The big update is here! As promised during the SIF Thanksgiving Festival, many new features have been added and this can get pretty confusing. Let's hop right to it!

When you first enter the app, you will probably be greeted with a screen like this.



This is really just a list of all the Tasks you have already completed. We'll talk more about Tasks later.



The new homescreen! Though yours will still be plain until you customize it. The major differences are only three: The new "Title" on the top left, the "Tasks" (課題) shortcut near the middle on the notepad, and the laptop on the right for game news.

Please go ahead and tap on the blue Options gear tab at the bottom right. The Options screen has also been updated.

The new features are circled and subtitled, let's move onto the first one:

Tasks

Tasks are the same as they have always been, rewards you get for completing certain activities such as "Idolize X number of students" or "Max out X number of students' levels". However, there are now a larger variety of tasks you can complete for rewards, and this blue tab pictured is a Daily tab, where the tasks will change daily. In this example, the tasks are:
 * 1) Clear 5 live shows
 * 2) Do 3 regular scouts
 * 3) Use up 5 students for training

You'll get these rewards automatically upon completion unlike last time, so no need to worry. The button at the right is simply for "Details".

I did 3 regular scouts for example, and this is what you'll see.

Title

You can now set titles that will be visible on your profile. However... These titles and their method of acquiring will not be visible until you actually get them. However, they are visible in the Tasks menu. Most of them are under "Live" rewards.

Pro tip: One of the easiest is to have all nine members of a team being the same character in a live show of her character song will give you the 'Character' Oshi title. Eg: Kotori's song is Blueberry Train, Umi's is Yuuki no Reason. Card Attribute, Rarity, and Song Difficulty do not matter.

Set Background

Pretty self-explanatory I would say! If you do not have all the backgrounds yet, they're likely sitting around as rewards in your Tasks.

Seal SHOP

This is likely the most confusing. Let me start off by clarifying that "Seal" is just how they refer to stickers, in case you were wondering what they were going on about. Essentially: collect stickers, redeem them for goodies. Rs, SRs, URs and even blue scouting vouchers are up for grabs!

Important: Note that under the URs, there's a date which states when it's available until. URs available for redemption will rotate every month, so don't miss them if it's the one you want!

How to get Seals? You get Seals when you sell away, or use a card for training. Using up an Idolized card will give you TWO of the appropriate tier Seal.
 * 1) Using up a UR card will give you a gold Seal
 * 2) Using up a SR card will give you a silver Seal
 * 3) Using up a R card will give you a regular Seal

Note that Promotional cards (those given for free in books or as part of campaigns) and Support cards (teachers, alpacas, family members etc.) will NOT give you Seals when used up.



Although this deal might've looked good at first, letting you get a UR of any character you want, you still essentially have to sell 3 URs just to get one. So this really isn't a solution.

But not all hope is lost!



We can redeem blue scouting vouchers with regular Seals! Burn all the R cards awaaaaay!

Other misc update: You no longer have to play lower difficulties of a song to unlock Medium/Hard mode for normal songs. Hurray!

That's all for this update, people. Enjoy!
