LORE

Changelog

What's new in Lore.

4.2

September 2026

  • More from Zone7 Studios. Settings gains a page of our other apps, and Share this app sends a Lore link to anyone you like.
  • About links the privacy, terms and support pages, the Lore website and the open-source licences.
  • A round has a close button at the top left, and closing it or pressing Back takes you to where you started it.
  • When you cast, the question board stays inside the TV picture, long questions included.

4.1

September 2026

  • A bigger bank. The question bank more than doubles, from 500 to 1200, across all ten categories and all four shelves.
  • The shelves. Home shows each category as a shelf tile lettered E, M, H or E for Easy, Medium, Hard and Expert, coloured in as you clear them, with a small legend so the colours make sense at a glance.
  • A new Stats page keeps score per category and shelf, so you can see exactly what is left to play.
  • On a keyboard and mouse, every screen has a visible focus ring and a sensible starting point, and Escape works the way you would expect throughout.
  • The Cast line in Settings opens Google's Cast privacy policy.
  • We receive anonymous usage stats. The privacy page says what they are.

3.6

August 2026

  • Better with a remote. On an Android TV, Tonight's Round stays put when you select it, and every screen gives the remote a sensible place to start.
  • Settings on a TV shows only what a TV can do.
  • Bug fixes and stability improvements.

3.5

August 2026

  • Music on the big screen. Cast a round and the soundtrack comes out of the TV, so the music fills the room while your phone stays the controller.
  • Picking a bed in Settings is immediate: tap one and it plays on the spot.

3.3

July 2026

  • Lore opens with a brief Zone7 Studios ident, a couple of seconds of curtain up before the shelves appear. One tap skips it, and it does not play when you come back mid-session.
  • Lore is up to date for Android 16.

3.2

July 2026

  • Any way you hold it. Play in landscape on a tablet, a phone on a stand or a foldable half-open, and a round in progress keeps its timer and its music when you turn the screen.
  • The layout keeps clear of notches and navigation bars either way up.

3

July 2026

  • Round music. Rounds have a soundtrack: Study Hall's warm lo-fi, Game Night's light quiz-show pulse, and Aurora's ambient shimmer, looping quietly under the questions for as long as you think.
  • Pick one in Settings and it previews on the spot, or switch it off and keep the room to yourself.
  • Answers speak too, with a warm chime when you are right and a gentle kalimba when you are not.

2

July 2026

  • The Easy shelf. Every category gains a fourth, gentler shelf: Easy, warm and familiar questions for winding down or playing with family.
  • Every category is free at Easy, and five are free at Medium.
  • Casting to your TV is free for everyone.
  • Timed mode gains a soft ticking clock.
  • Lore is built for Google TV too.
  • You can leave a round at any time and step back to the shelves.

1

July 2026

  • The first release. Ten categories, three difficulty shelves, Tonight's Round, and a question library that keeps growing.
  • Untimed by default, with an optional timed mode.
  • A true-black display for OLED screens, and full TalkBack support.
  • Casting puts the question board on your TV while your phone stays the controller.
  • Lore Pro opens the Hard and Expert shelves and the Grand Round.
