Yeah, I haven’t forgotten about the app. A new version has been released today.

Short version, this version has the navigation completely restructured to try and make it cleaner when adding new puzzles in the future (I do intend to!). I have also added the ability to ‘pin’ your favourite puzzles. Doing so will display them on the landing screen when the app opens. I have also had to temporarily remove the Crucible runewheel puzzle and detailed Prove your Worth lever puzzle as it was causing issues that I haven’t been able to resolve. They will be re-added when I can.

Long version and a bit technical so skip if you can’t be bothered 😀

Oh boy…. I haven’t updated the app in ages and I’m sorry about that. But Microsoft decided that Xamarin Forms needed to become .NET Maui and honestly – it seems to have broken all sorts of stuff that worked just fine previously. I can honestly say that over the last year I have lost my enthusiasm for coding and I found it a struggle to work through the required upgrade. I could have switched to yet another tech stack but I just couldn’t face it. So it’s lingered….

Then Android advised that all apps had to support a minimum version of API 35 which meant I had to get the upgrade finished. So – it’s here.

I had some feedback from users a while back about the navigation, with the large images to select the puzzle you wanted to view being a bit clunky and I certainly agreed with that. So the new navigation is a flyout menu that lets you go to the puzzle area and select from there.

Now that I have the upgrade finished I want to get the two puzzles that I have had to remove fixed, then start adding new ones in again. I realise Shroud and Reaver are wanted – I just need to find the logic to code those. Because I am not clever enough to work it out myself 😀

Anyway, I hope you like the new look of the app. If you have any issues with it, please reach out to me through the Google Play Store.
