What is being improved now.

Simpler mode

A simpler mode is being built for users who want the most relevant logging and progress details without extra noise.

In progress
Barcode and catalog flow

Barcode gaps, label photos, ingredients, nutrition facts, and serving details are being shaped into a review flow that can help future users.

In progress
Account and data request paths

Signed-in users should use app controls first, with public request options available when app access is unavailable.

Reviewed
Known limitations

Beta edges testers should expect.

Install and invite friction

Some testers may need a refreshed invite or matching beta account email before install links open.

Monitoring
Catalog coverage gaps

Some barcode or item matches may need manual review, correction, or contribution notes while the contribution workflow improves.

Expected beta gap
Email-only report context

Email reports may miss app version, platform, device, and screen context. In-app reports are preferred when available.
