Penal is slowly gearing up for the competitions after the World Championship. Behind the scenes we've been laying the foundations for what's next, alongside a handful of performance improvements and minor design tweaks. More to come as new tournaments approach, with thanks to Arjan for keeping a watchful eye.

Some minor bugfixes and behind-the-scenes improvements in this release. Nothing too exciting on the surface, but Penal should feel a bit smoother. Arjan kept a watchful eye on the details, naturally.

Lots of small refinements this round. Pro and Club pools can now export their data, emoji reactions are live, and plenty of little bugs have been ironed out. Arjan's sharp eye made sure nothing slipped through unnoticed.

A handful of points calculation fixes in this one, so the maths finally adds up the way it should. Avatars in chat are now tappable, so opening a fellow predictor's profile is just one tap away. A few smaller polish touches round things off, with Arjan quietly making sure nothing slipped through.

Sorted a glitch where predictions sometimes failed to appear on the Live screen (cheers to Harco for flagging it). The chat panel now remembers whether you left it open, minimised or closed. Emoji reactions got a bit of polish too, alongside the usual round of smaller fixes. None of this would be quite as tidy without Arjan keeping watch.

A round of small fixes and tweaks to make everything feel that little bit nicer to use. No headline features this time, just steady polish under the surface. Cheers to Arjan for spotting the bits that needed a touch-up.

Sorted out a bug where the bonus question failed to show properly during live matches when opened from the Matches tab. Small fix, big relief. Cheers to Arjan, whose patience for the awkward edge cases keeps Penal honest.

Plenty of small refinements across the app, and you can now fine-tune your push notifications to suit how closely you want to follow the action. Smoother, calmer, and a touch sharper, kept honest, as ever, by Arjan's eye for the details that nobody else spots.

A round of careful polishing throughout the app: tidier design touches, smoother flows and a healthy pile of small fixes. Most of it you won't notice individually, but everything together should feel a touch nicer to use. With thanks to Arjan, whose patient nitpicking quietly shaped most of these improvements.

We've polished the Live screen and given the Cast feature a proper tune-up, so watching matches on a bigger display just works the way it should. Behind the scenes there are loads of optimisations and bugfixes to keep the app feeling snappy. A quiet thanks to Arjan, who keeps spotting the little things the rest of us miss.

A big thanks to Cristopher from Costa Rica, who helped us track down a sneaky timezone bug that was skewing match times. On top of that, we've added reminders for the bonus questions so you won't miss out on extra points, and matches that get postponed, cancelled or interrupted are now handled properly. As always, Arjan quietly polished the rough edges along the way.

Prof and Club members can now chat live during matches, and the scoreboard can be cast to a telly via Google Cast — ideal for the pub or clubhouse. We'll keep refining these features all the way to next summer's big tournament, and there's a heap of smaller improvements and optimisations in this one too. Arjan's fingerprints are all over it.

The matchday selector above the matches is back on its best behaviour — moving between rounds feels smoother and the taps actually land. Sorted out a few small navigation hiccups along the way, and the doublers no longer keep you waiting around. As ever, Arjan kept an eye on the rough bits so we could polish them out.

A small but tidy update. The score selector has been refined so entering your predictions feels a touch smoother, and we've sharpened up a handful of design details across the app. Subtle stuff, but it adds up. Cheers to Arjan for spotting the bits we'd otherwise have missed.

Bug fixes and visual polish. With contributions from Arjan (and, fine, the rest of the team), Penal keeps getting better.

Performance improvements and small design tweaks. Thanks in part to Arjan's efforts, together we keep making Penal better!

Added more translations and pools can now be created in multiple languages. Match cards now more clearly show your prediction and the result, and the points calculation has been improved. Various bugs related to pool upgrades and rankings have been fixed. Arjan has been quietly tinkering away again.

The live screen now supports multiple matches at the same time and a new pool ranking system has been added. You can also manage sub-pools from the pool screen. Additionally, bugs have been fixed around score display and the doubler, thanks to Arjan's sharp eye.

You can now join pools by scanning a QR code, and we added a brand new rankings screen. We also renamed the pool types and made several improvements to the sign-up flow and overall stability. Thanks in part to Arjan's efforts.

In some cases, the sign-up flow didn't go quite right; additionally, a bug has been fixed that prevented you from always accepting pool invitations.
