v2.65.0 — Share & QR, Circles moderation, audio critique, easier navigation, and privacy-first ads
Our biggest update in a while: a refreshed Share experience with shareable social cards, a customizable profile QR, richer circle moderation, and timestamped audio critiques. Navigation is easier too — quick View profile from the switcher everywhere, a Submission Tracker guide, and hide-on-scroll bars. Plus privacy-first ads and a batch of reliability, notification, and layout fixes.
Our biggest update in a while — a refreshed way to share your poetry, richer circle moderation, timestamped audio feedback, easier navigation, and more ways to stay safe and in control.
Share your poetry, beautifully
A new Share experience. One tap to X, WhatsApp, Facebook, email, or your device's native share sheet — now on a roomier sheet so every option is within reach.
Social share cards. Turn any poem, list, or profile into a polished, shareable image — sized for stories (9:16), feed posts (1:1), and link previews.
Custom profile QR. Personalize your profile's QR code with styles, shapes, and colors, and save it straight to your gallery.
Getting around
Quick View profile. Open your own profile in one tap from the profile switcher — on mobile, the web drawer, and the more menu.
Submission Tracker, explained. A new info sheet walks you through how it works: Targets you send to, Attempts you log, and pieces that get Accepted.
Tidier navigation. The bottom bar tucks away as you scroll on every screen, and Back from hub destinations returns you to the Stage instead of unexpectedly leaving the app.
Circles & community
Circle moderation. Circle admins can now remove, take down, or warn on posts in their circles, and manage members.
Feedback & writing
Timestamped audio critique. Critics can pin feedback to an exact moment in an audio piece, so notes land right where they matter.
Safety & control
Content warnings. A gentle soft-reveal card now appears before mature or warning-tagged pieces (grief, trauma, violence, language, substance use, sexual themes), so you choose when to read them — and you can tune which categories you see in settings.
Privacy-first ads. The free tier now includes non-personalized ads. Personalized ads are opt-in and off by default, under-18 accounts are always non-personalized, and there's a clear “Do Not Sell or Share” control in Settings › Privacy. Stanza Pro is completely ad-free.
Notifications
Now localized in your language and grouped so bursts stay tidy, with accept/decline right from the list for follow requests and invites — and requests you've already handled now show their outcome instead of stale buttons.
Reliability & polish
Instant settings and notification toggles (no more snap-back), a fix for the daily/weekly/monthly email-digest cadence, first-run coach marks and a new How-To tab, a squashed profile-menu crash, layout fixes for small and desktop window sizes, and accessibility improvements throughout.
