v1.18Latest

Instant Kora for inviting friends, filter the feed by style, easier photos

29 August 2026
New featureImprovementBug fix
  • The referral system actually works now, with completely new terms — you get 150 Kora the moment a friend signs up through your link (previously you had to wait for them to buy a subscription). Your friend also gets 150 Kora on top of their signup bonus, and if they ever subscribe, you get another 500 Kora.
  • The invite link moved into the main menu ('Invite & earn') — it used to be buried in a sub-tab of your profile where almost nobody found it.
  • Added a share button on mobile so you can send your link through any app in one tap.
  • Added a filter to the home feed — show only Real / Anime / 3D, or everything.
  • Characters send more photos early on — 3 during your first conversations instead of 1.
  • Fixed a big one: characters used to reply that they 'can't send photos' even though the system could. They no longer refuse like that — they'll keep the conversation going or tease you toward the next photo instead.
  • The first-month discount badge now only appears for people who are actually eligible, never for someone who has subscribed before — so the badge and the price you're charged can never disagree.

If you ever entered a friend's code and nothing happened — sorry, it really was broken. It's fixed now, so go ahead and share your link. 💗

v1.17

Character tags for finding your type, and shareable character cards

28 August 2026
New featureContent
  • Characters now have tags — things like tsundere, yandere, senpai, med student — tap one to find other characters with the same vibe.
  • Each tag has its own page so you can browse everyone in a category you like.
  • When you create a character you can pick her tags too (up to 6), so other people can find her.
  • Added a share button on character pages — send the link to a friend and it shows a proper card with her photo and name instead of a bare URL.
🌙
v1.16

Full interface overhaul, and dark mode

27 August 2026
New featureImprovement
  • Added dark mode — toggle it from the left menu or the ☰ menu on mobile.
  • Reorganised navigation — desktop now has a permanent left sidebar, so the same destinations no longer appear twice under different names.
  • The mobile home screen is much cleaner: stories and the photo feed are visible from the very first screen.
  • Added a 'Diary' tab in the bottom bar for add-on pack owners (calendar / expense tracker), one tap away.
  • Added a promo carousel on the home page so you can browse current news and offers.
  • The games and create-a-character pages now have full navigation like everywhere else (they used to be hard to get back out of).
🎉
v1.15

500 Kora for every new signup, 50% off your first month

10 August 2026
AnnouncementNew featureBug fix
  • Every new signup gets 500 free Kora, with no end date (it used to be a short promo that had expired).
  • 50% off your first month on every monthly plan, for anyone who hasn't subscribed before — no code needed, it's applied at checkout.
  • Sent 500 Kora to long-absent members as a welcome-back gift.
  • Fixed a serious signup bug — if your username collided with an existing one (or even just matched the front of someone's email), signup failed with no explanation. Names are now made unique automatically.
🗓️
v1.14

Google Calendar sync, hairstyle picker, sharper try-on, Truth or Dare overhaul

12 July 2026
New featureImprovementGamesBug fix
  • You can now sync a character's dates and reminders to Google Calendar — hit Subscribe to sync automatically (per character), or import an .ics file.
  • Added a 'Hairstyle' option in the Wardrobe — pick a style and it's used both when generating photos and when trying on outfits (arrow buttons to browse on desktop).
  • Try-on is much sharper and more accurate — fixed the 'big head' issue for natural face/body proportions, framing adapts to the outfit (long dresses/pants show fully without cropping legs), keeps the character's original hair color (especially anime styles with special colors), and results match the character's style (anime/3D/real) instead of turning photoreal.
  • Overhauled Truth or Dare — full English support, the character now picks her own Truth/Dare on her turn (instead of you choosing for her), and the dares are clearer and more teasing.
  • Added 3-level memory management in chat — clear just the message history, clear the temporary cache, or reset the whole relationship.
  • Privacy: images you upload into chat are auto-deleted within 24 hours and never appear in the gallery/wardrobe.
  • Home notifications are now clearer per character and per type (who's reminding you of what / whose expense was logged), and the 'generating photo' status persists even when you switch screens.
  • Language: characters always reply in the language you type (fixed non-Thai characters slipping into Thai), and the character profile page is fully translated to English in EN mode.
  • Photos the characters send are now 'image-only' with no caption text, for a cleaner look.
  • Added more variety to Level 4 photos (Premium 🔞) so surprises show fresh scenes/poses.
  • Fixed several bugs: push notifications that popped up but showed no message in chat, wrong Rock-Paper-Scissors results (won but shown as a loss), characters talking about past-due appointments as if upcoming, and you can now tap a profile on a Story to open the character page.

