What we shipped, and when.

Plenty of families buy their groceries through Walmart pickup, and until now Poppycal made you type the list twice: once for us, once for Walmart. We're sorry about the typing.

Send your list to Walmart. The grocery list has a new Send list to… button. Pick Walmart, and Poppycal looks up everything on your list at Walmart and shows you what it found, with a rough total, before anything leaves.

• Change a quantity, or tap a product to swap it for another match
• Take off anything you already have in the pantry
• When it looks right, hit send. Walmart opens with everything already in your cart, and you pick pickup or delivery and check out the way you always do

Why you check first. Ask Walmart for "bananas" and its first answer is sometimes one banana. Ask for peanut butter and you might get a four-pack. We would rather you catch that on our screen than at the pickup spot, so Poppycal flags picks that look off, like a single banana or a multipack, before you send.

It works from recipes and the meal plan too. Send one recipe's ingredients, or the whole week's meals, to Walmart the same way. On the meal plan and on a recipe, that same menu also puts your family's own grocery list first, for the weeks you would rather walk the aisles yourself.

Smaller things:

• Instacart lives in the same Send list to… menu now, so both stores are in one place
• Walmart knows its shelves and we don't. An item can match on our screen and still be out of stock at your store, and Walmart has the final say at checkout
• On Android, this arrived with the latest version on Google Play. If you don't see the button, update the app

Two things in this one. The Android app is out, and we spent two days on repeating events, which needed it more than we had been admitting.

Poppycal is on Google Play. Android families have been running Poppycal in a browser tab since day one. That worked, and we kept saying an app was coming. It is here now.

• Free on Google Play, for Android phones and tablets
• Your subscription and your family's data carry straight over. Sign in and everything is where you left it
• Mount an old Android tablet on the wall and it behaves like a proper family hub instead of a browser someone will eventually close
• If you would rather keep using Poppycal in the browser on Android, nothing is going away

Repeating events got a hard look. A family picked "This and following events" partway through a repeating series and lost the entire series, earlier dates included. That is as bad as it sounds, and it was our bug: both apps sent the date the series started instead of the occurrence you actually opened, and the server did exactly what it was told.

• "This and following" now applies from the occurrence you tapped, and nothing before it
• Splitting a series is one all-or-nothing operation. It can no longer stop halfway and leave you holding the front of a series with no back half
• Deleting a whole series clears it from your screen, instead of leaving the repeats sitting there until you reload and tap Delete again into an error
• Opening a repeat from any date shows that date. It used to show the day the series began, so a November event insisted it was in September
• Dragging a multi-day repeat in month view moves the one you grabbed

When a calendar stops syncing, we now say so. A connected calendar stopped syncing in May and nobody noticed for three months, because nothing anywhere said a word about it. Three months of changes that quietly went nowhere. There is now a banner naming the calendar that stopped, with a Reconnect button. It is not dismissible, and that is deliberate — letting the household hide the one signal that its calendar has gone stale helps nobody.

Smaller things:

• The 5-day and week grids on tablet open at the current hour, with a line marking now, instead of dumping you at midnight to scroll down and find your own day
• Events with nobody assigned are grey. They used to be family-orange, the same colour a real profile uses, so unassigned events looked assigned
• The comment icon on an event is black everywhere now. Some showed orange, which was meant to mean unread comments, but that signal had never once worked. It was noise pretending to be information
• Tapping the list linked to an event opens that list, not whichever list happened to be first. Groceries and cleaning stay pinned to the front
• Dashboard widgets open the specific list or event they are about
• In the mobile app, buttons visibly respond to a press again. A build setting had been silently discarding the pressed-state styling on 128 of them

Your kid finishes their chores and emoji fall from the sky. This already happened, but quietly, most of the time, because past us decided some celebrations should be small. Past us was wrong.

• Every finished day now gets the full celebration
• 40 different emoji showers, dragons through tacos, no repeats for weeks
• A rare legendary one that we are quietly proud of
• Sharper emoji, because the old ones were being stretched and it showed
• Confetti removed. It was making older devices sweat.
