- Merge several worklists together! You can now merge a vet list, hospital list, or to-do list with up to 23 simple to-do lists directly in Pocket CowCard. Use a merged worklist to complete several simple tasks at once, which reduces processing time and helps you better manage your dairy. Note that you should only merge worklists that handle simple commands and use sounds. See Merge Worklists in PCCMerge Worklists in Pocket CowCard to learn more about this feature.

- DairyComp's Cowfile v10 update is now supported in Pocket CowCard! Pocket CowCard now supports DairyComp's v10 cowfile features, which means Pocket CowCard can display even more information from DairyComp. If you have DairyComp version 25.7 (or higher) and the latest version of Pocket CowCard, you can now see up to 128 supported events and its calculated items, as well as 1500 stored items in Pocket CowCard. It can also support more detailed history data, protocol details, and more. Please note that refresh times will increase to support all of the new information that is being downloaded and saved.

- Cleaner Pocket CowCard home screen: The new version of Pocket CowCard has an updated, easier-to-understand home screen. The Pocket CowCard home screen now shows the device name, Android OS version, Pocket CowCard version number, and DairyComp version number. It also shows the date and time of the last refresh, so you'll know when to refresh again. When you send or receive data from DairyComp, Pocket CowCard automatically sends the device name, Pocket CowCard version, and Android OS version so you can better log updates and troubleshoot any device issues.
- Backup folder can be set before refresh: During a new installation, you can now set the backup folder under Pocket CowCard settings for Android versions A11 (or later) before refreshing first. We recommend that you still test your backup settings, check for errors in spelling, and review folder selections. (Pocket CowCard-1443, Pocket CowCard-1658)
- Cleaned up unnecessary code: We removed deprecated code for old features that are no longer needed, like the Storage Warning setting. (Pocket CowCard-1556, Pocket CowCard-1658)
