WHAT'S IMPROVED • Your Library leads with stories — a month-by-month mosaic of the memories you have built, with everything you have ever added one tap away under "Everything". • Time, People and Place are places you can move through now. • Sort your stories by when they actually happened. • The Story tab is quieter. The story as told opens first already expanded. • Writing, recording, filming and importing all follow the same short set of steps now. • Added a post-import review page. • Reviewing photos from your phone is its own step now — press and drag to pick out a whole run of them at once. • A person's page shows that person's memories. • When you record your side of something, you can watch the words arrive as you speak. • After you record, the review step plays back the take you just made. • New Loading/Splash screen WHAT'S FIXED • Stories show all of their photos, in the order things happened. A story built from a large import used to show only the first fifty, scattered with gaps — which looked like photos that would not load. They were always there. • Signing in with Google works again. • Adding a town while you are looking at Florida no longer reaches into the wrong state for it. • Adding photos from your phone works again in the story view. • Videos in the Library no longer replay on a loop, or keep your phone's video hardware busy while you are reading something else. • Every Looking Back card is the same width, so the row scrolls the way a row of cards should. • A voice answer is no longer transcribed twice. • Family members are no longer named after the front of their email address. • The back gesture no longer closes the keyboard out from under you while you are writing. • The level meter moves while you record. It used to sit flat for the whole take, which made a recording that was working look like one that was not. • Recordings get transcribed. Several things were quietly losing the words; the transcript now arrives on its own and fills itself in once the words are ready. • Something you write about one photograph stays with that photograph, instead of also turning up as a loose scrap of text among the story's memories. WHAT'S BEEN ADDED • Sides. Write or record what a story means to you, in your own words — or what one photograph inside it means to you. Everyone who was there can add theirs, and they sit alongside each other, so no one person's telling has to stand in for everybody's. • Your family's places, on a map you can walk through. Open a country, drill into a state, then into a city — every place your family has named carries its own pin, whether or not there are memories in it yet. • Add a place from wherever you are standing, and it lands on the map straight away instead of sending you back through a form. • Before you ask someone to contribute, you can see exactly what they will see when they open your link. • People has a place of its own again, beside Time and Place.

Fixed: • Sign in with Google • Library sorting • Auto-import photo weave into library Improved: • Library now Story focused • Splash screen design • Completely revamped onboarding process

Improved onboarding experience. Meet Lora right away. The new first-run flow doesn't just explain Folklore — it walks you through saving a real memory. Pick a photo, tell Lora what was happening, and she turns it into your first story before you ever reach your Library. Story Sides. The same memory, told by the people who were there. Add your side to any story, and read a story by time, place, people, activity, or side. Collect from family without asking them to install anything. Share a link and they can send you photos, video, or voice — no account needed. Voice notes with Lora are now tap to start and tap to stop, rather than press and hold. Shared stories and entries open directly in the app now, including links from an emailed request. Also fixed: Library videos no longer pause your music, the place picker is back with a simpler way to add places, imports handle much larger photo selections, and Spanish is complete throughout.

Added "Side" feature. Add your side of each story.

Improved: Google Photos import, location picker, and notification system.

Stability and reliability improvements for production. Includes backend and store-pipeline hardening so families can keep capturing and sharing stories with confidence.
