Fixes and polish. Opening a round that already finished now shows a clear way back. Invite links retry on a spotty connection. Signing in with Google uses your first name right away. A drawing you sent by link to someone you already play now reaches them. Name fields no longer suggest replies. Fixed a rare crash on a weak connection.

Know the answer? Type it. Tap the new keyboard key next to the letter tiles to switch back to typing any time, and tap the tiles icon to switch back. We remember which you like, so the next round stays that way. Your typed letters fill the slots as you go, and hint letters stay put. On an iPad with a keyboard, you can type straight into the tiles.

Never miss your turn: notifications now work for everyone who allows them, including players who never saw the prompt before, so you'll know the moment your rival guesses or sends a drawing. The prompt now appears after any drawing you send, and 'Not now' really means not now. Plus hundreds of new hard words to draw.

The drawing no longer paints over the letter slots when a stroke touches the top edge. Reaction alerts now say what got the reaction, your drawing or your guess. Also recent: a round can never get stuck on the reveal, coming back resumes where you left off, Give up is always there, nothing pops up over your game, and a used challenge link lets you start your own rivalry with whoever drew it.

Fixed a round that could get stuck: if the drawing stopped playing back, you had no way to give up. The drawing now always finishes revealing, coming back into a round picks up where you left off instead of replaying from the start, and Give up is always there. Also: nothing pops up over your game anymore, and used challenge links let you start your own rivalry with whoever drew it.

Nothing pops up over your game anymore. The pause note, the draft banner, and the retry bar are gone, so notifications never cover your tiles or your drawing. Also from 1.1.4: turn a challenge link someone else already accepted into your own rivalry with whoever drew it, guesses with spaces read correctly in your history, and fixes for cancelling challenges and stuck drawings.

Fixes from your reports: • Opening a challenge link on iPhone could crash the app. Fixed. • Words with an apostrophe (Buyer's Remorse, Writer's Block) could not be completed. The apostrophe is now shown and never needs a tile. • The guess clock now pauses for up to 60 seconds when you step away, so a call or a text does not cost you the round. Beyond that it keeps counting. • The guess screen no longer jumps around when the keyboard opens and closes. • Dots (eyes, freckles) always render in replays.

Dots are back. A quick tap (eyes on a face, freckles, the dot on an i) could show while you drew but vanish in your rival's replay. Every dot now renders the same everywhere: in the app, in replays, and in the browser. Drawings you already sent are fixed too. Also in this release: the landscape drawing mode, two-phase guessing with a free hunch before the letter tiles, nudges, and a redesigned rivalry scoreboard.

DrawVersus 1.1 is here: a draw-and-guess duel built for exactly two people, you and someone you like beating. Draw something and send it. Your rival watches your sketch redraw itself stroke by stroke while the clock runs, then draws one back. The volley never ends. • No timer while you draw • Guess with letter tiles and hints • Streaks, weekly scores, shared gallery • Friends can guess from a link before they install • No ads, no coins, no pay-to-win Start your first rivalry.
