  • Android users can download the APK on GitHub or Zapstore. iOS and Play Store versions will be available after they get approved.

What's new

  • Fiat symbol display. Instead of showing fiat currency as text (USD, EUR etc.), the app now displays the currency symbol (e.g. $) in the appropriate position.
  • Optimized global contexts. Reduced unnecessary page re-renders to improve performance and decrease screen loading delays.
  • Improved connection to node to reduce the initial connection time for faster loading time.
  • Transaction sorting using a max-heap sorting algorithm for lower memory usage.
  • Database freeze fix. The app previously froze for about 1 second during database write actions, but this issue has been resolved, improving the user experience.
  • Send Max button fix. The logic for calculating the maximum Liquid to Lightning swap amount via the Send Max option has been improved.
  • Authentication update. Removed dependency on Firebase App Check, ensuring better compatibility with Huawei devices.
  • UI Enhancements. Minor styling improvements for a cleaner and more consistent user interface.
  • General bug fixes, performance enhancements and stability improvements.
