    Changelog

    What changed in each release of the LastRound AI desktop app. Installed apps update themselves; new users can set up the desktop app in a few minutes.

    1. Version 5.5.5

      • Improved
        Answers come when you press Answer (Space or Ctrl/⌘ + Enter), the way we recommend for every interview with a real person. The setup wizard and the in-interview tip no longer offer automatic answers.
      • Improved
        Auto-Response is now marked Not recommended and lives only in Interview Setup. It switches on only after you confirm a warning, and everyone who had it on is back on Manual once.
      • Improved
        Calls with a real person are always Manual: while Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Webex, Google Meet or Skype is open, Auto-Response stays off and the app reminds you to press Answer.
      • Improved
        Phone mode: confirm your interview details and start the session from your phone, with no trip back to the laptop. Key points or full answer, bigger or smaller text, earlier answers, typed questions and Shorter / Another example / Regenerate on the phone. Clearer connect steps on the laptop.
      • Fixed
        Phone mode: the end of a long answer is no longer hidden under the phone's buttons.
      • Improved
        Interview details check before Start is easier to read, with the answer keys shown as keys.

    2. Version 5.5.4

      • Improved
        Auto-Response now understands the conversation: it answers real questions and skips small talk, "you're on mute", other people in your room and other languages.
      • Improved
        Auto-Response joins questions asked in parts or with a follow-up ("In GCP?") into one answer, in your interview language.
      • Faster
        Auto-Response answers start sooner after the interviewer stops talking.
      • Improved
        Interview Setup explains when to use Auto-Response: AI interviewers and proctored tests. With a real interviewer, press Answer yourself.
      • Fixed
        If transcription reconnects, the question asked during the drop is no longer lost.
      • Fixed
        Long answers no longer run past the bottom of the window.
      • Fixed
        An answer pasted into a prepared answer is kept even if you press Save straight away.

    3. Version 5.5.2

      • New
        Scroll a long answer without clicking it: Ctrl + Alt + ↓ / ↑ on Windows, ⌘ + ⌥ + ↓ / ↑ on a Mac.
      • New

      • New
        Forgot password on the sign-in screen, and an eye icon to show the password you typed.
      • Improved
        The proctoring banner is now a heads-up: browser tests like LeetCode, HackerRank and CodeSignal are fine. Background exam-app services no longer trigger it.
      • Improved
        No resize arrow at the overlay edges during a screen share. Use Ctrl/⌘ + Shift + arrow keys to resize.
      • Fixed
        Windows: the app retries when the audio device is switching (often a Bluetooth headset) instead of failing straight away.
      • Fixed
        Update and Restart buttons on the toolbar now respond anywhere on the button.

    4. Version 5.3.0

      • New
        Phone mode: use your phone as a remote for Answer, Capture and End, and read larger answers on it. You can hide the app on your laptop while the phone is connected.
      • New
        A free 3-minute demo interview, with questions from your own resume.
