What's new in 1.7:
• More photos per scan: add a crust or bottom shot next to your crumb photo for a fuller read. It's still just one scan.
• Steadier scores: crumb reads are now much more consistent from scan to scan.
• Name your starter: give your jar a name (or roll the dice for one), set the day you started it, and celebrate its birthdays.
• Loaf name ideas: tap the dice when naming a bake for a fun suggestion.
• Then vs. now: see your first loaf beside your latest, and share it.
• Change your baker name from Profile. Your past community posts update too.
• Report a problem: one tap sends us your app and device details so we can help faster.