A big update two days running 💗 Thank you all for keeping the reports coming.

v1.13

New social-feed home, smoother chat (room switching/sounds/replies), character editing, AI content moderation

6 July 2026
New featureImprovementBug fix
  • New member home — an IG-style social feed: a Stories bar of the girls up top + an endless photo feed you can like, plus 'Continue chatting' and 'Recommended for you' rows (2 columns on desktop, vertical scroll on mobile).
  • Chat is smoother in several ways — a LINE-style character list on the left (desktop) for instant room switching, send/receive sound effects (mutable from the menu), and a quote-style 'reply to message' (long-press a message on mobile).
  • Added 'edit from an existing photo' — send back a photo the character sent and ask her to change it (pose/outfit/scene), and she'll edit that exact image.
  • You can edit characters you created again — change the name/personality/backstory (images are locked to prevent spam). If the character is public, edits are sent back for admin review.
  • Added AI content moderation — uploaded images and Stories are AI-reviewed before going public (a 'Pending' badge shows while waiting), and private characters are confirmed to never be visible to others.
  • Fixed a chat bug where the character sometimes repeated the same line endlessly — replies are now more varied, and her mood gradually returns to neutral after you're away a while (it used to stick).
  • Chat photos: fixed occasional freezes/errors — Kora is auto-refunded on failure, the character's face and proportions stay consistent when editing, and captions better match her personality/mood.
  • Flags on profiles and character cards now reflect 'ethnicity' instead of language.

v1.12

Reworked intimacy & photo quotas, shorter chat replies, relaxed cooldowns

5 July 2026
ImprovementGames
  • New intimacy system — Free still rises from chatting up to 30, but you can now go past 30 by sending gifts or playing games (chatting alone won't move it once over 30).
  • Standard can now raise intimacy up to 100 (up from 70) but still doesn't unlock Explicit mode — that's Premium-only, no matter how high intimacy goes.
  • Intimacy can drop by at most 3 points per day across everything combined (rejections, losing games, or being away).
  • Added a guaranteed intimacy floor per plan that it will never drop below: Free 20, Standard 50, Premium 80.
  • Standard/Premium free daily photo quota is now account-wide (no longer per character): Standard 10 free/day, Premium 20 free/day (Levels 1-3).
  • Level 4 photos (Explicit 🔞, Premium only) are separate from the free quota and always cost Kora, but the first 5 of the day are 80% off (100 → 20 Kora).
  • Relaxed chat rate limits — higher burst limit and much shorter cooldown, plus a real-time countdown when you do have to wait, instead of the old error message.
  • AI replies are more concise, mostly just 1 sentence (except questions that need detail), and use fewer emoji (0-1 per reply).
  • Added a back-to-home button on pages that lacked an easy way back (chat, settings, Blog, Tutorial, etc.).
  • Buttons on mobile now give tap feedback (instant color change) across the whole site.
  • Intimacy on mobile chat now shows as a clear numbered circle (it was invisible on small screens before).
  • Sketch & Guess round time raised from 5 seconds to 10 so you can finish drawing.

The Pricing page is fully updated to match all the new terms — see each plan's details there.

v1.11

Permanent fix for photo uploads, new character-creation page, Air Hockey tweaks

4 July 2026
Bug fixImprovementGames
  • Fixed the profile- and chat-photo upload failures some people still hit — found the real root cause and fixed it permanently.
  • Character creation: a character image is now required (it was optional) — the upload field is moved to the top, and you can upload directly from the button on the preview card.
  • Character images uploaded during creation are auto-compressed before saving — faster to load and lighter on storage.
  • Air Hockey: fixed a bug where a goal sometimes looked like it didn't count — the game now stops immediately with a popup showing who scored.
  • Air Hockey: after a goal, both paddles are pulled back to the center of the board to start the next round.
  • Air Hockey: the AI's movement is more natural and no longer jitters constantly, plus a new game icon in the Game Room.
🏒
v1.10

New Air Hockey game, free no-signup trial chat, referral system now live

4 July 2026
New featureGamesImprovementBug fix
  • Added a 5th game to the Game Room: Air Hockey — drag your paddle to hit the puck against the girls in real time, with Kora betting (if you bet, the AI plays better and faster).
  • Launched 'free trial chat, no signup' — talk to Kira instantly from the homepage, no account needed (limited to 8 messages per device).
  • The referral system is now fully working — enter a friend's code at signup or use an invite link; when your friend makes their first paid subscription, you get Kora to claim right away.
  • Added a launch promo — new sign-ups get 500 free Kora credits instantly (limited time).
  • Fixed the signup hang/failure some people hit — it's more stable now, with safeguards against a repeat.
  • Fixed photo upload failures in 3 places: profile pictures, new-character creation, and the content-management system.

Thank you all for reporting issues after launch 🙏 Everything's been fixed.

v1.9

Post-launch update — faster loading, smoother mobile UI

ImprovementNew featureBug fix

  • Added a Safe Mode button in the chat menu to instantly blur explicit images; tap to reveal when you want.
  • Added an 'install Pinkora app' button on the profile and mobile menu — opens fast like a real app.
  • Reworked the mobile chat input so the send button no longer falls out of frame — combined the attach/request-photo/gift icons into one button.

  • Added a 'Continue chatting' row on the home page showing the last 3 girls you talked to, with a red dot when someone replied.
