# Mobile Release Notes

## (UPDATE IN PROGRESS) TempoWeave Mobile v26.823.1

### Print / PDF works now — for real

**Print / PDF is rebuilt from the ground up** and verified on both iPhone and Android. Pick your paper, views, and options, and the PDF saves wherever you point it.

### Weave Assistant: tap to advance

The treadle overlay is now one big Next button: **tap anywhere on it to advance a pick** — no hunting for the button with a shuttle in your hand. Dragging still repositions the overlay, and the close button still closes. If you prefer the old behavior, turn it off under View. The Next button itself is bigger too.

### Editing fixes

* Deleting several selected weft picks at once no longer crashes the app.
* **Clear Selection now clears the threads** (keeping the picks and threads in place) instead of just dropping the selection — matching desktop.
* Marking a draft multi-treadle persists through save, same as desktop.

### Clearer licensing

Tapping a feature your license tier does not include now shows a clear dialog with an Unlock or Sign In button — instead of quietly doing nothing.

## TempoWeave Mobile v26.803.1

Covers the Android and iOS apps since 26.726.1 (iOS launched in between — welcome, App Store weavers).

### Color tools arrive on mobile

The Yarns panel grows the desktop's color toolkit, all touch-friendly and undoable:

* **Color Swap** and **Color Exchange** — replace one color everywhere, or trade two. (Core and above, as on desktop.)
* **Color Repeats** — build a stripe recipe (tap colors, set counts, or seed it from the current warp/weft) and apply it across warp or weft. (Pro, as on desktop.)
* **Color Pattern Draw** — define a color sequence once, then paint the color strips and watch the colors cycle as you go. (Pro, as on desktop.)
* **Save Palette to My Yarns** — keep the current draft's palette as a reusable, shareable yarn line.
* **Sort Palette** — original, hue, lightness, color family, or warm-to-cool ordering for the palette strip.
* The **new 57-color default palette** from desktop is the mobile default too.

### One license, every platform

Mobile now honors the same Lite / Core / Pro tiers as TempoWeave Studio: signing in with your license unlocks exactly the features your tier includes, on every platform. The free app remains a full design playground — drawing, browsing, assistants, and TempoTreadle all work without an account. See the updated Your Account and What Unlocks guide for the feature table.

### Thread Assistant

* **Threading progress saves itself** — every ten marks and when the assistant closes. Swiping the app away no longer loses your place at the loom.
* **Floating selvedges display as "FS"** — no heddle, sley through the reed only.
* **Shaft-1 taps land on shaft 1** — editing threading on a phone no longer jumps the view when you touch near the bottom edge.

### Also

* **Open Fiberworks .dtx and WeavePoint .wpo files** from the file picker or Browse Drafts, with thumbnails.&#x20;
* **Paint All Warp / Paint All Weft** in the Yarns panel — flood a whole axis with the active color in one tap, including the colors new threads inherit.
* **Repeat Counter in the Weave Assistant** — same as desktop: counts true end-to-start wraps of the piece or marked section, editable, shown as "Repeats: N" in the header.
* **Android remembers its orientation across screen-off.** A tablet lying flat at the loom used to wake in portrait until you picked it up; it now wakes exactly as it slept.
* **Update notices.** When a newer TempoWeave is in your app store, a small banner offers to take you there. Dismiss it and it stays gone until something newer ships.
* **iOS: unlock in the app.** TempoWeave on iOS offers a one-time in-app purchase that unlocks the Lite tier on your mobile devices; the unlock follows your email across devices, and Restore Purchases works after reinstalls. Licenses from tempoweave.com unlock their full tier on every platform by signing in.

## TempoWeave Mobile v26.726.1

The first TempoWeave Mobile release with its own notes. Everything below applies to the Android and iOS apps; it covers all changes since 26.711.1.

### Highlights

* **Major battery fix.** The app no longer keeps rendering in the background while you look at an open draft — idle processor use dropped to near zero. Devices run cooler and batteries last dramatically longer during long design or weaving sessions.
* **The menus now match TempoWeave Studio.** The Design panel groups its edit operations the way desktop does (Tie-Up, Warp, Weft), Tromp as Writ lives on Tools, and a new Help panel after View links the TempoWeave Mobile Guide, Feedback and Support, and About. What you learn in one app now carries to the other.

### New Features

* **Tie-Up Diagonal** with the full desktop option set: start treadle, step, treadles per cycle, stop treadle, and downward stepping. The defaults give the classic step-of-one diagonal from treadle 1 in a single tap. (Thanks, Dawne.)
* **Tromp as Writ options.** Choose structure only, structure and color, or color only — the same three choices as desktop — instead of the previous fixed behavior.
* **Shift cards for warp, weft, and tie-up.** Four arrow buttons shift the whole warp, weft, or tie-up one step per tap, with optional wrap-around. Colors and thickness travel with the threads.
* **Invert and Rotate** for warp and weft, joining Clear, Reverse, and Mirror.
* **Select All Warp, Select All Weft, and Cut Selection** on the Home panel.
* **Lock Draft.** Protect a finished design from accidental edits — locked drafts open locked on every platform, and unlocking asks for confirmation. On mobile, Save still works on a locked draft (edits are blocked at the source), preserving things like weaving progress.
* **Messages from LoftyFiber.** The bell on the toolbar shows news and update announcements with an unread badge, matching desktop.
* **Repeat to Fill in View Fabric.** Tile your cloth seamlessly to fill the screen at any zoom — see yardage, not just one repeat. (Thanks, Russell.)
* **Report button** for public cloud patterns.
* **Doubleweave construction type** can be designated in Project Info - Cloth Construction; View Fabric starts with the Double Weave checkbox on for designated drafts. (#325)

### Bug Fixes

* **Yarn Catalog selection works the way it looks.** Tapping a checkbox now selects reliably, and checking a yarn line checks every color under it — drill in and see exactly what Copy to Palette will copy.
* **Project Info no longer clips Cloth Construction** at the bottom of the dialog. (Thanks, Dawne — #334)
* **Weft operations work on liftplan drafts.** Reverse Weft and Mirror Weft previously did nothing on liftplan drafts.
* **Pinch zoom recovers by itself** if the system interrupts a gesture mid-pinch (previously it could stay stuck until an app restart).
* **Override Woven Length keeps its decimals** in Project Planning. (#326)
* **About shows the real app version** instead of a pre-release.
