3.2.7 14/10/2025
This week's is not a huge update, but let that not convince you it's unimportant. They can't all be red-letter days (or updates), but each day we're here is a good one. This update is a good one too.
3.2.3 26/08/2025

3.2.2 17/08/2025
Classic duck behavior this week: graceful on top, paddling like crazy underneath. This update’s all about invisible improvements - bug fixes, smoother flows, and subtle tweaks that will make you fall in love with Reco a little bit more.
3.2.1 03/08/2025
Oops! We fixed a few pesky bugs and gave the app a little tune-up. Thanks for sticking with us!!
3.2 21/07/2025
We have an announcement!!!
You can now save spots straight to Reco directly from Instagram and TikTok!!!
No more digging through your camera roll or trying to remember what that cool place was called.
Your Notes app is shaking.
OH and the long awaited Trip Itinerary feature is also live! Build itineraries, map out your plans, and get rid of those spreadsheets!
And while we were at it:
• You can now react to comments with emojis. (Because words are hard!)
• Friend requests are live! Add your people, swap your recs, repeat.
• Faster load times (we hate the spinny wheel, too)
• And of course, squashed some bugs.
But wait! There’s more:
• A new profile menu that doesn’t make you guess where things are
• Bring your friends with our new referral tool (good friends don’t gate keep!)
• A refreshed Explore page to help you find your next favorite place faster
Lastly, we rebranded and gosh we needed it.
Loving Reco just got easier!!

3.0.5 21/06/2025
Bugs? Squashed. Speed? Boosted. Syncing? Smooth as butter.
If you were a victim of the “is it me or the app?” phase... it was us. Fixed now, and we appreciate you BIG time!
3.0.4 07/05/2025
Big updates, small bugs, and a few things you didn’t know you needed.
Friend requests: You can now officially add friends. Because stalking their map anonymously was getting weird.
Photos, notes, and comments: Pins just got chatty. Add a photo, drop a thought, or leave a “trust me, get the fries.”
Tutorial: A quick walkthrough for anyone new (or pretending they’ve known how to use the app this whole time).
Multiple categories per pin: Finally, your favorite rooftop sushi brunch karaoke bar doesn’t have to choose a single identity.
Bug fixes: We cleaned up a few things. Nothing dramatic, just tidier under the hood.
More to come. In the meantime, go pin something worth talking about!

3.0.2 13/04/2025
Nothing flashy, just the good kind of behind-the-scenes magic. Think of this update like the stage crew at a concert—working quietly in the background so the show runs perfectly.
Swiping between locations? No more clicking back & forth between pins
Deleting a list? Delete what you don’t need, and keep things tidy.
A round of bug squashing to keep everything running like it should.
Not a front-page update, but one that makes everything feel just right. More exciting things are in the works—stay tuned!
3.0.1 05/03/2025
More than just ironing out wrinkles, we took Reco to the highest-rated Rec for Dry Cleaners! With a complete overhaul of Reco’s backend, you will experience faster load times, background syncing, offline mode, and personal profile photos as we help you become more social with your recs. There is still some cleanup, but this is laying the groundwork for many long-awaited features. Here’s a little bit more techy of what’s new:
An entire new backend, along with optimized data structures and REST calls
Personalized Profile Photos - Upload your profile photo to find your friend easier
User Suggested Tags - Not seeing the tag you need? Suggest it → well quickly review it & add it
Pin Search - Trying to find your pin? Search by name on Profile
Location Search - Looking in a specific neighborhood? Search East Hollywood or Fulton Market
3.0 19/02/2025
Just over here ironing out the wrinkles! Here’s what’s new in Reco:
Location Search Expanded: Go beyond cities—search neighborhoods, parks, and landmarks to plan every detail.
Pins, But Better: See everything at a glance—"I’ve Been Here" icons, friends’ visits, and category tags, all cleaned up.
Lists Made Simple: Update, reorganize, and rename your custom lists in seconds. Now with emojis enabled
Map or List? You Decide: Quickly toggle between views for easier planning, wherever you are.
Bug Fixes: Resolved issues with pinning from Explore and Profile tabs for smoother navigation.
More updates are on the way. Until then, happy exploring and organizing!
2.1.4 27/01/2025
Big news? Maybe not. Big improvements? Absolutely. Here’s what’s new in Reco:
Expanded Tags: Because sometimes, one tag just isn’t enough. Get hyper-specific with your searches and discover exactly what you’re craving, from dog-friendly patios to underground speakeasies.
Refreshed Profile Tab: Just a little haircut nothing major.
New Unit Selection: Kilometers or miles? Your choice. Reco speaks your language of distance.
Expanded Counties: Calling all users! (Literally.) We’ve fixed those pesky phone number issues. Call, share, and connect without a hitch.
UI Cleanup and Filters Expanded: Pretty and practical—our design team tidied things up and made filters work across all listings. Explore effortlessly.
No big fixes to mention this time, but plenty of elbow grease went into making your Reco experience that much better. Thanks for following along!
2.1.3 15/12/2024
Uncovering hidden gems just got easier! Reco’s enhanced search feature allows you to browse by category and refine results with multiple tags, making finding exactly what you need simple. Whether you’re looking for tacos on a patio for an upcoming girls' trip or a cozy bar with live jazz in your town, top picks from our community are just one quick search away.
Explore the update to start finding your perfect place every time!
Some key new features detail our filter expansion, rich location cards for easy preview, reorganized our pins detail view, & a cleaner profile tab.
2.1.2 28/11/2024
No fireworks or confetti moments today. But trust, the work is happening, like the backstage crew prepping for the next big scene. We’re quietly laying the groundwork for what’s to come... In this build, we have a few bug fixes, performance improvements, and a view to help you add tags to your old pins.
2.1.1 30/10/2024
Reco is back! (And dare we say better than ever…)
We’ve been a bit quiet lately and we appreciate everyone who checked in to make sure Reco was still alive and breathing. Good news–we’ve been working hard behind the scenes to create even better ways to save and share the places you love and want to try.
Your celebrity crush (or let’s face it, your ex) might not pay attention when you slide into their DMs, but we’re all ears! Thanks to your feedback and suggestions, our latest update is packed with new, highly requested features:
* Search by tags. Find exactly what you’re looking for faster by searching tags (ex. “Sushi” instead of just “food”)
* Global access. No matter where you are, Reco is now available worldwide!
* Custom lists. Create a list for any occasion–date night, coffee breaks, Paris adventures and more.
* Share and copy lists. Easily share your recommendations with a click of a button or copy your friends’ lists directly to your profile.
* I’ve been there. Our most requested feature is finally here! Mark places you’ve visited and filter your lists to see the places you’ve been at a glance.
Thank you for your continued support! Stay tuned for more exciting updates coming soon by following us on social media: @myrecoapp

1.0.5 Aug 28/08/2023
As one of the first Reco users, you got to experience the first version of our app! It was fun while it lasted. But if less-than-smooth app experiences aren’t your thing (they certainly aren’t ours!) then we’ve got great news for you…
We did a major bug fix! This update brings you a new, smoother Reco experience, including:
⁃ Easier international pinning
⁃ Even more geographically organized on both the map and lists
⁃ Speed optimization
⁃ And by popular demand, you can now send a pin!
Thank you for believing in Reco and cheering us on as we figure out this whole building an app thing!
Happy pinning!
