Canonical page: https://ifancy.app/changelog

## Control whether a wishlist shows up in Google

September 13, 2026 · v2.7.1 · Web, iOS soon · https://ifancy.app/changelog#v2-7-1

A few weeks of changes: a new privacy setting for search engines, redesigned
wishlist cards and list switcher, and fixes to a few things people actually
hit.

### New

- Turn a wishlist's visibility to search engines on or off from Edit
  Wishlist — separate from friend search, which is now labeled "Show Me in
  Friend Search" to make the difference clear.
- First app open now shows a welcome screen instead of the old homepage.

### Improved

- Wishlist cards and the list switcher were redesigned. Suggested items from
  friends now show right in the list instead of a separate strip.
- Items without a photo show the store's own color instead of a random one,
  and hidden items are visibly faded.
- Opening the app while already signed in takes you straight to your list,
  with a way back; signing out shows a clear confirmation.
- App footer redesigned.

### Fixed

- Fixed a collaborator's editing rights and purchase visibility depending on
  which link they used to open a shared list.
- Fixed notification toggles occasionally reverting or double-firing when
  tapped quickly.
- Fixed a handful of smaller bugs around switching and renaming wishlists.

---

## Image suggestions work again

August 11, 2026 · v2.6.4 · Web, iOS · https://ifancy.app/changelog#v2-6-4

The image search we use to suggest pictures when you add an item stopped
returning results — the service behind it was retired. It runs on a new one
now, and when a search genuinely finds nothing you get a message saying so
instead of an empty box.

### Improved

- Headings across the app use a new display typeface, so titles read a little
  cleaner.

### Fixed

- Fixed the app showing a white screen on sign-in, sign-out, and sometimes on
  first open.
- Fixed notifications from a previous account still appearing after switching
  accounts.
- Fixed the alignment of the phone number field on the sign-in screen.

---

## Wishlist collaboration is here

August 7, 2026 · v2.6.0 · Web, iOS · https://ifancy.app/changelog#v2-6-0

You can now invite someone to collaborate on a wishlist. Both of you can add,
edit, and reorder items on the same list. This came from the most common
request we get: two parents keeping separate, half-overlapping lists for the
same child.

### New

- Invite a collaborator from a wishlist's Collaborators screen. Invites stay
  pending until the other person accepts, so nothing lands on their account
  uninvited.
- Pending invites show in the wishlist dropdown, and lists someone shares with
  you are marked with whose list it is.
- Remove a collaborator from their row, with a confirmation first.

### Fixed

- Fixed a typed +1 being kept alongside the country code when signing in by
  phone.
- Fixed the previous account's details lingering after switching accounts.
- Copying a wishlist link now copies the canonical share URL and tells you it
  worked.

## Support chat, and a better bug report

November 15, 2024 · v2.5.10 · Web, iOS · https://ifancy.app/changelog#v2-5-10

The last release of 2024, and mostly about hearing from you when something goes
wrong.

### New

- Support chat inside the app.

### Improved

- Feedback includes your device details, so a bug is reproducible.
- A wider wishlist dropdown, so long list names are readable.

### Fixed

- Fixed the friends list missing people because of how followers were looked up.
- Fixed prices failing to save for some items.
- Fixed the chat box being unusable on small phones.

---

## Image search when you ask for it

November 6, 2024 · v2.5.6 · Web, iOS · https://ifancy.app/changelog#v2-5-6

Image search used to run while you typed, which was noisy and rarely what you
wanted. It's a button now.

### New

- Feedback takes your email address, so a reply is possible.

### Improved

- Image search runs when you press the button.

### Fixed

- Fixed people search missing results.

---

## Helpful buttons on the link box

November 4, 2024 · v2.5.5 · Web, iOS · https://ifancy.app/changelog#v2-5-5

### Improved

- The add-an-item box suggests what to do next rather than waiting on a pasted
  link, with a little sparkle when it finds something.

### Fixed

- Fixed secure connections failing inside the app on some networks.

---

## Typing an item title, fixed

October 29, 2024 · v2.5.4 · Web, iOS · https://ifancy.app/changelog#v2-5-4

### Fixed

- Fixed an item's title dropping characters while you typed it.
- Fixed the profile checklist not marking itself complete when it was.

