A fresh Material 3 look and a smoother feel throughout the app.

Download 2.1 here

New look and feel

  • Material 3 design throughout: bottom navigation with pill indicator, rounded menus and dialogs, a new time picker and a settings screen with a proper title bar
  • Smoother: no more rubber-band scrolling fighting pull-to-refresh, haptic feedback on navigation taps, the predictive back gesture, and messages that appear above the navigation bar
  • Native splash screen in Backloggd's colors instead of a white flash on start
  • Status and navigation bars blend into the app
  • The website's footer is gone; its links (About, Contact, Terms, Privacy…) now live under About in the menu

More new features

  • App shortcuts: long-press the app icon for Log a game, Search and Profile
  • File upload and downloads: change your avatar and download files right in the app

Fixes

  • Wishlist reminders work again. Backloggd redesigned the wishlist page, so the app stopped finding your games.
  • Follower and comment notifications get the right title instead of just "Backloggd"

Under the hood

  • Updated libraries (Material, AppCompat, Activity, WorkManager, jsoup)

Cheers to chemalr-dev for the motivation and inspiration
