v 2.2.2

If you enjoy using Christmas Guide, please consider helping the app grow on the App Store by leaving a 5-star review!

- Carol shuffling.
Let Christmas Guide choose a random song for you and discover ones you may have never heard before. With the new shuffle button on the carols page, let the element of surprise take control of your music when you're undecided or curious.

- Layout updates.
The premium and tips pages have more or less noticeable layout changes. Through further optimisation and transparency, I made the visual updates to encourage you to support me by buying in-app purchases.

- Minor carols and events changes.
I have changed some carol videos due to restrictions on embedding them. Consequently, I have modified their respective lyrics to reflect the changes. Besides, I have edited some event descriptions with better grammar.

- Premium button.
Non-premium users can access the premium page straight from the main page through a button. However, this button greets premium users with the tips page instead.

- Saint Barbara's Day (Event).
In some cultures, Saint Barabara's Day is the significant celebration of a martyr and a saint. You can now learn more about this event, for free, on the events page.

- Share button.
When tapping the share button to get a comparison image from Who Am I, the share sheet takes some seconds to appear. While waiting for it to show up, the button displays a loading indicator.

- Premium button.
In most cases, paying for the app's full version might be more advantageous to you than tipping me. I have replaced the tipping button on the main page with a button redirecting to the Premium page to learn about the advantages and initiate the purchase.

- Saint Barbara's Day (Event).
In some cultures, Saint Barabara's Day is the significant celebration of a martyr and a saint. You can now learn more about this event, for free, on the events page.
