We still plan on making it after our next app release. The app release is a much higher priority since app updates are delayed until it's out.
The servers were deployed a few weeks ago. However, our next app update had unexpected bugs, delaying its release.
As a result, updates for all apps have been delayed since. We apologize for the delay and hope to resolve it by the end of the week. Thank you for your patience!
