First is the removal of the Map screen. This screen was originally envisioned to let you mark store locations on your device so that FridgeFriend could notify you when you were close by via geofencing. It was intended to be a hands off operation, so you wouldn't need the app open and could be, for example, driving around in the car and the app would notify you as you passed by a store. Unfortunately, the Google API and Policy changes with the new Android version made this feature much less useful - as you had to have the app open for it to remind you about nearby stores - and with the change in how society functions due to the pandemic, most people are not out and about anymore (and if they are, they usually have decided in advance to go to the store already). As such, the feature rarely saw any use and was not very useful when it did, so it has been dropped. A side effect of this is that FridgeFriend now requires zero permissions.
Instead, a global search screen has been added. Now when searching on this page, Items from any Group will be returned to you, allowing for a higher level birds-eye view over all of the things in your fridge. This way, even if you have items spread out among multiple Groups, you will be able to manage them all here as if they were in one large "super group".
The update has been published and should be rolling out to your device soon!
Stay tuned!
