Version History This update brings a comprehensive internal modernization to Custom Boards, focusing on enhanced editing performance, memory efficiency, and seamless system integration for a smoother overall experience.

Performance and Stability
Canvas Rendering: Optimizations to the underlying layout mapping engine ensure your canvas templates align perfectly across all iPad models, keeping your absolute coordinate text, shapes, and symbol placements completely locked in.

Memory Management: Eliminated hidden internal memory leaks and retain cycles when browsing or searching extensive symbol libraries, resulting in faster load times and increased app stability during long editing sessions.

Core Refactoring: Streamlined the internal code framework to modern object property standards to ensure smoother background operation and future-proof reliability.

Sharing and Connectivity
Native Share Sheet Integration: Overhauled the app recommendation flow to use the native iOS Share Sheet. You can now effortlessly recommend the app directly through iMessage, WhatsApp, Slack, or any of your preferred communication apps instead of being forced into a legacy email template.

Universal Links: Modernized social connectivity channels, allowing support panels to directly open external community platforms seamlessly using iOS Universal Links. 6.1 Jul 9 We’ve been listening to your feedback and have packed this update with highly requested design features and major performance boosts to make creating your visual supports faster and more beautiful than ever!

Text Color Customization
Make your words pop! You can now customize the text color of your labels independently from the background color. Perfect for color-coding parts of speech or making text more accessible for visually impaired students.

New Dashed Borders & Shape Tools
Creating cut-out activities just got easier. We’ve added beautiful, high-quality dashed borders to our shape options!

Choose between solid or dashed lines for both rectangular and circular cells.

A fully redesigned border menu allows you to adjust the exact width, corner radius, and color of your borders with precision.

"Apply to All" Time Saver
No more editing cells one by one! When you design the perfect border for a symbol, you can now choose to apply that exact border style to every cell on your board with a single tap.

Modernized Editing Menus
We’ve refreshed the pop-up editing menus when you tap a cell on your canvas. It now features a clean, modern iOS design with intuitive icons, making it faster to Copy, Paste, Rotate, or apply the "Make it Not" symbol to your images.

Lightning-Fast Exporting & Performance
Under the hood, we’ve completely rebuilt the engine that powers Saving, Printing, and Emailing your boards. Generating PDFs and saving templates to your Photo Library is now smoother, faster, and more reliable than ever. We've also optimized how images render on the canvas to keep the app running lightning-fast, even on complex grids. 6.0 Jul 8 Updates to fix the text bugs and enhance to the latest iOS 5.0 09/18/2021 We are making the app available for user with older IOS 3.1 07/19/2020 We have updated to the latest iOS and updated Smarty Symbols with even more symbols! 3.0 07/12/2020 Updating in-app purchases for subscriptions 2.1 05/25/2018 Welcome to Custom Boards prime.
