Jun 10, 2020
This update fixes an issue where imported Rewards/Props missing a Category would fail to import.

Categories are what Tags should have been from the beginning; fully customizable indexes for you to organize your Rewards and Props. We're putting the power of organizing completely in your hands.

Notable differences between Categories and Tags are:
- A given Category only exists for either Props OR Rewards. This addresses the 'empty row'/'missing rewards' confusion that was introduced in a recent update.
- Rewards/Props can only be assigned to one Category at a time, so you will only ever see any given reward in one place on that screen, ever. We hope this provides a more straightforward experience.
- Categories will allow you to drill in deeper, almost like a folder for rewards/props; Tap on the category name to see a screen of all items for that category. This way you won't have to scroll endlessly on that single tiny row if you have many rewards or props assigned to the category.
- Tags, which used to serve the organizing purpose, now act only as searchable terms that help you find specific Rewards/Props that much more quickly.

The Reward and Prop search experience has also been powered up a bit, making it even easier to find what you are looking for. Give it a try!
1.4.3
May 10, 2020
Another update with bug fixes and small improvements!

This time around, keep an eye out for:
- Props can now always rotate! No matter what, even when when navigating to them from a Reward with a locked orientation (Landscape or Portrait)
-Added ability to save images from rewards to the phone's photos app. Tap the saved image to bring up the usual menu with "load from photo library" and "delete image" options, and now there will be a new option to "save to photo library"
- Fixed a bug where imported rewards with the same internal ID would overwrite each other. Now you are instead presented with the choice to overwrite the previous reward or to make a new separate one
- Fixed and issue where the "No Students" empty state would sometimes appear erroneously
- When editing/making a Reward, the "Reward Not Ready" alerts now show all missing requirements before the reward can be saved instead of showing only the one next missing requirement
- Now allowing "-" character in tags
- Classrooms now sort alphabetically by default
- Updated drag and drop behavior for image lists in edit reward screen
- Fixed crashes that happened when tapping the "i" icons in the edit reward screen
- Fixed some UI hiccups when switching templates in the edit reward screen

1.4.2
May 1, 2020
It may not look like much at first, but look closely and you will see many small changes that add up to a large update!

Bug fixes:
- Fixed a crash that happened when trying to create a Tic Tac Toe reward.
- Creating a new schedule now correctly remember the day you were on in the calendar view when you started the new schedule.
- Hidden Rewards/Props can now be found again at the very bottom of the Rewards/Props dashboard views.

Updates:
- The spotlight-esque tutorial has been replaced with a tooltip-esque tutorial! As new features are added in the future, keep an eye out for new tool tips that point out new features.
- The tag picker now allows for multiple tag section, and a more straightforward interface for adding new tags.
- You can now create "Classrooms" for students as way to group certain students together. You can make as many classrooms as you want, and can move students between the classrooms whenever you want. However you want to organize them, you now have the power to do so!
- Along with that, on the Student dashboard screen, you can drag-and-drop students between different classrooms, or press and hold for edit and delete shortcuts.
- The edit button at the top-left of the Reward/Prop dashboard screens is gone. Now, whenever you want to Edit or Share one of these Reward/Prop items, simply press and hold on the item and a context menu will appear. From this menu you can choose to View, Edit, or Share the item!
- The Reward/Prop dashboard screens have been reworked to be more performant. If you have high numbers of Rewards or Props, this should help to load the screens more quickly!
- Additionally on the same screens, you will notice that when you do not have Rewards/Props for a given tag, there will now be an empty row instead of skipping the row.

As well as other stability updates and optimizations under the hood that lay the foundation for large future updates.
