The Monthly special Edition arrives later this month: Expect something spooky! Also new: - Share a score and your friends see a challenge: "Can you beat 812?" - Sharing your result banks a Streak Shield, and the results screen now tells you so. - Disputed borders are drawn dashed on the map. - The UK map opens with Shetland in view. - Notification requests come at better moments, not after every game. Fixes: - A game left halfway no longer counts as played. - Global's share card now counts the game you just finished in your streak. - Ad-free bought before signing in now follows you to your account when you sign in.

A fresh coat of paint: new pins, new game icons and the PlayPinDrop colors throughout every game, with sharper contrast so text and buttons are easier to read. Fixes: A game that crosses midnight now counts on the day you started it, and your review screen opens it under that day. Games are saved the moment your fifth pin is scored. Streaks for each game show the right number once a day is missed. Global serves one whole country a day. Clearer wording when you delete your account.

A new name and a new look. The app is now PlayPinDrop, with a new mark: a hand dropping a pin on the map, in a color of its own for every game. Also in this release: Clearer maps. Parks, forests and built-up areas now read apart from each other properly, including for color-blind players. A reviewer told us the green and the grey were hard to tell apart, and they were right. Everything else is where you left it. Same daily five, same streaks, same groups, same archive. Nothing to do on your end.

Clearer maps. Forests now read green and cities read grey in every game, including for red-green color blindness. Upcoming themed day on September 19! Small fixes across PlayPinDrop.

Ad-free is now available inside the app. Subscribe from your profile and the ads go, here and on the web, on the same account. Also fixed: if you only ever play one of the city or sports games and never open the world map, your daily reminder was not reaching you. It does now.

We ask about daily reminders far less often. Turn the ask down and we wait longer before asking again, then stop asking for good. If you have a streak going, the prompt now tells you which streak the reminder is protecting. Plus fixes to signing in and to what the app remembers between updates.

Fixed a bug that stopped the results screen from appearing afterfinishing a game in several city and sports modes. Your score was always saved, you just could not see it. Hints no longer cover the map. You can drag the clue panel out of the way, and scroll it when there is more to read. Fixed the College Football icon failing to load. The streak shown on your results card now matches the home screen.

See where your group dropped their pins. On the results map, switch on Group pins to see everyone else's guess for a round next to your own. Pick a round to compare, tap a name to hide or show them, and if you're in more than one group, choose which one you're looking at. Also in this update: • Past days in your archive now show that day's average instead of today's, so you can compare your score against the day you actually played. • Turning off reminders in your profile now sticks. It was switching itself back on the next time you opened the app. • Fixed a bug that could end a game after four rounds. If it happens now, you go back to the round you missed instead of losing the day.

Your game now follows you between devices. Start on your phone, finish on a laptop, and your progress carries over as long as you're signed in. Fixed an ad banner that could sit over the clue and the answer button in Wayfinder, which made that game very hard to play. Thanks to the reviewer who flagged it. The results map now fits both pins on screen every time, so you can always see how far off you were. And a new UK game arrives 26 August: four nations, 300 locations, from city centres to castles and coastline.

Group owners can now download their group's full history as an Excel file, right from the group menu. Every date and score since the group started, plus the round by round detail: all five locations each day, what everyone scored, and how long each guess took. Daily reminders now actually arrive. If you turned notifications on and never got one, that was our fault and it is fixed. You do not need to do anything, or turn anything on again. Also fixed a layout problem where an ad could sit over the links and buttons at the bottom of the home and results screens.

Your score now shows up in group comparisons the moment you finish, instead of appearing a while later. Location clues got more precise. Museums, stadiums, theaters and studios now say what they are, where a lot of them used to just say "attraction". A few San Francisco spots were renamed to name the actual branch rather than the brand, so a familiar chain no longer sends you to the wrong one. Thanks to the players who wrote in about both of these.

Daily reminders on your phone. Turn on notifications and your nudge comes as a tap instead of an email. One a day, only when you have not played. Plus layout fixes at the bottom of the home and results screens.

New in 1.1: the results screen now tells you which country you were in, even when you missed the city. Fixed a bug where the previous round's answer stayed on the map while you were making your next guess.
