# StepSmash Release 1.9.0 ### New Features - #### Profile Stats - Your profile now includes stats for your play history. - See your total games played, win rate, and games won. - See games by type, including Smash Bingo, Step Challenge, Weekend Warriors, Workweek Hustle, and Bingo Blitz. - See tiles flipped by activity type, including steps, active minutes, and distance. - See the people you compete against most often. - You can also control who can see your stats in Settings → Privacy by choosing Public (everyone) or Friends only. - #### Lifetime Smash Bingo badges - New badges celebrate your all-time tile flips in Smash Bingo. - Earn badges for flipping 10, 50, 150, 500, or 1,500 tiles in each activity type: steps, active minutes, and distance. - Progress carries across all of your games. - #### Smash Bingo Bonus Improvements - We’ve improved the bonus experience in Smash Bingo. - You can now save bonuses for later and easily see all unused bonuses you’ve earned in each game. - We’ve also polished the bonus flow with updated animations and effects, making it clearer when a bonus is used and what happens next. - #### Block user accounts - You can now block other user accounts in StepSmash. Blocking a user will: - Immediately remove them from your friends list if you were already friends - Hide nearly all profile details for both users, with only the name and profile picture still visible - Prevent either user from sending the other a friend request - Allow you to still appear in the same games, but chat will be muted between you so you cannot communicate - ### Performance and reliability improvements - The Smash Bingo tile grid now loads much faster, especially on Android devices. - We’ve made significant under-the-hood changes that should result in the app feeling more responsive and smoother as you use it. ### Bug Fixes - Fixed an issue preventing accurate syncing of steps from Samsung Health - Fixed the profile screen sometimes not scrolling properly. - Fixed login errors disappearing before you could read them. - Fixed an issue where badge screens had a grammatical error. ---
