Every version of Stapel, newest first, written for a person. Stapel https://stapel-app.nl/en/releases/ 2026-11-07T15:05:36+01:00 https://stapel-app.nl/en/releases/#v1-1-0 2026-11-07T15:05:36+01:00 Version 1.1.0 You can copy a card number now: tap Copy card number, or hold the code. On Android 13 and newer the paste preview keeps it hidden. Ordering your cards is now in the top bar of the wallet too. The strip on a tile shows which kind of code a card has; it is ornament, not something to scan. Shops in South Africa are in, and the widget now really does stay put when the arrival takeover is switched off. https://stapel-app.nl/en/releases/#v1-0-1 2026-10-26T11:03:42+01:00 Version 1.0.1 Stapel has its own address: stapel-app.nl. The link to the release page on the About screen still pointed at the old address, and now points at the new one. Nothing else changed. The old address keeps working, so nothing is broken on 1.0.0. https://stapel-app.nl/en/releases/#v1-0-0 2026-10-22T07:21:20+02:00 Version 1.0.0 Stapel is in the Play Store. Nothing in the app changed: this is the same version as the last closed test, except that nobody needs adding to a tester list any more. Your loyalty cards on your phone, with no account and no internet. No ads, no tracking, nothing I collect about you. Arrival detection uses your location in the background and stays off until you turn it on. https://stapel-app.nl/en/releases/#v0-9-13 2026-10-15T21:34:37+02:00 Version 0.9.13 Arrival detection was falling behind your cards. Adding one, turning location off and on again, or syncing by hand left the shops around you unset, so nothing happened in the shop. That is fixed. Turning the phone at the wrong moment could leave a back-up empty, swap a code you had just scanned, or import cards with no brands at all. That is over too. A shop you corrected stays corrected, and a country you switch off really goes. https://stapel-app.nl/en/releases/#v0-9-12 2026-10-14T15:39:58+02:00 Version 0.9.12 When you are in a shop you hold a card for, that card now sits at the top of your wallet instead of somewhere down the alphabet. It moves there, it is not copied. The question about which shop you are in is no longer at the till. A card linked to the wrong shop can now be unlinked. Also: tapping grows the tile into the card itself, everything reads better at large font sizes and with TalkBack, and on a tablet the card sits beside your wallet. https://stapel-app.nl/en/releases/#v0-9-11 2026-10-12T17:18:40+02:00 Version 0.9.11 A card with no shop linked now asks which shop you are in. Open one inside a shop Stapel knows and a line appears under the barcode: are you in this shop right now? One tap links it. And a card whose chain has no shop nearby no longer drops silently out of the Shops screen: it now says there is no shop within the range that was searched. https://stapel-app.nl/en/releases/#v0-9-10 2026-10-05T13:13:37+02:00 Version 0.9.10 Adding a widget, the list showed both Stapel widgets as the same grey box with a spinner, so you could not tell them apart. Each now shows what it is: one a card filling the width, the other a card with your recent ones beneath it. When several shops you hold a card for sit close together, the nearest one now decides which card is offered, instead of whichever one the phone happened to report last. https://stapel-app.nl/en/releases/#v0-9-9 2026-10-02T17:24:07+02:00 Version 0.9.9 Dates on screen now follow your language. A phone set to English read 03-04-2027 as 4 March; it is 3 April. The field you type a date into follows your language too. A card you had closed no longer comes back open from a backup, and a handed-over card takes the rule of the phone receiving it. A number one digit short of its barcode is now refused when editing too, and a long PDF says how many pages were read instead of claiming it holds no barcode. https://stapel-app.nl/en/releases/#v0-9-8 2026-10-02T12:12:08+02:00 Version 0.9.8 Update now finds the shops near you. It read only a location Android already held, which is usually empty, so for a country whose shops arrive in parts it fetched the nationwide list and nothing close by. It now asks for a location itself, and shows that it is working. Typing a card is stricter: a number one digit short of its barcode is refused instead of quietly completed, and an American card draws as UPC-A. A closed card's code no longer shows in the wallet list. https://stapel-app.nl/en/releases/#v0-9-7 2026-10-01T12:09:04+02:00 Version 0.9.7 Shop