Q2 2025

Optimizations & fixes

  1. Release version 6: Built on React Native’s new architecture to improve app performance and stability. Version 6 delivers a faster, smoother, and more responsive app experience.
  2. Automatic app refresh: The app homepage now auto-refreshes each time you open the app, loading the latest design updates, shopping cart status, and product page. This ensures users always see the most current content and enjoy a seamless shopping experience.
