This app has become a daily part of my life. I thoroughly enjoyed the beta and am happy the developer put it out for everyone. The profile customization, low pressure posting, and reflection make me feel heard and understood.

4.3.2 - Song Search Improvements and Bug Fixes Jul 30
There's more waiting for you tonight.
- Once you've read through tonight's answers, keep going — trending Chapters, songs the Circle's listening to, and a question you answered before, worth remembering again.
- Chapters now come alive with real photos and play instantly when you open them.
- Tap into someone's Chapter and land right on their profile.
- Searching for a song now shows what's trending on Circle and a curated row of featured Circle Artists — tap one straight in, or tell us who we're missing.
- A few things are running smoother behind the scenes.
4.3 - Feed Improvements and Circle Artists Jul 28
What's New:
Fresh look, smoother start. We redesigned the welcome screen, sign-in, and create account pages to match the vibe you've come to expect from Circle.
New to the app? We've streamlined onboarding so you can see who's posting every day and follow them before you even drop your first song. And if you join between questions, you can still make your first post — no waiting for the next window.
Plus: if you haven't answered yet and the question is live, you'll now see real blurred posts from the community teasing what you're missing, instead of an empty screen.
4.2 - Onboarding, Bug Fixes, and Performance Improvements Jul 2
What's New in Circle:
Say it with a song. You can now attach a song to any comment or reply — tap the music note in the composer, search, preview before you attach, and send it. Song cards play right in the feed with a single tap.
A few more things:
- Songs and GIFs can both be on the same comment now
- Saved drops in your Library have a detail view — unsave or remove a reaction without leaving the screen
4.1.2 - Song Comments, Save Circle Drops, Bug Fixes Jun 26
What's New in This Update
Circle Drops: Share what you're listening to right now — no pressure, no curation. Drops live for 24 hours, then they're gone. Skip past someone's Drop and it disappears from your stack forever. One look, that's it.
Bonfire Feed: A new way to explore Campfire rooms before committing to one. Scroll through posts from every active room in one combined feed, see what's going on tonight, and tap into any room that catches your attention.
Invite Friends: Bringing people into your Circle is now actually easy to find. Share your personal invite link from the home feed, your weekly recap, or Settings — whoever joins automatically follows you.
Bug fixes & polish: Scroll position is preserved when you open a room from the Bonfire feed and come back. Various performance improvements
4.1 - Circle Drops, Bonfire Feed, Performance Improvements Jun 22
What's New
A lot of small things that make Circle feel more like itself.
The Bonfire tab now explains itself — what it is, when it opens, and how to get in. The Campfire tab has clearer labels so you always know where you are. Cheer Streaks now tell you how they work right on the strip.
The Ember Library is easier to find and more alive — unanswered past questions now show how many people responded, and your answer saves a note to the Library the moment you post.
When you add a song to your answer, Circle now tells you it picks one based on what you wrote — because that's actually what it does.
A handful of dead ends turned into paths forward. Small things. Felt worth doing.

4.0.6 - Bug Fixes and Performance Improvements May 28
What's New:
Status dots on posts — a gold dot on someone's avatar means they've set a status today. Tap it to peek their vibe, song, and photo without leaving the feed. Dot dims after you've seen it.
Discover tab — new sections: This Week's Vibe shows the mood breakdown across the community, and New to Circle surfaces recently joined members to follow.
Better question lock screen — before you answer, you can now see everyone else's blurred posts and songs. Gives you a reason to jump in.
Bug fixes — status reactions from the home screen now go through, song search improvements, and several stability fixes.
4.0.5 - Locked Screen, Bug Fixes, and Performance Improvements May 25
What's New:
Bonfire is now its own tab: Rooms have moved out of Campfire and into a dedicated Bonfire tab — easier to find, easier to get into a conversation.
Search just got a lot more useful: You can now search by artist name, song title, or post text — not just people. Switch between People and Music results right in the Campfire search bar.
Top Streaks are front and center: The streak leaderboard now lives in your main Campfire feed so you can see who's on a run every time you open the tab.
Trending This Week: The Discover tab now shows the top 5 most-posted songs of the week — tap any song to read everyone's posts about it, or hit play to preview it right there.
Share your Weekly Recap: You can now export your weekly recap as an image and share it anywhere. Tap the share button at the top of your recap to generate your card.
Bug fixes. Fixed a bug where last week's recap teaser could appear on Monday or Tuesday before the new recap was ready.
4.0.4 - Organization, Bug Fixes, and Performance Improvements May 25
What's New
Playlists: Every question now becomes a playlist. After the daily question closes, we build a 3rd party playlist from everyone's songs — find it under yesterday's question. Rooms have their own playlists too.
Bug Fixes: Your answer card now always shows your latest post. Fixed an issue where some users had to restart the app before a post would go through.
4.0.3 - Playlists, Bug Fixes, and Performance Improvements May 18
What's New

Bug fixes and performance improvements.
4.0.1 - Bug Fixes and Performance Improvements May 11
What's New: Bonfire is here.
- Each night after you answer the daily question, the Bonfire opens — a shared space where tonight's answers turn into real conversations. Create a Room around any topic, post your thoughts, share a song, and keep the energy going after the question closes.
- Open a Room, set the vibe with a cover image and an anthem, and invite the conversation to go deeper. Browse rooms others have started, search by topic, and jump in whenever the Bonfire is live.
- Rooms are open to read anytime, but posting and commenting in the Bonfire is for people who showed up for tonight's question. Answer first, then join the conversation.
Bug fixes & polish: Fixed a bug where Mood reactions would disappear after liking a post. Resolved a scroll freeze affecting the following statuses bar. General stability improvements.

