Release 1.5.6 When we changed the app name.
This is both our smallest and the biggest update.
Why? Well, we didn't add any new features or make UI changes. We only fixed a few bugs, which makes this update really small. What makes this update big for us is that we decided it's the right time to introduce to the world our new name.
Our initial name was good, people remembered it, and most importantly they understood instantly exactly what the app does. But with time, due to the name, other wonderful features and services that we developed were always overlooked. We realized we are growing and our name doesn't fit us anymore.
Of course, we needed our name to say fashion. Searching for different words, we settled on the English word "mode". Perhaps because it was familiar to our techie souls.
Perfect, isn't it? Funny observation, it actually does mean fashion in the many of languages across the globe.
But we also wanted our name to reflect the attitude towards fashion that we see developing in the world today. We wanted the name to be a symbol of the change in the industry we are hoping to be.
The idea of trends is just too small for our universe. And we don't like seeing people being trapped in this circle of constantly changing trends. We were repulsed by the idea of selling someone a 'cool' product and telling them a year later that it's no longer 'cool'. (We can't believe we finally said that). We don't want to treat people like they are not smart enough to understand that. They are smart. We wanted our new name to show respect to individuality, self-expression, and freedom of creativity.
We are excited to finally share it. Let's read it out loud together!

TL;DR: We changed the app name to unmode.
