Update artwork for A friendlier empty dashboard
Feature

A friendlier empty dashboard

When there are no open chores, the dashboard now shows a clear, friendly message with an icon and a quick action to add a chore, instead of a single line of text.

Update artwork for Friendlier first steps
Feature

Friendlier first steps

Parents whose family has no kids yet now see a gentle prompt to add their first family member, and brand-new players get a quick welcome explaining how to earn and spend coins. Both can be dismissed.

Update artwork for First-time Google sign-in
Bug Fix

First-time Google sign-in

Fixed an error that could stop brand-new accounts from finishing their first Google sign-in and creating their family.

Update artwork for A head start for new families
Feature

A head start for new families

New families now begin with a guided getting-started checklist, example categories, and a starter reward so your dashboard is ready to use right away. Complete the steps to set up your family, then edit or remove anything to make it your own.

Update artwork for Group chore approval payouts
Bug Fix

Group chore approval payouts

Fixed group chore approval so parents can exclude assignees and the remaining coins re-split automatically before approval.

Update artwork for Faster chore editing
Feature

Faster chore editing

The add chore form now keeps the most-used fields up front, remembers additional options, and defaults the assignee from your dashboard filter.

Update artwork for Dashboard chore deletion
Bug Fix

Dashboard chore deletion

Removed the extra delete animation from dashboard chore cards so chores disappear more cleanly.

Update artwork for Notification badge clearing
Bug Fix

Notification badge clearing

Fixed an issue where the unseen notification count could stay visible after a player viewed unseen notifications.
