Lognote 6.5.1: Shared notes arrive sooner
In my November outlook, I said I wanted to spend more time on performance and bug fixes this month. Lognote 6.5.1 has been available on the App Store since November 9. This update focuses on shared notes.
Less waiting for changes
Shared notes sync faster, and notifications about shared notes arrive sooner too. When you use a group together, writing in it should feel more immediate: someone adds an entry, and the others see the change sooner.
That matters for small exchanges. One person asks about something, someone else records the answer, and a correction comes later. Those short entries are often the reason for using a shared group in the first place.
Catching up after a dropped connection
A connection does not always stay stable when you are out and about. In 6.5.1, missing changes are loaded more reliably after a connection drops.
To me, faster sync and reliable catch-up belong together. There is little point in getting new entries quickly on a good connection if something is missing after an interruption. That is why both are part of this update.
Keep your place while reading
New notes no longer shift the list while you are reading. If you are looking through an older entry, someone adding a note should not make you lose your place.
It sounds like a small change. But if you regularly catch up in an active group, that kind of movement can get in the way. The update also fixes issues with signing out and switching accounts on Apple Watch.
What I am working on next
6.5.1 is another step in the direction I described in the November outlook. I will keep looking for places where Lognote makes you wait, feels sluggish or behaves inconsistently.
If you use shared groups, I would like to hear how the update feels. Are changes arriving as expected? Does the list stay steady when you read back through it? If something still goes wrong, please get in touch with your device, app version and what happened just before the problem.
