Dear Players,

This is just a quick note to let you know what's coming to Plato in the next few months.

😜 Our Focus is on Fun 😜

We're doubling down on what makes Plato great: great games with great people. Our top priority is to make sure the app runs smoothly with always-reliable servers, and while we know there's still work to be done, we've dedicated the last 9 months to stability and have made significant progress in this area and continue to make this our top priority.

🏖️ Smooth Summer Updates 🏖️

This summer we're continuing to improve the look and feel of Plato. We recently released a revamped navigation bar, an improved reply interface, and a new games tab with categories and sorting, and more improvements are on the way, including the ability to search the store or your collection for a specific item.

🆕 Features

Over the next few months, we'll be rolling out a series of improvements for chat. Our goal is to make it easier to express yourself and keep in touch with those that matter most to you.

• Chat Reactions: Emojis and Stickers
• Draft Messages: Save your thoughts for later
• Friend Status: See when friends are typing, online, or last active (with privacy settings)
• Notification controls: Mute conversations for specific durations
• Plus, other small tweaks to improve your chatting experience

♠️ Games ♠️

In addition to ongoing bug fixes and improvements, this summer will bring a fresh face to Spades and a brand-new game to Plato: Truco.

🙌 Community Events 🙌

Last but not least, you can look forward to:

• Limited-time offers for everyone
• Plato Summer Sale: Huge discounts starting July 24
• Season 12 of Ranked: Get ready to compete for strange prizes
• Black August Event: Exciting surprises await

Thanks so much from our entire team for being a part of Plato. Here's to playing together and finding fun!

Until next time,

Beautiful, but deadly. Introducing Virulent Gardens, a new eerie and enchanting stage that brings your monsters into a lush, verdant landscape where beauty hides peril at every turn. You have been warned, enter if you dare. But tasty berries lie within so go on, have a bite. What's the worst that could happen?

Choose your monsters wisely as some may be stronger in their unevolved form or form teams that can harvest Berries with abilities.

Stage Settings:
-All berries are poisoned from the start of the game
-Matching poisoned berries will harm you for 5 damage
-Each match harms player for 5 health regardless of number of berries in match
-Harvesting berries through any other manner than matching does not harm player (e.g. tiles gathered by monster ability)

Original Concept by @Stache_Burns

iOS 4.3.10

This version includes two key changes:

1. Refreshed the navigation bar so Games now take center focus
2. Added support to select message text and the option to translate text with iOS system services

Additionally, we fixed a number of performance issues and glitches, including but not limited to:

• We fixed the profanity filter so it properly obfuscates bad words with ****.
• Display issues with mini profile displaying long Plato IDs and other text clipping have been resolved.
• Tournament groups no longer disappear from the home tab on turn-change.
• The stickers button is now working reliably.
• Profile pictures are now consistently displayed in the Rooms game list.
• An uncommon case where unsent messages could stack up causing a delay has been fixed.

Android 4.3.9

This update changes how Group/Room Member and Friends lists are sorted. iOS & Android now sort these lists the same (Symbols > Numbers > Letters).

Other fixes include, but are not limited to:

We fixed a glitch that could incorrectly show you were gifted or had gifted the same item multiple times.
We ensured you cannot see the username or profile pictures of someone you block in Rooms.
