- feature a new feature is added to the app
- pro something that only subscribers have access to
- iOS only applies to iOS/iPadOS users
- Android only applies to Android users
- next update ready and coming in the next update

The Rates chart is designed to be glanceable. It has a fixed rates axis so you never need to guess or check what a high or low value is. You never need to worry when comparing rates with colleagues, friends or through screenshots as you can – at a glance – see whether rates are high or low.
