Fateen 1.3 for iPhone

Public rooms, twelve animated emotes, a new How to play with a practice round, new kinds of questions, an inbox and a new set of sounds.

Fateen 1.3 is on the App Store for iPhone. Here’s what’s new.

What’s new

New Public rooms. Tap “Play with everyone” on home to jump into a Party Quiz with players anywhere, or open a room anyone can join without a code.
New Emotes. React in any game with twelve animated emotes, from the key at the top of the screen: each one pops over your avatar for everyone in the room.
New A new How to play. Say who’s playing and it points you to the right game, shows each mode in a short preview, and lets you try the Party Quiz in a practice round.
New New kinds of questions. Code in the programming categories, formulas in Mathematics, a footballer’s clubs in Player Careers, a map in Country Hunt where you tap where the city is, and a line of poetry with a word missing in Classical Arabic Poetry.
New Watch a game that’s on. Join a room whose game has started and you watch it, then play the next one.
New Your home country. Pick it in your profile for more questions from where you’re from.
New An inbox. Messages from us wait in the inbox on home, to read when you like.
New New sounds. A new set of sound effects for every key and moment, and a speaker key on every game screen that mutes them in one tap.

Changed Hints come with the answer’s shape. The Hint lifeline shows the written clue, with the answer’s first letter and length under it.
Changed What’s missing before you start. Tap Start too soon and the host sees what’s still missing.
Changed Time’s up counts what you typed. In the Party Quiz, when time runs out, what’s in the answer box goes in as your answer.
Changed A room plays in its host’s language. Questions come in the host’s questions language, so the lobby no longer asks.
Changed Party Quiz cards name the category only. A question’s card no longer says how hard it is.

Fixed Party Quiz on iPad. It no longer crashes, and the category picker no longer freezes.
Fixed Leaderboard scrolling. Rows stay put when you scroll down and back up.
Fixed Home on narrow iPhones. Home cards keep their titles whole.
Fixed Emote countdown. While your emote plays, its countdown ring fits inside the emote key.
Fixed Messages after a language switch. Change the app’s language and the messages on home and in the inbox change with it at once.
