Culinario is on the App Store Launch

  • Now in six languages — English, Ukrainian, German, Spanish, French, and Russian — across the app, the App Store listing, the paywall, and this site.

A big declutter

  • Simplified the whole app — leaner Today, Profile, Progress, and Shop screens.
  • Made the unit headers compact so the learning path breathes.
  • Goal everywhere: not-overcomplicated, easy to grasp.

Friends & social, working end-to-end

  • Fixed friend invite codes and the friend-invite deep link (auto-fills the code).
  • Added "Redeem a code" for win-back and promo offers.
  • Deepened the analytics funnel to understand onboarding and retention.
Earlier

Personalized onboarding

  • New cooks pick a skill level and a dietary preference up front.
  • The Four Pillars spine — salt, acid, fat, heat — now runs through the whole app.

More shipping soon — a public launch inside the Shipaton window, more Practice Kitchen drills, and deeper cuisine tracks. Check back weekly.
