This version is very special to me: it’s the first release under my own company, Saku Studio. Since this year, I’ve been working full-time as an indie developer, which gives me much more time to focus on building and improving this app. With this release under Saku Studio, you’ll also find a brand-new “About Me” section in the app. But that’s not all: this is a packed update! - iCloud sync. The most important feature in this update. No more exporting, importing, duplicating, or sharing plays with yourself across devices — your data now syncs automatically. - Importing games from your BGG wishlist are now correctly imported into your in-app wishlist instead of your collection. You can also choose how to handle games you’ve interacted with (plays, scores, etc.) that are not part of either your collection or wishlist. - Filtering on amount of players for Plays and Statistics. - Option to add locations to plays. You will now be able to add where you played the game and have statistics on this as well. - Additional statistics on the Game Detail view. - On the Game Detail view, the button to add a play is improved. - There was a bug when games needed to go to wishlist from collection is now fixed. - Small UI changes and textual improvements. - Added the option to select Light/Dark mode or keep it on Automatic.