countries can now be added without a new version of the app. Stapel reads a signed list and offers what it names. Today it names the twenty-eight countries the app already knew, so none is added yet; the next one needs no update. A wallet with no cards of its own is now offered arrival detection too, and the text says why: it is about the example cards Stapel brings with it. https://stapel-app.nl/en/releases/#v0-9-6 2026-09-30T13:58:38+02:00 Version 0.9.6 The app is about 4 MB smaller. It carried every country's shop logos; now it carries the Dutch ones and the rest arrive with a country you switch on. The circle that makes the app look again could stay too wide. Inside one you cross no edge, so it never looks again. It is now laid down fresh as soon as it changes size. The shop list has Pathé in it now, 31 cinemas, and shops listed twice are listed once. https://stapel-app.nl/en/releases/#v0-9-5 2026-09-26T22:27:24+02:00 Version 0.9.5 After a restart, arrival detection could stop for good: the circle that tells the app to look again was drawn around a position from hours earlier, so your phone was outside it from the start and no boundary was ever crossed. That circle is now widened by the age of that position. At large font sizes the pin and folder dialogs scroll, so what sits below the field can be reached. The privacy page inside the app now describes that circle too. https://stapel-app.nl/en/releases/#v0-9-4 2026-09-25T16:57:45+02:00 Version 0.9.4 Greece is the twenty-eighth country whose shops Stapel knows, and the app now speaks Greek. Turn it on under Settings, Shop database: 10,056 shops across 98 chains. The wide widget no longer prints "No cards yet" underneath the only card in your wallet. In a busy centre the app works out the nearest shops again far sooner. The circle it waits for you to leave is now drawn around the shops it just handed over, instead of always being three kilometres. https://stapel-app.nl/en/releases/#v0-9-3 2026-09-24T12:36:38+02:00 Version 0.9.3 Turned down a card offer by mistake? You can put it back. Settings, then Shop database. In the shop list every button now says which shop it acts on, so a screen reader no longer reads two rows out identically. If no map app is installed, the app says so instead of nothing happening. The licences screen opens faster, and the address for the release notes under About works now. https://stapel-app.nl/en/releases/#v0-9-2 2026-09-24T10:15:40+02:00 Version 0.9.2 From the shop list you can now open a shop in your map app. Stapel carries 620 shop logos now, 382 more than before. This "what's new" text now appears in every language the store page speaks. If you read the page in German, Japanese or Portuguese, this note used to reach you in English. https://stapel-app.nl/en/releases/#v0-9-1 2026-09-22T16:01:09+02:00 Version 0.9.1 Eleven more countries: Austria, Ireland, Poland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Switzerland, Czechia, Slovakia, Mexico and Argentina. 250,544 shops between them, with loyalty cards for most. Stapel now also speaks Polish, Czech and Slovak. A card you had closed could still show up in the recent-apps overview, on the share and edit screens too. That is closed now. At a large system font size the wide widget clipped the barcode. Not any more. https://stapel-app.nl/en/releases/#v0-9-0 2026-09-17T14:15:44+02:00 Version 0.9.0 The widget has become the card: the chain's colour, its mark, and the barcode itself. Scan it straight from your home screen, without opening the app. QR, Aztec, Data Matrix and PDF417 codes were being stretched into the shape of a barcode, which made them hard to scan. They keep their own shape now. Rossmann is a QR code, not an EAN-13. The United States goes from 70 to 200 chains. https://stapel-app.nl/en/releases/#v0-8-0 2026-09-17T10:30:25+02:00 Version 0.8.0 The shop list now downloads only what is within 25 km, plus a nationwide baseline. Smaller download, faster update. When you are somewhere your shop data is not for, Stapel now says so, with a button to fetch it. Seven new countries: Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland, Brazil and Japan. Many more chains: Great Britain from 12 to 190, Spain from 69 to 183, the bundled Dutch list from 36 to 173. And the app finally has a shape of its own. https://stapel-app.nl/en/releases/#v0-7-2 2026-09-15T17:52:45+02:00 Version 0.7.2 "Sync now" often answered "Update refused", even when there was simply nothing to update. That is the same message a