The frequency of the bell will be increased when setting the cut-off for a closer cut-off time, for example, a cut-off time that is within the next hour will have bells that are no more than twenty minutes apart from each other and when setting cut-off times for over five hours in the future will have times as long as an hour and a half between bells. This allows the bells still to be at random (unexpected), but much better at providing you mindfulness bells in a way that's more predictable Layout refinements Goals New Goal Progress Bar Challenge goals now show progress for individual days during the goal. Consolidated the on/off switch and the ongoing/challenge switch. Removed encouragement text, this is in preparation for localization in revisions to come Resolved an issue that kept goal from progressing past the first day, when you switched to Challenge and didn't edit any of the other settings Recents No longer shows chart on Recents if the device is already in landscape to prevent confusion about how to exit the chart Inverted the colors on the chart in order to better match the rest of the interface Resolved a performance issue when drilling down to the settings screen for a manual entry Lots of other minor bug fixes and revisions Version 1.3
