We rolled out the Punch Desktop beta last week. A handful of you have been testing execution since day one — and we've been listening.

Over the past 4-5 days, through direct conversations with beta users, we've built a list of 60+ improvements, bugs, and issues. The team is fully immersed in working through it.

Here's what shipped this week.

Two Quick Bug Fixes

• Chart icon on the order form was misaligned — fixed.

• Option charts were showing the spot chart tag and the “T“ icon was missing for a few users — corrected.

Status Bar is Back

We had removed the status bar from desktop after a bug was causing it to show "Market Closed" on network errors — which was misleading. That's been fixed, and the status bar is back with accurate market status and connectivity indicators.

Mobile Crash Fixes

While the team has been heads-down on desktop, we also shipped fixes for crashes some of you were hitting on Android:

• Dashboard launch crash — app was crashing on startup for some users. Fixed.

• Offline sync crash — app was crashing when trying to sync while offline. Now handles disconnected states properly.

• Database corruption crash — RARE but critical crash caused by corrupted local DB. Patched.

What's Next

The next desktop beta drop will happen once we fix the issues / suggestions that came in the first batch. So that the second batch will get a more improved and even better Punch Desktop. 

Keep the reports coming — this is the phase where they have the most impact.