Someone removed the "Add A Chapter" button from the profiles... ok, it was us. But thankfully! IT'S BACK!

- Invite links — Share your personal invite link. Anyone who joins through it is automatically connected to you.
- Bug fixes and performance improvements.
3.0 - Comment, Status, and Performance Improvements Apr 30
What's New:
Redesigned Profiles: Profiles got a full makeover. Your anthem leads the way, followed by your bio, mood, and daily vibe all in one place. Your streak is now front and center as a full-width stat, with posts, likes, followers, and below it. Chapters slide through your photos automatically.
Chapters Come Alive: Chapter cards now cycle through your photos with smooth crossfades. Tap any card to dive in.
See Where You Rank: Your streak leaderboard rank now shows directly on your profile under your streak. On the home screen, the Top Streakers section shows your rank and streak even if you're outside the top 6.
Campfire Updates: Submission rows now show each person's profile photo, and winners get a crown badge with their win count. Vote counts update with a haptic tap when the numbers change.
Performance & Polish: Profiles scroll significantly smoother. Fixed a bug where the header card would stretch horizontally for users with a lot of posts.
2.3.2 - Profile and Campfire Redesign, Performance Improvements Apr 20
Streak Leaderboard: See who's been showing up every night. A new leaderboard lives in the Campfire tab — top 3 previewed right in the feed, full board a tap away. Now and All-Time tabs so you can see who's on a run right now and who's put together the longest streak in Circle history. Tap your streak stat on your Profile to open it too.
Streak Badge Colors: The flame badge on posts and your profile now reflects how deep the streak goes. Gold for 30+ days, silver for 14+, bronze for 7+. The top of the leaderboard gets the same treatment — gold, silver, bronze, down to position 3.
Your Circle nudge: Between question drops, the Home tab now points you toward the Your Circle tab in Campfire — everyone you follow, all in one place, even when there's no active question.
2.3.1 - Streak Badges and Performance Improvements Apr 16
What's New
- Cheers just got a whole lot easier. You can now send a cheer directly from any post in the feed — no more hunting down someone's profile. Just tap and it's done.
- We also added a cheer strip at the top of your home screen so you can see everyone waiting on you at a glance. Scroll through, tap to cheer back, tap a waiting card to visit their profile. Each card shows your streak, who's waiting on who, and exactly how much time is left on the window — so nothing slips through the cracks.
- A new feed inside Campfire — tap Your Circle to see everything the people you follow are doing in real time: answers, new chapters, anthem changes, streaks. Chapters stand out as their own content type so nothing worth opening gets scrolled past.
- Grace Days — Miss a night? Your streak is protected. Grace days keep your flame alive when life gets in the way. Earn them by showing up consistently, and Circle will let you know when one gets used.
- Various bug fixes and performance improvements.
2.2.2 - Cheers Updates, Bug Fixes, Performance Improvements Apr 3
What's New:
521 posts across 25 questions. Those moments deserved a home.
Ember Library — every question you've answered, every song that showed up, organized into a calendar colored by how you actually felt that day. Return to a Tuesday from three weeks ago and remember exactly where you were. Your history, yours to keep.
Weekly Reflections live here now too — a monthly view of the broader patterns, right next to the days that made them.
A few smaller things: the conversation thread is a little cleaner (you can edit comments now!), profiles lead with your anthem, and the app is generally faster in the places you visit most.
One question. One song. One honest corner.
2.2 - Ember Library and Bug Fixes Mar 30
What's New
- Campfire gets smarter. The community feed now surfaces people who share your taste in music. Matched by artists, genres, and emotional energy, so you can find your people without searching. When multiple people in your circle post the same song on the same night, that moment surfaces too. And chapters gaining traction in your network now quietly bubble up, so nothing gets missed.
- Chapters now have view counts. See exactly who's opened your chapter and when. The viewer list lives right inside the chapter detail, tap to explore.
- Daily status. Set a short status that shows up in your friends' feeds for 24 hours. A small way to let your circle know where you're at today.
- The Campfire poll feels alive. The vote card now counts down to the Saturday close in real time, shifting from gold to red as the deadline approaches. Voter avatars appear on each submission. You can still vote anonymously.
- Everything responds. Cheering a post rains confetti across the screen. Liking a comment now has the same burst and haptic as liking a post. Voting on a poll question has a satisfying spring. Following, someone snaps into place. Opening your weekly recap reveals section by section instead of appearing all at once.
- Your profile tells more of your story. The header now draws from your mood history, a waveform built from your actual posts, your dominant energy this week, and when you last shared. Smaller, denser, more personal.
2.1 - Interface Improvements and Discoverability Mar 23
What's New:
- Campfire is here. See what your circle has been up to: new chapters, anthems, streaks, and the moments resonating with people you follow. Plus, vote on tonight's question with your community every week.
- Better posting. Know the song you want? Search for and pick it directly. Need inspiration? Let Circle suggest one. Either way, hear a preview before you post.
- Bug fixes and performance improvements.
2.0-product-shift Mar 17
What's New
- Chapters: A new way to tell your story. Create chapters on your profile to group your posts by era, mood, or moment. Give each chapter a title and cover photo, and let your music history speak for itself.
- Streak Celebrations: Keeping your daily streak alive now gets the moment it deserves. Hit a milestone, and we'll make sure you know it.
- Rate Your Weekly Recap: Your weekly recap now asks how it landed. A quick thumbs up or down helps us make your recaps feel even more like you over time.
- Smoother Onboarding: New members get a cleaner, more guided introduction to Circle so nothing feels unfamiliar from day one.
