Wastime
A new look and a calendar that stays online
The first thing you will see in this version is how the app looks, with new buttons, lists, headers and dialogs on every screen. Underneath, there is a careful change for anyone who publishes a calendar, so that tidying up History or switching accounts never takes something offline by surprise, and a handful of small repairs to pickers, messages and sign-in.
New
A notice before you publish from another account
If you publish while signed in with a different account than the one that published last on this phone, the app tells you before anything is sent. That publication goes to the account you are signed in with, under its own link, and the other account's calendar stays online as it was. The FAQ has three new answers about History and publishing from more than one account.
Improved
A new look across the app
Headers, lists, buttons and dialogs have a new look on every screen, including the date and time pickers.
Cards on Home and years in Calendars answer a tap
The cards on the home screen and the years in the Years calendar show a ripple when you tap them, so you can see the tap landed before the next screen opens.
Sign-in errors in plain words
When signing in or creating an account does not work, the message now says what went wrong in plain words. If it is something you cannot fix yourself, it carries a short code you can quote to support. Closing the Google or Apple sign-in sheet no longer shows an error, and an old error no longer lingers on the sign-in screen after you have moved on.
A quieter Journey chapter map
Journey has a faint picture behind its chapter map, and the chapter cards let it show through. A few clumsy phrases in the chapters are reworded too.
A softer frame around an empty required field
A required field you have not filled in yet now has a soft red frame. It used to be bright red, louder than the label and the value beside it.
Fixed
Removing an earlier version from History keeps your calendar online
Removing an earlier version from History in Calendars now clears it from this phone only, and your published calendar stays online. Before, it could take the published calendar offline as well. To take a calendar down, delete the one marked as active.
The sort button in Topic Manager follows the side you are on
The sort button now goes by the side you are looking at, Wasted or Meaningful, and is there whenever that side has more than one topic. Before, it went by whichever list had reported last, so it could be greyed out on a side full of topics.
Messages at the top sit under the toolbar
A short message at the top of a screen you opened from another one now appears under the toolbar. It used to slip under the status bar.
Date and time pickers close once
The date and time pickers close once, however quickly you tap Confirm, and a picker no longer pops up over another screen if you left its field before it opened.
A stuck window clears without closing the one you are using
When a window gets stuck on its way out, the app now clears it without closing one you are still using, and that window opens normally again afterwards.
"Tap back again to exit" goes away sooner
On the home screen, the hint after the first press of the back button now lasts five seconds instead of fifteen, and it disappears when you open another screen, where a second press would not have closed the app anyway.
The rings around a running stopwatch sit on its dial
While a timer runs, the rings around the stopwatch button are centred on its dial. Before, they rode a little above it.
