This update improves VoiceOver and TalkBack usability: background controls stay hidden during a quiz question, and the timer no longer generates live announcements every second. We also improved onboarding and headings, fixed reliable app-event delivery, and addressed technical issues.

The Daily Challenge completion screen is now much cleaner: fewer distractions, a clear result summary, and a stronger action to challenge friends with your daily score.

HOTFIX: Onboarding button The continue button on the name step is now fixed and visible instead of depending on the scroll/keyboard layout. This keeps onboarding reachable after invite-link entry and name input.

HOTFIX: VoiceOver focus in quizzes After tapping “Next question”, VoiceOver now moves directly to the new question instead of staying focused on the button.

NEW: Better accessibility KnowDown is now easier to use with screen readers and accessibility settings: improved contrast, larger touch targets, less clipped text with larger font sizes, and clearer labels for friend actions. NEW: More control Settings now let you adjust high contrast, text size, reduced motion, and haptic feedback more directly.

NEW: Leaderboards make your rank easier to find Your own entry is now highlighted more clearly in the global and friends leaderboards. When you open the leaderboard, KnowDown automatically scrolls to your current position. NEW: Challenge friends more directly Empty friends leaderboards now explain how to start a duel, show your code, and offer direct sharing. After a perfect Daily Challenge, you can share your result with your personal invite link.

NEW: Today's ELO on the home screen As soon as you've answered your 10 daily questions, you see how much ELO you gained or lost today.
