This update focuses on making BugSmash AI smarter, improving speed & structure, and polishing the experience across emails, navigation, and collaboration.

Our AI Review engine just got a major structural and performance boost.

• ⚙️ Improved backend logic for faster processing and more stable results.

• 🧠 Added internal tracking so we can instantly identify whether a project has already been AI-reviewed — no unnecessary reprocessing.

• 🪫 When screenshots fail to load or time out, BugSmash now shows an AI error message with a “Retry” option, instead of marking the project as failed.

• 🧩 All this means: smarter caching, less waiting, and a more dependable AI experience.

Your inbox just got a design refresh. New email notification layouts make collaboration updates cleaner, easier to read, and branded to feel truly BugSmash.

• 🧾 Workspace IP Whitelisting: You can now view and whitelist BugSmash’s IP address right from workspace settings — ideal for teams with strict network policies.

• 📲 “Download the App” Button added just below Got Feedback? — now with a Google Play badge for direct access.

• 🔄 PDF Navigation Restored: Left/right arrow keys now work seamlessly again when the comment window is open.

• 💬 Comment Sync Logic Improved: Comments you add via the extension are no longer marked as NEW when you revisit the project.

👉 With this release, BugSmash AI becomes more stable and insightful, your emails more delightful, and your workflow smoother than ever.

This release focuses on making the BugSmash Extension smoother, faster, and more capable, while also tightening up the PDF review flow and pricing structure.

Your favorite BugSmash Extension just got smarter, simpler, and way more reliable:

• 🎥 Screen Recording → Video Upload

  • You can now record your screen and upload it directly as a video project.

  • BugSmash automatically names your video using the active browser tab title (no more “upload.mp4”).

  • 🎧 Bonus: Added external audio support — so your mic and system audio can both be captured.

• 🔄 Auto Project Creation

  • Didn’t select a project before sharing? No problem — BugSmash now auto-creates a project using your tab title.

• 🔑 One-Login Fix

  • We fixed the annoying bug that made the extension repeatedly ask for login while switching tabs.

  • Once you’re logged in, you’re truly logged in across all tabs.

• 🧼 Visual Bug Fixes

  • Fixed issue where the login button overlapped with project names, causing a full-screen blur.

  • Fixed image loading issue where screenshots wouldn’t appear in some captured projects.

• ⚡ PDF Upload Engine Rebuilt

  • We’ve changed how PDFs are processed — now uploaded without converting into images which used to cause a difference in image colors.

  • This means sharper rendering, faster load times, and smaller storage footprint.

  • All older projects remain fully supported.

• 🧾 Versioning Fixes for PDFs

  • Resolved multiple issues when adding new versions of PDFs — version previews and pages now render consistently.

We’ve refined our pricing to make plans more transparent and rewarding for teams:

Starter: $15/mo | $10/mo billed annually (Save $60)
Teams: $60/mo | $40/mo billed annually (Save $240)
Enterprise: Custom ($300/mo base)

That’s a 33.3% discount for annual users — because commitment deserves value.