---

## Following a friend follows their lists

October 28, 2024 · v2.5.3 · Web, iOS · https://ifancy.app/changelog#v2-5-3

### Improved

- Adding a friend picks up the lists they've made public, instead of leaving you
  to subscribe to each one.
- Updated terms of use.

---

## Follow a friend's list

October 25, 2024 · v2.5.2 · Web, iOS · https://ifancy.app/changelog#v2-5-2

Being someone's friend told you nothing about when their list changed. Now you
can follow the list itself.

### New

- Subscribe to a wishlist and hear about new items, with a badge on lists you
  already follow.

### Improved

- Faster page loads, and better titles when a list is shared or found in search.

### Fixed

- Fixed the privacy link in the sign-up prompt going nowhere.

---

## A sharper icon

October 19, 2024 · v2.5.1 · Web, iOS · https://ifancy.app/changelog#v2-5-1

### Improved

- A new app icon and refreshed logo.

### Fixed

- Fixed the homepage video failing to play on some browsers.

---

## Push notifications are back

October 17, 2024 · v2.5.0 · Web, iOS · https://ifancy.app/changelog#v2-5-0

Notifications hadn't survived the rebuild. They work again, including while the
app is closed.

### New

- Push notifications, with the permission prompt at a moment that makes sense.
- If you said no, there's a button in Settings to turn them on later.

### Fixed

- Fixed several back buttons appearing at once.
- Fixed the tab bar and sign-in screen layouts on smaller phones.

---

## Item details that fit on a phone

October 3, 2024 · v2.4.0 · Web, iOS · https://ifancy.app/changelog#v2-4-0

A round of work on the item screen, mostly aimed at phones, where a long title
used to take over everything else.

### Improved

- Long item titles collapse on a phone instead of pushing the rest of the item
  off screen.
- Notification permission is asked for at a point where it makes sense, rather
  than on first launch.
- Your email address is no longer shown on your profile.

### Fixed

- Fixed a title that failed to save doing so silently — you get an error now.
- Fixed pasting a link into the item box failing in some cases.
- Fixed "suggested by" not loading who suggested an item.

---

## A search tab that behaves

September 25, 2024 · v2.3.3 · Web, iOS · https://ifancy.app/changelog#v2-3-3

Six weeks of work on the parts of the app you touch constantly — searching,
switching tabs, and getting back out again.

### New

- Search is its own tab: search for people, press enter, and leave the keyboard
  without losing your place.
- Friends you visit often stay in reach in the tab bar.

### Improved

- Your friends list is sorted alphabetically.
- Signed-out visitors get a sensible page instead of an empty one.
- Sharing a link into iFancy from another app says what went wrong when it can't
  read it.

### Fixed

- Fixed navigation getting stuck when moving between tabs.
- Fixed the delay before a profile page appeared.
- Fixed the close button missing from Settings.

---

## iFancy replaces WishRoll on the App Store

August 6, 2024 · v2.3.2 · Web, iOS · https://ifancy.app/changelog#v2-3-2

The rebuilt app is on the iPhone. If you had WishRoll, this is the same account
and the same lists under a new name.

### New

- iFancy on the iOS App Store.

---

## Preparing for the App Store

July 30, 2024 · v2.3.0 · Web · https://ifancy.app/changelog#v2-3-0

The work that took the rebuilt app through review: the requirements Apple asks
for, and the fixes that came out of testing it as an app rather than a website.

### Improved

- Account deletion, data handling, and permissions all meet what the App Store
  requires.

---

## Delete your account

July 25, 2024 · v2.2.0 · Web · https://ifancy.app/changelog#v2-2-0

### New

- Delete your account, and everything on it, from Settings.

### Fixed

- Fixed a cross-origin error that could stop the app loading for some people.

---

## Install it from the browser

July 24, 2024 · v2.1.0 · Web · https://ifancy.app/changelog#v2-1-0

### New

- iFancy installs to your home screen from the browser, no app store involved.
- A prompt asking what you think, once you've added a few things — early enough
  to be useful, late enough to be fair.

### Improved

- A new account opens with the search field focused and an add-friends button,
  instead of an empty screen with nothing to do.
- Uploading a profile picture is part of the setup checklist.

### Fixed

- Fixed image uploads failing on large photos.
- Fixed signing out leaving traces of the previous account behind.

---

## Better at reading Amazon links

May 19, 2024 · v2.0.1 · Web · https://ifancy.app/changelog#v2-0-1

### Improved

- Product links resolve more often, Amazon's in particular, and fall back to the
  page title instead of an empty item when a shop blocks us.

