A big one. Months of work on the coaching itself, plus a pass over every screen in the app. BETTER, STEADIER COACHING • Scores are far more consistent. The same photo used to come back with a different score each time it was read; now it doesn't. • Rebuilt how a pour is judged: the coach commits to what it can actually see in the cup before it puts a number on it. • Fixed a bug that dropped the opening line from your feedback and your Journal entries. • Better recognition of fine line work, so a cup with tight, well-separated ripples is credited for it. EVERY SCREEN, TIDIED • Onboarding scrolls instead of squashing on smaller phones, and has a Back button. • Journal: an unscored entry reads as unscored instead of 0.0, the personal-best badge no longer crowds out the date, and the chart's range selector fits on one line. • Capture: a way out of the Milk+Pour step, Open Settings when camera permission is denied, and the offline banner no longer covers the mode selector. • Profile and Settings: readable secondary text, a visible name field, and no more "1 scans left". • Larger tap targets, better accessibility labels, and headings that scale with Dynamic Type. RELIABILITY • Analyses recover properly from timeouts and busy moments, and a late-but-successful result is kept rather than thrown away. • A pour queued behind another analysis now says so. • Importing the same photo twice no longer creates two entries — one pour counts once in your stats. • Fixed a freeze after capture and on dismiss, and stopped full-size photos being decoded inside screens that only show a thumbnail. • A second shutter tap while a capture is in flight is ignored. Thanks for pouring with us. Feedback is always welcome from Settings.

A good bar keeps the queue moving — pull, steam, pour, next. Your scan queue now works the same way. • Tap "scans waiting" to see everything queued or failed — retry or delete any one individually, or upload them all for analysis in one tap. • More accurate pattern recognition — hearts, tulips, and rosettas are now told apart correctly, so you're scored on what you actually poured, not a mislabeled guess. • Coaching that points to your single biggest opportunity each pour, phrased fresh instead of recycling the same lines. • Scoring now spans the full range — a blank or barely-there pour reads honestly low instead of blending in with real attempts. • Your Brew Journal now reliably shows this month's Coach's Brief and insights — no more stale carryover from a previous month. • Fixed a bug where hitting the monthly scan limit could leave free-tier users locked out even after a new month started. Also includes: pick your coaching style — Strict, Balanced, or Encouraging — in Settings → Coaching, and improved reliability for slower connections.

Smarter coaching, plus a tone setting that's yours. Scoring is now grounded in specific visible cues with tighter score bands — a 6.7 and a 7.4 mean meaningfully different things. A pour that doesn't quite hit its target design (a tulip that's really a heart) is scored honestly instead of getting partial credit. New: pick your coaching style. Strict, Balanced, or Encouraging — set it during onboarding, or anytime in Settings → Coaching. Scores stay honest in every mode; only the way the coach talks to you changes. Other bug fixes and improvements.

Even a perfectly pulled shot can look wrong through the wrong lens. The quality check was incorrectly flagging sharp photos as blurry when the cup sat on a smooth surface (marble counter, light wood). The full-frame blur detector can't tell the difference between a sharp cup on a plain background and a genuinely out-of-focus shot — so it was rejecting good pours. That check has been removed. The brightness gate remains, and Claude evaluates image quality when it actually matters.

Small improvements to make daily practice smoother. • Progress Reel is now free for everyone — generate your collage from the Journal tab without a Pro subscription • Your streak is front and centre on the Profile tab with a greeting that changes based on whether you've poured today • Only one scored pour? A teaser card now appears in the Journal showing the progress chart is one pour away • Hit your monthly scan limit? A clear upgrade screen replaces the previously invisible blocked state • The review prompt now appears at a natural moment — after you've read your AI feedback and tapped Done • Fixed sideways pour thumbnail on the analysis loading screen • Fixed analysis error copy running edge-to-edge on narrow screens

Details matter — like the difference between milk texture and latte art. • Share cards now show your latte art, not the milk pitcher, when you captured both in the same pour session • The notes field has a Done button so you can dismiss the keyboard without hunting for it • Tapping anywhere outside the notes or scrolling also closes the keyboard

The best pours start before you press the shutter — small refinements, cleaner results. • New: Choose which screen opens when you launch Crema — Capture, Journal, or Smart (camera in the morning, journal after noon) in Settings • New: Your submitted pour now appears as a thumbnail while Crema analyzes it, so you always know which pour is being scored • New: A "Move back a little" hint appears in the viewfinder when you're too close for the camera to focus — helpful for smaller cups like cortados • Fixed: If you used a streak freeze token, the "protect your streak" notification now correctly cancels instead of firing anyway

Dialing in doesn't stop at the grinder — every variable counts. • New: A subtle reminder appears on your Profile when you have an active streak but haven't poured yet today • Improved: AI feedback scores are more precisely calibrated — finer gradations within each band, less clustering at round numbers • Improved: The "Your Setup" tip now connects what it sees in your image to your machine, milk, puck prep, or grind — not just generic hardware advice • Improved: When you flag a struggle area (e.g. "the cut", "symmetry"), the Key Improvement now directly targets it • Improved: Brew Journal entries now capture a distinct observation from each session instead of restating the Key Improvement

Smarter coaching and a streak reminder. • Improved: AI feedback scores are more honestly calibrated — expect less manufactured praise and more actionable guidance • Improved: When you flag a struggle area (e.g. "the cut", "symmetry"), the Key Improvement now directly targets it • Improved: Brew Journal entries now capture a distinct observation from each session instead of restating the Key Improvement • New: A subtle reminder appears on your Profile when you have an active streak but haven't poured yet today

Even the best shot needs a quick re-pull sometimes. • Fixed a bug where Pro subscription status could appear reset after updating the app — Pro features are now restored correctly on first launch • Minor display fix in Settings → About for the device ID shown to support

Skill progression, smarter coaching, and stability fixes. • Skill tree now has Silver and Gold tiers — hit new score milestones to unlock them, each with its own reveal animation • Coaching tips are now tailored to your machine type (single boiler, dual boiler, super-auto) — advice you can actually act on • Pro subscription status is now detected reliably on every launch, including test grants and renewals • Fixed a blank-screen bug that could appear when submitting a pour for analysis • App will prompt for an App Store rating after a few scans — tap Later if it's not a good moment
