SmartBites 1.1.3 includes a series of improvements focused on speed, stability, and overall user experience. This update refines load times across the app, making browsing recipes, searching ingredients, and viewing details faster and more responsive. We’ve enhanced the accuracy of our allergy-aware recipe generation to better match user preferences and dietary restrictions, and improved filtering logic for more reliable results. The UI has been polished throughout the app for a cleaner, more consistent experience, including refined spacing, improved touch targets, and smoother animations. We also fixed several minor layout issues affecting smaller devices and addressed an issue where footer content could be cut off on certain screen sizes. Additional backend improvements strengthen authentication flow stability for both standard login and “Continue with Google,” reducing session drop-offs and improving overall reliability. Error messages have been clarified to make troubleshooting easier, and overall app memory usage has been reduced. This release also includes general bug fixes, visual refinements, and under-the-hood optimizations to keep SmartBites fast, accurate, and enjoyable to use every day. If you experience any issues, please reach out—we’re always improving based on your feedback.