---

## WishRoll becomes iFancy

April 9, 2024 · v2.0.0 · Web · https://ifancy.app/changelog#v2-0-0

A new name and a rebuilt app. Everything you had is still here — the same
lists, friends, and purchases — on a version that loads a list in one pass
instead of three.

### New

- One tab bar across the whole app, so wishlists, friends, search, and
  notifications are a tap apart.
- Search for people from a page of its own.
- An emoji picker for naming a list.

### Improved

- Items show their image, price, and whether their link still works, on the item
  itself.
- Profiles get an avatar and a header you can set.
- Purchase counts stay hidden from people who aren't signed in or aren't
  friends.

---

## See who bought what — when it's safe to show it

November 25, 2023 · v1.15.x · Web, iOS · https://ifancy.app/changelog#v1-15-x

The last WishRoll update, November 2023. It shipped on top of 1.15.0 without a
version bump of its own, and it settled how purchases work: hidden from you on
your own list, and revealed on a date you choose.

### New

- Purchases can be disclosed to the list owner on a date you pick — after the
  birthday, after Christmas — rather than never.
- The purchased badge says who bought it, so two people can't buy the same
  thing.
- Profile avatars.
- Items show when they were added, and profiles show when someone was last
  active.

### Improved

- A new profile header with the actions where you'd expect them.
- Purchase information is hidden from people who aren't signed in.

### Fixed

- Fixed relationship badges showing on other people's friends lists.
- Fixed scrollbar colours in dark surfaces.

---

## Add to your list from any app

November 15, 2022 · v1.15.0 · Web, iOS · https://ifancy.app/changelog#v1-15-0

The biggest WishRoll release: you stop copying links between apps, because the
share sheet does it for you.

### New

- Share a product to WishRoll from any app and it becomes an item.
- A setup checklist for a new profile, so a half-finished account doesn't stay
  that way.
- Image suggestions based on an item's title, for links with no usable picture.
- Confetti and a little haptic feedback when you mark something purchased.

### Improved

- Marking purchased and adding a friend update immediately instead of waiting on
  the server.
- Purchased items sink to the bottom of a list, and each item shows the shop its
  link points at.
- Uploading an item image is faster, and you can clear one you don't want.

### Fixed

- Fixed links shared from other apps often failing to parse.
- Fixed the review prompt appearing before you'd rated anything.

---

## A tidier link box

November 1, 2022 · v1.14.0 · Web, iOS · https://ifancy.app/changelog#v1-14-0

### New

- A clear button on the link box, and the link actions moved to where your
  thumb already is.
- A reminder to finish a profile that's been left half-set-up.

---

## A nudge when a list has gone stale

October 25, 2022 · v1.13.0 · Web, iOS · https://ifancy.app/changelog#v1-13-0

### New

- A list that hasn't been touched in a long time says so on the profile, with
  the option to archive what's out of date.
- Feedback can be typed straight into the page instead of opening a form.

---

## Suggest something for someone else

October 19, 2022 · v1.11.1 · Web, iOS · https://ifancy.app/changelog#v1-11-1

### New

- Suggest an item for a friend's list. They decide whether it goes on.

---

## Archive, instead of delete

September 21, 2022 · v1.11.0 · Web, iOS · https://ifancy.app/changelog#v1-11-0

Lists collect things you've stopped wanting. Deleting them loses the history;
now you can put them away instead.

### New

- Archive an item, and an archive page to find archived things again.

### Improved

- Archived items keep the order you had them in.

---

## A notifications inbox

January 20, 2022 · v1.10.0 · Web, iOS · https://ifancy.app/changelog#v1-10-0

Notifications had been arriving one at a time with nowhere to see them
together. They now have a home, and lists finally look like something when you
share them.

### New

- A notifications screen, with a button to dismiss all of them at once, and a
  bell that animates when something arrives.

### Improved

- The purchased badge stays readable on items whose image has a transparent
  background.
- Affiliate links are disclosed where they appear.

### Fixed

- Fixed notifications not refreshing once you'd read them.
- Fixed the preview image on a shared list often failing to generate.
- Fixed broken item images on some retailers.

---

## Deleting something is no longer final

October 18, 2021 · v1.8.0 · Web, iOS · https://ifancy.app/changelog#v1-8-0

### Improved

- Deleted items and lists are kept rather than destroyed, so an accidental
  delete can be undone.

