← Shiny Pokes

Changelog

What's new on the website and the iOS and Android apps, newest first.

October 2026

  1. Where it was caught, and two Tap anywhere options

    Android 1.5.5
    • Record where a shiny was caught, from the Shiny Found pop-up or Edit catch.
    • With Tap anywhere on, a tap on the number can count instead of opening it for typing.
    • The hunt buttons can fold behind one Hunt options button, so a stray tap doesn't open another page.

  2. Tap anywhere to count

    Android 1.5.4
    • A new way to count, in Settings, Preferences: tap any empty part of the hunt screen to add an encounter, with a short vibration. A small minus button stays for an extra tap.
    • An option to vibrate when you count with the buttons.
    • Each multi-hunt window can run its own auto-count.
    • Settings are grouped into sections.
