Past weeks and months are available with Pro. - Added subject and review questions to the FAQ. - Translated text that was still showing in English in Korean, Chinese, and other languages.

Study Pair is now more reliable. - Fixed the widget sometimes showing 0 for your partner's study time today. - Fixed your sessions sometimes not reaching your pair after reinstalling the app. - Partner start and cheer notifications are delivered in more situations, and now also appear while the app is open. - Leaving a pair no longer leaves you behind on your partner's screen if the leave step fails partway. - The "minutes to next level" line now shows EXP, with a note on how pair days count. - Added an FAQ in Settings that explains how the app and Study Pair work.

New: Study Pair (Study Buddy Pro). - Connect with one partner through an invite link and see their study time for today and whether they are studying right now. - Grow one buddy with the time you both put in. Days when both of you show up count as "pair days" and grow the buddy the most. - Choose a "cheer" role instead of studying, so parents can support a child without tracking them. - The Home Screen widget can show your partner's study time for today. - Pair data lives only in your iCloud. The developer cannot see it. Only the person who creates the pair needs Pro (one-time purchase). Invited partners join for free. Also fixes the buddy's smile and localizes the default buddy name.

A fresh new design. The app now uses a calm green palette that keeps the whole screen quiet and easy to read. While you study, a soft light glows around your buddy, and Start and Stop now respond with gentle haptic feedback. Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets match the new look.

Added Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets. You can now check today's study time, sessions, level, and EXP more easily. This update also improves localized text and adds common settings links.