file that fails its signature check produces. It now says the shop list was already the newest version. One country that was already current was also hiding every other country's result. Pinning a shop to your card was sometimes not saved, with nothing said about it. A barcode that cannot be drawn now says so, instead of showing an empty white box. https://stapel-app.nl/en/releases/#v0-7-1 2026-09-15T16:58:27+02:00 Version 0.7.1 Two things from 0.7.0 are put right. With updating switched off, every country switch locked and the "Clear out" button was there for the Netherlands only. The shops of a downloaded country could no longer be removed from your phone. The button is now there for every country that has shops on the phone. Leaving the screen mid-clear could empty a country for good. That is fixed too, and the confirmation text has been rewritten. https://stapel-app.nl/en/releases/#v0-7-0 2026-09-15T15:24:51+02:00 Version 0.7.0 Every brand in Stapel now has a logo. 44 of the 230 brands showed only a coloured letter; all of them now carry the real mark. New: you choose how far the shop list looks. 10, 25 or 50 km. A phone that reads in miles now gets miles. And two faults in the shop list are gone. A filling station was listed twice, while the shop at that same station was missing altogether. https://stapel-app.nl/en/releases/#v0-6-0 2026-09-14T17:13:09+02:00 Stapel now works in nine countries and speaks eight languages. The United States and Great Britain join the list; a country you do not switch on costs you nothing. The brand list updates itself: when a chain renames its programme you no longer wait for a new app version. A gift voucher's code now sits behind your fingerprint or PIN. A loyalty card does not: worth nothing to a stranger. Either one, per card. Also: hand a card to another phone by QR code, and import a voucher from a PDF. https://stapel-app.nl/en/releases/#v0-5-0 2026-09-10T22:46:37+02:00 New in this version. Scan a card in the shop and Stapel looks at where you are and fills in the brand. For a few chains whose card is a QR code it saves the card outright. A barcode off the shelf never: in a supermarket that looks too much like a loyalty card. Arrival notifications can put the barcode on your lock screen, no unlocking needed. Like arrival detection, that stays off until you turn it on. And five things that were wrong on a real phone are fixed. https://stapel-app.nl/en/releases/#v0-4-1 2026-09-10T17:16:15+02:00 Scanning did not work in 0.4.0. The app closed itself the moment you opened "Kaart scannen", for everyone. That is fixed, and a check in the build now keeps it from coming back. Also fixed: the app could close when opened through the Scannen shortcut or through a notification. Apologies. Adding a card is the first thing you want to do with Stapel, and that was the one thing that did not work. https://stapel-app.nl/en/releases/#v0-4-0 2026-09-10T13:19:52+02:00 Stapel keeps your loyalty cards, gift vouchers and memberships on your phone. Scan the barcode and the card is ready at the till. No account, no ads, and nothing about you goes online. Alongside the Dutch shops you can add Belgium, Germany, France, Spain, Italy and Portugal, one country at a time. New: a reminder before a voucher expires or a membership renews. And Google's scanner library no longer sends details about your device. https://stapel-app.nl/en/releases/#v0-3-0 2026-09-10T11:22:19+02:00 Stapel now knows the shops in Belgium, Germany, France, Spain, Italy and Portugal: over 164,000 more, with 130 foreign loyalty cards. You choose per country whether to download that list, over wifi only, and you can remove a country just as easily. Near a border, Stapel can offer to fetch that country for you; this is off unless you turn it on. Most chains now show their own logo. The app stays Dutch and never asks you for an account. https://stapel-app.nl/en/releases/#v0-2-0 2026-09-09T22:58:39+02:00 You can now type a card in by hand, for when the camera cannot manage it. The pencil on a card opens everything: name, code, barcode type, colour and note. A code its format cannot draw will not save, and Stapel says exactly what is wrong. Also fixed: tapping an arrival notification closed the app instead of opening the card. https://stapel-app.nl/en/releases/#v0-1-1 2026-09-09T22:00:19+02:00 Tapping an arrival notification closed the app instead of opening the card. That is fixed. Nothing else changed: no new features, no new permissions, and nothing about your cards.
