Release note

Warry 1.1 is a housekeeping release

Warry 1.1 is on the App Store. It adds no features. It repairs five things that were wrong with 1.0 and puts two links on the Settings screen. One of those repairs is the difference between saying the app works offline and it actually doing so.

Version 1.0 went out on 29 December 2025. This is the first update since, and it is the unglamorous kind: nothing new to point at in a screenshot, six short lines in the release notes, and most of them an apology for something.

The App Store gives those six lines about a sentence each. What follows is the longer version of what was wrong and what changed.

The currency label that changed by itself

A saved item could show the wrong currency symbol some time after you saved it. You entered a price in one currency and the item later described it as another.

The stored number was never wrong. Only the label was. That distinction matters when you are deciding whether you have to enter everything again, and it is no comfort at all while you are looking at the screen. It is fixed: the currency you choose for an item is the currency the item keeps.

Tapping an item in the list now opens it

In My Items, tapping a row now opens that item for editing. In 1.0 it did not. The list was a list you could look at and not much else, which is a strange thing to have shipped, and there is no interesting explanation for it. The most obvious gesture in the app did nothing, and now it does what it looks like it should.

The banner was covering the bottom of the screen

Warry shows one banner ad, served by Google AdMob. It is the only third-party SDK in the app, and it is the honest answer to how a free app covers its own costs. In 1.0 the banner sat over the content at the bottom of the screen instead of beneath it, so on some screens the last of what you were reading was underneath the ad.

The layout now accounts for the banner. The ad has not moved and it has not become less of an ad; the content underneath it has been given its space back.

Photos are stored much smaller

Warry’s proof is photographs: the receipt, the warranty card, the label on the box. Photographs from a current phone camera are large. In 1.0 they were kept far closer to the size the camera produced than they needed to be, so a list with a document or two attached to every item took much more room on the device than the information in it justified.

Attached images are now compressed harder before they are stored, and the database takes far less space as a result. There is a limit to how far that can go — a receipt you cannot read is not proof of anything — so this is a trade rather than a free improvement. We think the new setting sits on the right side of the line.

The app is now fully styled offline

This is the one worth reading, because it is the one that stopped a sentence we have written on several pages from being entirely true.

Warry has no server. Nothing you enter leaves the device, there is no account, and there is nothing for us to read. That was true in 1.0 and it is true now; your data has never gone anywhere.

The app itself was less consistent about it. Part of its styling was fetched over the network at start-up instead of being carried inside the app. On a phone that had been online recently the file was already cached and nobody saw anything wrong. On a cold start with no connection — the aeroplane, the basement, the shop with no signal, which is exactly where you want to check whether a warranty has run out — the app could come up looking wrong. Unstyled or half-styled, everything in the wrong place, plainly broken at a glance.

Nothing was actually broken. The data was all there, the app worked, and closing it and opening it again with a connection put the styling back. That is what made it easy to miss and awkward to admit: not a crash and not a data loss, but one piece of the build reaching for the network out of habit, inside an app whose entire argument is that it does not need one.

An app that has to ask the network how it should look is not offline. It is online with a good cache.

That styling now ships inside the app. There is no request at start-up, so there is nothing left to fail, and a cold start in aeroplane mode looks exactly like a cold start at home. This is what “works offline” was always supposed to mean. As of 1.1 the app means it.

Privacy and support links in Settings

Settings now links to the Warry privacy policy and the support page on ozjam.com. Both pages already existed; they simply were not reachable from inside the app, so the answer to “what happens to my photographs” lived somewhere you had to go and look for. Two links are not a feature. They should have been there in 1.0.

What is still missing, on purpose

Nothing here changes the shape of the app, so the list from the 1.0 post stands exactly as it was.

  • No sync between devices. What is on your iPhone is not on your iPad.
  • No export and no backup. There is no file we can hand you and no copy we can restore.
  • No push notifications. The dashboard flags what is expiring; your phone stays quiet.
  • No accounts and no cloud. Nothing to sign in to, and nothing of yours on a computer of ours.
  • One Google AdMob banner — still the only third-party SDK in the app.

Deleting Warry still deletes everything inside it. If one of those ever changes, it will appear in a release note like this one, after it works and not before.

Where to get it, and where to write

Warry is free on the App Store for iPhone and iPad, and it needs iOS 15 or later. The App Store listing is in English; the app itself speaks English, Türkçe, Español and Deutsch.

If something is broken, the support page is the place to start, and it goes to a person. If something is missing rather than broken, write to us — the ideas that turn into the next release note come from there.
