Latest updates
2.7.6
A big round of bug fixes. Thanks to everyone who reported problems.
Crashes and stuck screens
"Restore default background colors" no longer breaks Lotus on layouts with an empty spot (some 3, 5 and 7 player layouts). If it happened to you, Lotus repairs itself the next time you open it. Lotus also starts normally again if some of its saved data gets damaged, and picking a new layout and then tapping Cancel no longer causes a crash.
Planechase and Archenemy
Planechase now has all 207 planes. Before, the last 32 alphabetically never showed up. Opening it without a connection no longer leaves it empty, and the planar die no longer crashes when every plane is turned off. In Archenemy, an ongoing scheme you abandon stays abandoned.
History
Deleting several games in a row now removes the ones you picked. The last life change before closing the app is kept, restarting resets the Bounty card, and games in 1-player mode no longer fill your history with empty wins. The turn counter keeps counting when the last player of a round dies on their own turn. Older games show each life change under the right player again.
Backgrounds and profiles
Cropping a photo saves exactly what you see instead of stretching it. Profiles with an emoji or an apostrophe in the name can be shared again, and loading a profile updates partner commander tax correctly. "Reset App" now really deletes your uploaded images, old background images no longer pile up on your phone, and you get a message if an image can't be saved because your storage is full.
Everything else
Card search finds names with symbols like "R&D's Secret Lair", shows the newest results when you type fast, and tells you when you're offline. Restricted cards show as restricted instead of not legal. "Toggle all" buttons work on the first tap, tapping OK twice no longer saves things twice, the Support screen shows prices as soon as they load, and you'll see far fewer "restart the game?" prompts that showed up for no reason.
Thanks for playing with Lotus!
2.7.5
GIFs you upload as a player background move again. Since last year they were saved as a still picture; now they keep playing on the card.
The keyboard is easier to close. There's a Done button above it again, and in card search you can tap Return or "View all prints" to put it away, so it no longer covers the cards you're looking at.
Under the hood, Lotus is ready for iOS 27.
Thanks for playing with Lotus!
