What's new: May Update

Greetings, Gait Scanner community! We’re excited to share all the latest improvements and features that went live with our May release. Thanks to your invaluable feedback and rigorous testing, we’ve ironed out the bugs and polished the experience. Here’s what’s new:

🔑 Key Features Delivered

1. Robust Authentication Flows

• Forgot Password & Email Verification: Redesigned screens and flows, with styled forms and corrected verification links.
• Password Validation: Instant, context-aware feedback—no more “passwords do not match” popping up prematurely.
• Registration Enhancements: Full support for Korean characters in name fields; error messages refined to “Please enter a valid name” for clarity.
• Social Sign-In:
  • Google Sign-In is now fully operational.
  • Erroneous Login Loop has been resolved—no more endless retry loops.
• Language Adaptation: The app now auto-detects and switches to your system language for a seamless experience.

2. Camera Handling & Permissions

• Stable Camera Launch: Fixed the spinner hang on first launch and ensured smooth recovery if permission is denied.
• Permission Fallback UI: Added clear messaging and fallback options when camera access isn’t granted.

3. Real-Time Gait Data & Charts

• Dynamic Graphs Restored: We’ve brought back your personalized gait-analysis charts, now populated with live user data.
• Performance Boost: Analysis runs just as quickly as before—even faster, in fact!

4. UI/UX Overhaul

• Intuitive Flow: We’ve reorganized screens for a more natural progression—from onboarding straight through to analysis.
• Action Button Redesign:
  • Relocated the “Analyze” button to a more prominent position.
  • Elevated styling, bigger touch targets, and bolder typography for instant visibility.
• Text & Layout Refinements: Added proper line breaks and typography tweaks so content reads effortlessly.

📘 User Guide in Progress

Our bilingual (Korean/English) user guide is being drafted and will be released alongside the finalized UI. Even without heavy design elements, we’re ensuring the layout—order of steps, callouts, and screenshots—is crystal-clear. Stay tuned for the PDF launch!

📆 Release Timeline

• Planned Completion: May 19
• Actual Delivery: We’re proud to have met our May 19 deadline, delivering on time thanks to the team’s weekend sprint and your diligent testing.
