrolling restored, final actions always reachable, and quick-select offers more works • A new reminder on the dashboard to find your friends

WHAT'S NEW Plex import Bring over the movies and episodes you've watched on Plex, with their dates and ratings. Just connect your account to pull in your watch history — no server to own or switch on. You can also target a server your account has access to, shared ones included, or prepare an export file from a computer. Gemster only reads the connected account's history, changes nothing on Plex, and never stores your access token. AniList import Import your public anime, manga and light novel lists: your ratings, verifiable progress, and your planning entries tucked into a dedicated list. Dates and progress you've already set in Gemster are kept, and missing dates aren't invented. The summary spells out which matches and progress figures are worth a check. Netflix: the full export On top of the activity CSV, you can now drop in the ZIP from your Netflix data export. It carries watch durations and playback positions, so Gemster filters out trailers, previews and views that were too partial, and keeps what you actually watched. You pick your profile, and My List plus your old star ratings come across too. The ZIP is opened on your device: only the history, My List and ratings are sent to Gemster. Steam: twice-daily sync, and on demand Your playtime now refreshes every 12 hours instead of once a day. The page shows your last successful sync, an estimate for the next one, and a "Sync now" button for when you'd rather not wait. Discovery dates When the date you discovered a work is missing, you can now fill it in straight from its page. FIXES • Country selection : list fixed • History: undated works are grouped at the top of an ascending sort instead of being scattered • Series tops: cover picked by release date, no more duplicates between overlapping sagas, and activity periods better respected • Shared time: dated companion activity is now carried over and propagated correctly • Imports: original titles are preserved, and an ambiguous match is flagged rather than guessed • Sign-up: import options are clearer, with a reminder that more services are available from your profile • Smoother animations on the game progress panel and when action menus close • Multi-select: buttons now respect rounded edges and the navigation bar • Notifications: temporarily failed deliveries are retried

WHAT'S NEW Change your email address You can change your email address from your account settings. Confirm who you are with your password or the Google or Apple account already linked, then follow the link sent to your new address (valid for 30 minutes). Your old address stays active until you confirm, and all your sessions end afterwards to keep your account safe. MyAnimeList import: your anime progress Watched episodes now come across, including for anime you dropped partway through. Your plan-to-watch entries go into a dedicated list instead of being mixed into your profile. Since MyAnimeList doesn't provide a date for each episode, start and finish dates are estimated and clearly flagged as such. Episodes with no date stay in your history A watched episode with an unknown date is no longer lost: it's kept and shown as "Unknown date" or "Estimated date". A button lets you fill in the missing dates whenever you like. Richer release notifications The daily round-up for the works you follow now shows the cover of the first release, and titles stand out in bold. Fairer, more readable Tops Series now show the cover of their first work instead of their initials. A "Ratings" column tells you how many of your ratings feed the ranking, and the affinity calculation is explained. Franchise tops no longer show duplicates when several sagas overlap. FIXES • Netflix import: series sharing the same name are told apart more reliably, and your progress advances to the furthest episode matched • Rewritten import summaries for Netflix, Letterboxd, TV Time, Steam and MyAnimeList: clearer counts and a specific reason for every unmatched work • Letterboxd: a clear message when the file isn't a valid export or the username is missing • New availability on your platforms is sorted by detection date

WHAT'S NEW TV Time import Drop in the ZIP from your TV Time export: movies, series, animated series, lists and followed works all come across, episode-by-episode progress included. Available during sign-up and from your profile. Redesigned import page Find a service at a glance: search, filter by media, an "already imported" badge and the import method shown up front (account ID, ZIP or CSV). Your ID is remembered from one import to the next, and editable whenever you like. A detailed report for every import Every import now lists the works it couldn't match, with the reason for each one, so you know exactly what came across and what didn't. Steam Turn on daily playtime sync right while importing your history, no extra step. Your public Steam ID now works alongside your SteamID64. Daily release notification One daily round-up for the works you follow: out today, new season, new volume, new DLC, or newly available on one of your platforms. Search by DLC name Search an expansion or DLC name and the matching game shows up in the results. Book series Volume cards carry more detail and are listed newest first. Stats Your activity durations now come with a readable equivalent ("about 3 days back to back"). Friend recommendations When a friend adds a work you recommended and rates it, their rating shows up in the notification. FIXES • No more automatic zoom when you tap into an input field • Full page count shown on a finished book • More accurate playtime imported from Steam, re-imports repaired • Recommendations: scrolls back to the top on refresh, platform picker display • Adding a work from a friend's history • Work details kept when you add a work
