v1.3 Is Live
Klew for iOS v1.3 is on the App Store. v1.2 gave your solving a shape you could watch grow: points, a skill rating, a home screen that fills in as you go. v1.3 adds the part that makes it social. Now you can see how your solve stacks up against everyone else's.
Every Puzzle Has a Leaderboard
Finish a puzzle and the leaderboard is right there on the redesigned finish screen: the fastest solvers, your own time, and how you landed against the field.
No more closing the puzzle and digging back in to find it. The thing you actually want after a good solve, who was quickest and how you did, is the first thing you see.
A Crown for the Fastest Solve
Post the fastest time on a puzzle and you get a crown. It is the small, loud moment a fast solve always deserved and never got.
Beat your own record on a size and you get a personal best, too. Two reasons to push a little harder on tomorrow's mini.
Climb the Standings
There is a new global Standings screen, reachable from your Profile under Leaderboards. It ranks solvers by skill rating, the same rating that climbs as you take on bigger, tougher grids and solve them clean.
It is the long game next to the daily one: not just today's time, but where your solving sits over weeks of play.
You Choose to Be Seen
Leaderboards are opt-in. You decide whether your times show up publicly, with a single tap when you want in, or you stay private and the boards are just for you. Either way, you always see your own results.
Also in This Release
A few more things worth naming:
- Your weekly recap now shows your current rating, not just how it moved this week. Open Your Week in Klew to see where you stand.
- A solve finished on one device now shows as completed everywhere. Solve on your iPhone, open it on your iPad, and it correctly reads as done.
- Streaks reset correctly when you miss a day. A lapsed streak no longer lingers as a stale number.
Try It
Update to v1.3 on the App Store. Solve today's mini, watch where your time lands, and go chase a crown on the 5x5. Then come back tomorrow and defend it.
Klew is built in Charleston, South Carolina, for solvers who care about a clean grid.