---

## On the App Store, with push notifications

October 15, 2021 · v1.7.0 · Web, iOS · https://ifancy.app/changelog#v1-7-0

WishRoll on the iPhone, and the release that made it worth keeping open: you
hear about it when something happens on your list.

### New

- Push notifications.
- The app asks permission before any tracking, and works fine if you say no.

### Improved

- Pasting a product link fills the item in as results arrive, instead of sitting
  still until everything is ready.

### Fixed

- Fixed the tab bar starting on the wrong tab.

---

## Apple sign-in keeps your name

October 13, 2021 · v1.6.1 · Web · https://ifancy.app/changelog#v1-6-1

### Fixed

- Fixed accounts created with Sign in with Apple losing the name Apple provided,
  leaving profiles blank.

---

## Links open the app

October 12, 2021 · v1.6.0 · Web · https://ifancy.app/changelog#v1-6-0

### New

- Tapping a link to a list opens it in the app when you have it installed,
  landing on the list itself rather than the home screen.

### Fixed

- Fixed being redirected to the wrong screen after signing in.
- Fixed a loop that could leave the app stuck with no signed-in user.

---

## Groundwork for links that open the app

October 10, 2021 · v1.5.0 · Web · https://ifancy.app/changelog#v1-5-0

Setup for handing a wishroll.com link to the installed app instead of the
browser. The behaviour itself lands two days later in 1.6.

### Fixed

- Fixed hidden items occasionally appearing where they shouldn't.

---

## Put your list in the order you want

October 9, 2021 · v1.4.0 · Web · https://ifancy.app/changelog#v1-4-0

### New

- Reorder the items on your list by dragging them.
- Share a single item, rather than the whole list.
- An empty friends list explains what to do about it.

### Improved

- The link box was tidied up.

---

## Your profile, your name

October 8, 2021 · v1.3.0 · Web · https://ifancy.app/changelog#v1-3-0

### New

- Change your display name.
- Share and profile actions sit together at the top of a profile, including the
  colour picker.

### Fixed

- Fixed the action buttons overlapping on narrow phones.

---

## 1.0 — out of the long beta

October 7, 2021 · v1.1.0 · Web · https://ifancy.app/changelog#v1-1-0

A version number that admits the app is real. Sign in with Apple works on the
web too, not just in the app.

### New

- Sign in with Apple on the web.

### Fixed

- Fixed being unable to mark some items purchased.
- Fixed a delay before a newly added friend appeared.

---

## Search, and blocking

October 6, 2021 · v0.0.44 · Web · https://ifancy.app/changelog#v0-0-44

### New

- Search for people by name.
- Block someone, from their profile.
- Items only you can see now say so on the item itself, so you can tell at a
  glance what a visitor would be seeing.

### Fixed

- Fixed copying a share link doing nothing on a phone.

---

## Terms, and a pile of small fixes

October 6, 2021 · v0.0.49 · Web · https://ifancy.app/changelog#v0-0-49

### New

  a message.

---

## Sign in with Apple

October 5, 2021 · v0.0.43 · Web · https://ifancy.app/changelog#v0-0-43

### New

- Sign in with Apple.

### Improved

- Page transitions throughout.

### Fixed

- Fixed error messages left over from a previous action staying on screen.

---

## A new backend, and a header in your colour

October 3, 2021 · v0.0.40 · Web · https://ifancy.app/changelog#v0-0-40

The app moved onto new infrastructure — mostly invisible, except that lists and
friends load quicker.

### New

- Pick the colour of your profile header.

### Improved

- Friends load from a shared cache instead of being fetched again on every
  screen.
- Deleting an item now deletes its image too, rather than leaving it behind.

### Fixed

- Fixed who-can-see-this filtering not being applied in every place it should
  be.

---

## A faster start

June 27, 2021 · v0.0.39 · Web · https://ifancy.app/changelog#v0-0-39

### Improved

- The loading screen appears sooner and clears faster, so opening the app no
  longer looks like nothing is happening.

### Fixed

- Fixed sign-in by text message inside the app.

---

## Signing in, rebuilt

June 26, 2021 · v0.0.37 · Web · https://ifancy.app/changelog#v0-0-37

Authentication was the part of the app most likely to leave you stuck. It was
rebuilt from scratch, including the phone-number sign-in that the iPhone app
would need.

