What's new in v1.8.2 Getting back to exploring cities is now easier. • Fixed an issue where there was no clear way to return home after adding a city and reviewing your score against other ratings. • Added a visible Home button on the Your Results screen. • Updated the Facebook link on the About screen. Thank you for helping build the City Liveability community!

What's new in v1.8.0 Compare your city experiences with the community. Rate one category at a time: • Safety • Walkability & Mobility • Culture & Social Life • Healthcare • Affordability • Outdoor & Healthy Living Give each category a score from 1 to 10, or choose Not sure / Skip when you cannot judge it. Answer at least four categories to save and see your weighted overall score. • Compare your overall and category scores with the community. • Add when you last visited, how well you know the city, and an optional written review. • Use Back and Next to review your answers before saving. • Keep unfinished edits when results refresh in the background. • Answer controls lock while saving to prevent accidental changes. Existing ratings keep their scores until you update their category ratings. Editing only your review does not change your score. Thank you for helping build the City Liveability community!

What's new in v1.7.4 Tell us how you experienced a city. When adding or ranking a city, choose: • Temporary stay (more than 5 days), such as tourism. • Lived there for an extended period. Your choice is saved with your rating and can be changed in your account. Existing ratings remain “Not specified” until you add this detail. Thank you for helping build the City Liveability community!

What's new in v1.7.3 Typing and adding cities are easier: • Improved keyboard handling across search, forms, and messages to keep the field you're editing in view. • Simplified country selection in Add a City. • Tap the new info button beside your ranking to learn how the 0–10 liveability score works. • When a city search has no matches, use Add City to open the creation flow. Thank you for helping build the City Liveability community!
