Here at Strew, almost every day we work to make Strew better for home ed families: sometimes that means adding new features, and sometimes it means simplifying what’s already there.
This post covers what’s new in May:

💌 Refer-a-friend
You can now get paid by referring home ed friends to Strew!
This month we’ve added a new screen in the app which helps you quickly and easily share Strew to get rewards. (Starting out at £/$10 Amazon gift cards per referral!)
We know lots of home ed parents share resources and we want to reward you for helping us grow! Win-win 🙂
🐛 4 Bugs Fixed
We fixed up reports a bit; some users had an issue with custom date selection which should now be fixed.
We also improved performance with one bug fix and fixed a glitch effecting some Android users.
🔧 Other Improvements
As part of our improvements for multi-child families, we added colour-coded feed activities and avatars (and added these to the single activity view).
We also added more in-app signposts to help new users learn where each area is.
There were a handful of other small improvements which will help performance; too small to explain here, but it all adds up 🙂
What’s Coming Next?
Thing’s we’re thinking about on the horizon:
- (Optional) Cloud Sync for multi-device
- Improvements on the Study Points system
- Recurring activities
- Learning Suggestions / Reflections on recent focuses
- Bookshelf