### Improved

- Sign-in handles being interrupted, backgrounded, or retried without losing
  your place.
- A new app icon.

### Fixed

- Fixed sign-in failing inside the packaged app.

---

## Tell us when something breaks

December 2, 2020 · v0.0.36 · Web · https://ifancy.app/changelog#v0-0-36

### New

- Send feedback from inside the app, so a problem doesn't have to become an
  email.

### Improved

- Errors are now reported automatically, which is how most of the fixes in the
  next few releases got found.

---

## Prices you can type properly

November 5, 2020 · v0.0.34 · Web · https://ifancy.app/changelog#v0-0-34

### Improved

- The price field accepts what you actually type, decimals included.
- Adding an item shows real progress while the link is fetched and the image
  uploads.

### Fixed

- Fixed the image upload overlay covering the wrong part of the screen.

---

## Choosing what a link found

October 24, 2020 · v0.0.31 · Web · https://ifancy.app/changelog#v0-0-31

### New

- When a product link offers several titles or images, you pick which one the
  item uses.

### Fixed

- Fixed the purchased state displaying incorrectly on some items.
- Fixed flickering while scrolling a long list.
- Fixed a modal that could open taller than the screen.

---

## The purchased badge

October 11, 2020 · v0.0.26 · Web · https://ifancy.app/changelog#v0-0-26

### New

- Items someone has bought carry a purchased badge, so the next person looking
  at the list doesn't buy it twice. The list's owner never sees it.

### Improved

- The item screen was reworked around it.

---

## Rebuilt navigation, and your own photos

September 28, 2020 · v0.0.24 · Web · https://ifancy.app/changelog#v0-0-24

Moving between a list, a profile, and settings had been the roughest part of
the app. It was rebuilt, and image upload came with it.

### New

- Upload your own picture for an item when the link doesn't have a good one.

### Improved

- Navigation between screens keeps its place instead of resetting.

---

## A proper card for the link you pasted

September 15, 2020 · v0.0.23 · Web · https://ifancy.app/changelog#v0-0-23

### Improved

- The item screen shows what a link resolved to as a card, so you can tell at a
  glance whether it found the right product.
- Softer corners throughout.

---

## Groundwork for a real app

September 8, 2020 · v0.0.20 · Web · https://ifancy.app/changelog#v0-0-20

The web app got the plumbing it needs to be packaged as an iPhone app. Nothing
visible yet — the App Store release comes a year later — but this is where it
starts.

### Fixed

- Fixed the notes field growing oddly and dragging the page with it.

---

## No add button on someone else's list

August 4, 2020 · v0.0.19 · Web · https://ifancy.app/changelog#v0-0-19

### Fixed

- Fixed an add-item button appearing on other people's profiles, where it had
  nothing to add to.

---

## Navigation that feels native

July 24, 2020 · v0.0.15 · Web · https://ifancy.app/changelog#v0-0-15

### Improved

- The tab bar blurs what's behind it and screens transition the way they do in
  an iPhone app, rather than snapping between pages.

### Fixed

- Fixed marking an item purchased not sticking.
- Fixed a signed-out visitor being bounced away when they tried to mark
  something purchased, instead of being asked to sign in.

---

## Lists that preview when you send them

July 20, 2020 · v0.0.12 · Web · https://ifancy.app/changelog#v0-0-12

Sending someone your list produced a bare URL in the message. It now unfurls
with a title and description like any other link.

### New

- Link previews for a shared wishlist.
- A login and signup button in the footer for people arriving from a shared
  link.

### Improved

- Notes on an item moved to the top of the form, where people were looking for
  them.

### Fixed

- Fixed the friends list failing to load.
- Fixed several routing problems that could strand you on the wrong screen.

---

## The first release, as WishRoll

July 16, 2020 · v0.0.2 · Web · https://ifancy.app/changelog#v0-0-2

The first public version, under the name WishRoll. You could make a list, add
things to it by pasting a link, and let other people mark items off without the
list's owner finding out.

### New

- Make a wishlist and add items to it.
- Paste a product link to fill in an item, with buttons to pick between what the
  page offers.
- Mark someone's item as purchased. The person whose list it is doesn't see it.
- Sign in with Google.
- A settings page, and a changelog inside the app.

### Fixed

- Fixed signing in with Google failing on phones by redirecting instead of
  opening a popup.
- Fixed image upload on iOS.
