Latest Version Information

Here's our list of what's changing from version to version!  We're including the release notes for what'll be in the next version too, so you can see what we've fixed and what we're working on.  We try to submit versions for all the different devices at about the same time, but it sometimes takes one of them a bit longer to approve and make live. 

If you'd like to help test any upcoming version - please get in touch with a message. We're always pleased to have people on board helping to check new releases, and you certainly don't have to be a high-tech person to help!
