Hi all,

I'm proud to announce the version *1.5* of Sugarizer, the leading learning
platform for children.

https://sugarizer.org

New in this version:

- 2 new activities included:
- *Dollar Street activity*: This activity - based on DollarStreet
website from Gapminder - lets you discover how people live in different
countries depending on their monthly income.
- *XMas Lights activity:* An activity to create nice blinking
Christmas lights using Sugarizer icons and colors.
- 3 improved activities:
- *Clock activity:* New options to show or hide minutes, AM hours, PM
hours and a full 24h mode. The best activity to learn how to
read the time
is here.
- *Color My World activity: *Add countries flags in the Color My
World activity. Learn countries' flags at the same time as location.
- *Shared Notes activity*: Choose background color or background
image in the Shared Notes activity.
- Take picture from Journal popup: It's now possible to take a picture
from any activity where there is the Journal popup. No need to use Record
activity.
- Full Spanish localization.
- Improved stability: more than 30 fix and update on Sugarizer and
activities.

A short animation of these features is visible here:


A full description of Sugarizer activities with demo video, category and
recommended age is available on https://sugarizer.org/activities.html

We need your help to improve Sugarizer user experience and make it
accessible to more users! You could now support Sugarizer on GitHub Sponsor
[1] or Liberapay [2].

Sugarizer 1.5 is available on your browser [3] but also for your Android,
iOS, Linux, MacOS or Windows device. Download it from : Google Play [4],
Amazon Store [5], Apple Store [6], F-droid [7], snapcraft [8] and if you
don't like stores, you could also install it by yourself using instructions
on the Sugarizer website [9].
On Android, Sugarizer could also replace your launcher with Sugarizer OS
[10].
And if you want to deploy Sugarizer Server for your school, follow
instructions here [11].

P.S.: Special thanks for their contribution on this version to Alberto
Gómez Herrera (Spanish localization) and all other contributors who made
this release possible.

Hello there Lionel, awesome work as usual :)

I'm testing it on an iphone and a friend is testing on a android phone!

We are trying to use Calligra app but the touch responsiveness is really
bad.
Is this something from our side?

Thanks

Hi Ignacio,

Nice to hear from you.
Thanks.

I've just tested on my side on an iPhone. You're right :-(
It sounds like it's related to the screen size because it works nice on a
tablet.
A - partial - work around is to increase letter size using zoom palette and
click on fullscreen.

Do not hesitate to fill a bug.

Regards.

Lionel
