- ✏️Hornet Stories: app got smalleriOS420 MB → 309 MB (-26%)
- 📦Hornet Stories updated to version 9.57.0iOSWhat did the team do this time? Rebuilt how the app starts, repainted a few rooms and got ready for iOS 27. Nobody asked us to do all three at once. We did it anyway.
- Sign in with Apple now opens the Hornet account you already have, instead of quietly creating a brand-new one. One of you is plenty.
- Your Followers, Following and Matches lists got a fresh look. Same people, nicer room.
- Reactions and likes now open in a tidy sheet you can drag up for the full list. Half a screen when you're curious, the whole screen when you're invested.
- Edit Profile stays open while it saves, and if a display name isn't allowed it tells you right there on the form. No more saving, hoping and finding out later.
- Typed the wrong password? You land back on the form you were filling in, not on a mysterious loading screen. Several of us tested this one thoroughly, and not on purpose.
- Opening the app from a notification or a link now takes you where you meant to go, even when the app is starting from scratch. We rebuilt the whole launch sequence for this. It took longer than anyone admitted in planning.
- The app is ready for iOS 27, and scrolling picked up the softer edges the newer systems like. We'd describe the effect, but it's the kind of thing you only notice when it's missing.
- Choosing a photo keeps the picker open with a polite "Please Wait" while we get it ready. If something goes wrong, you stay where you were instead of starting over.
- When our servers have a moment, the app now waits and tries again instead of wandering off to look for another one. Much calmer. We're working on being like that too.
We've also fixed bugs and improved overall performance of the app. We'll keep updating Hornet Stories to make connecting with the community faster and more reliable.… more - 🆕Hornet Stories first spotted by AppInsiderAndroidIndonesia

- 📦Hornet Stories version 9.55.0iOSThis one is mostly plumbing. We spent the sprint rebuilding the parts of the app you will never see, which is a deeply unglamorous way to spend a release. The team is fine. Mostly.
- Live badges now show up where they should and take you where you expect when you tap them. Previously they had opinions of their own.
- Fixed a crash that could happen after tapping certain ads. Rare, deeply annoying, now gone.
- Under the hood we retired a small mountain of ageing dependencies and moved the rest onto modern tooling. None of this is visible. All of it makes the app quicker to build and safer to ship. We would like exactly one person to be impressed.
