Strew News: February 2026

Here at Strew we’re always working at making our home ed app better and better. Sometimes that means we add a new feature, sometimes it means we remove something.

I’m writing an update post each month in 2026, and here’s February’s update!

🐛 5 Bugs Fixed

This month we’ve focused on clearing out the bug list. We fixed several multi-child family bugs, where the UI wasn’t keeping up with the family activities!

This is part of an overall push to tighten the app as-it-is; I hope this’ll free me up to work on a few key new features which are coming soon 🙂

🔧 Other Improvements

Printing. PDFs. This is crucial stuff for Strew; because it’s amazing to log the stuff, but even more Strew is about enabling of reflection, and report support.

To this end I’ve added several performance improvements which should help all users generate home ed PDFs much faster and with less phone memory used.

What’s Coming Next?

Thing’s we’re thinking about on the horizon:

  • (Optional) Cloud Sync for multi-device
  • Recurring activities
  • Refer-a-friend scheme
  • Learning Suggestions
  • Bookshelf

If you’ve got something constructive to tell us about the Strew Home ed app, please do contact us.
