What's New in Aklaim

• Custom shows with accented titles — adding a show whose title contains an accent, an umlaut or quotation marks would fail to save, however many times you tried. These now save first time, and if a save ever does fail you'll see the reason rather than a generic "please try again".
• Manage your custom shows from your phone — tap the ⋯ button beside any show in Custom Shows to edit its details or delete it. These controls were previously reachable only on desktop.

• Custom shows and photo uploads fixed — creating a custom show or adding a photo to a moment could fail with "Failed to save. Please try again." Saving now works first time — including custom show posters and profile pictures — and the fix reaches everyone automatically, no app update needed.

• Next Show on your home screen — a new widget for iOS and Android counts down to your next booked show with its poster, venue and seat. Add it from your widget gallery — tapping it takes you straight to your Upcoming list. A Premium feature.
• Smoother app opens — opening the app from a link no longer flashes a paywall or sign-in prompt while your account loads.

• Show dates now land on the right day — dates across Home, show pages, your upcoming list and stats could appear one day early if you're outside the UK. Every date now matches the day on your ticket, wherever you are.
• Countdowns you can trust — days-to-go badges now count to the actual show date, and a show stays "upcoming" for the whole of its own day instead of slipping into the past the evening before.
• Watch years show the right year — shows logged with just a year (say, "watched in 2024") no longer display the year before in some regions.
• Custom posters upload again — adding your own poster to a show works reliably again.

News

• Theatre news, in your feed — cast announcements, openings, reviews and breaking news now surface alongside friend activity. Tap the new News chip to focus on them.
• Read in place — tap Read more on any story to expand the full piece inside the feed, no detour and no lost scroll position.
• One-tap share — every story has a share button to send it on.

• Tidier home screen — your Wishlist and Recently Watched rails now scroll sideways with neater cards, so more of your collection is visible at a glance on phones.

Moments

• Aklaim Score leaderboard — and a fresh feed that bundles burst posts from the same show together, so busy nights don't drown your followers.
• Emoji reactions — react to a Moment with up to three emoji.
• First time / rewatch badges — every Moment shows whether it was your first visit or a rewatch, counted from your attendance history.
• Reviews are now optional for future performances. — Tag a show you're about to see without being forced to rate it, then get a gentle post-show nudge to leave your review.
• Up Next card — surfaces upcoming Moments on your home screen (Premium).
• Photo editing — add or remove photos on a Moment after posting.
• Paginated feeds — and a smoother composer — only Moments with actual content show up in feeds.
• Achievements v2 — a bigger set of achievements with rarity tiers.

Platform

• Android App Links — tapping an Aklaim URL on Android now opens the app directly.
• Tablet polish — modals and page layouts hold up better on larger screens.

• Moments — a social diary for theatre. Post a photo, tag the show and performance, add a review. Moments appear on your profile, show pages, and your friends' feeds.
• Custom shows (Premium) — track a show that isn't in our catalogue yet. Add it yourself, keep it private or share it.
• Share-to-stories — cinema-card design for posting your Moments to Instagram and TikTok stories.
• Wrapped, reimagined — an immersive dark-themed Wrapped experience with richer stats and phone-frame screenshots.
• One app, everywhere — Aklaim now runs on iOS, Android, and the web, with the same experience across all three.
