| Summary | 0011802: Show "What's new" on app store page | ||||
| Description | As a user of the wallet app, I would like to know what the updates are in new versions. Currently, I just see that a new version is available and am asked to upgrade. There is no transparency about what the upgrade is about - if it fixes bugs and what improvements or new features it contains. After the upgrade, there is no information either. I find it hard to find the release notes online. It's a blackbox. In F-Droid for example, some apps show version-specific updates in a What's New box. Technically, this data comes from the metadata folder in the app's repository, typically in files named like com.example.app.yml with a WhatisNew: field. Providing this information to users brings transparency, informs about the progress of the app, is a promotion for Taler Wallet and helps users to better decide if they should update immediately or if it can be done later. Overall it improves user experience and promotes trust in Taler Wallet. Experienced with the update to version 1.6.8 (fdroid 997) | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | 1. Open app store, e.g. F-Droid. 2. Check app page => no version-specific updates available | ||||
| Additional Information | Check if it applies to iOS too and change the category accordingly. Please add version 1.6 to the product version selection field here in Mantis. Thank you. | ||||
