Sharper Photos, Faster Loading- Photos load faster — every photo you add is now resized and compressed as it uploads, so cheese and review pictures appear quicker and use far less of your data
- iPhone photos just work — HEIC pictures straight from your camera roll are converted automatically instead of failing silently
- Clearer upload errors — if a file isn’t a JPG, PNG or WebP, we now say what it actually is rather than rejecting it without explanation
- Tidier cheese library — we removed a batch of broken image links inherited from the app’s earliest days, so fewer cheeses show a blank or half-loaded picture

- Simplified cheese requests — upload a photo and go: we’ll pre-fill the name, creamery, country, milk type, pasteurization, rennet, and age for you to review before sending

Fromag.io 2.6 — Cheese Trail Badges- Cheese Trail & Route 66 badges — review a cheese from a maker on one of these trails and earn its badge. Route 66 follows the Mother Road across eight states — Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California — and we’re still adding makers along the route
- Earn it, see it — the badge card appears the moment you earn it, then lives on your passport under Special stamps
- Trail marks on the cheese — cheeses on a trail now carry a small badge on their photo, so you can spot one before you review it. Tap it to see the badge and the reviews you’ve written along that trail
- Already been on the trail? — if you’d reviewed a qualifying cheese before this update, your badge is waiting for you, dated to the review that earned it
