#fridaypro

After over 25 months since the first launch, we're finally shedding our beta tag. In fact, we're putting on a new shiny suit. We didn't post an update for friday last couple of months, it was obviously because we were moving around too many things. After weeks on internal testing and phased roll out, today the app is open for all in the Play store. So what is different?

Instincts

Since for ever, friday was about the timeline. But we realized that along with seeing what happened, it would be fun to show you what is next. So we're introducing the new home screen, which has a range of cards including your travels, meetings, people, places etc.

Travels

Friday now identifies where you are and where you were. Your travels and mode of transport. It condenses this into a nice travelogue everyday.

Summary

Friday also shows you a daily summary card, with people, places and events.

Music

We are introducing a new min-player inside the friday app, which will play your favorite songs based on your mood. 

Friday Pro

We're introducing subscription plans for friday. For as little as 99c you can back up your whole life onto our cloud. We back up all photos in full resolution, provide you options to restore you calls/texts and contacts. And more features are coming soon. 

Why subscriptions?

We will always have the free version with all the core features intact.

We will never sell your information to any advertisers.

We're very clear on these two points. At the same time we're incurring huge amounts on server costs for running syncs and machine learning engines, apart from storing all your data. This is why we are introducing the subscriptions. Our biggest cost today is storing full resolution photos, which contributes to over 25 Terabytes already, so we have decided to keep it a paid feature. Also, we are adding Pro specific features like backup and restore, apart from the ones which we will introduce soon. The free version will always provide you the bare essentials , but we would be very happy if you subscribe and decide to support us. We have kept the pricing to the minimum allowed by Google Play Store.
