Product updates
What's new in ReelSpy
Everything we've added, improved and fixed — written for people who use the product, not for engineers.
- v0.13.0Current version
Account pages, bulk transcripts, and pricing that fits you
Every tracked account now opens into its own page with charts and history. You can turn its entire reel library into text in one go, and billing got a real upgrade — your own currency, yearly pricing, free trials, and sale prices that show what you're saving.
- NewClick into any tracked account to see its own page: growth charts, when it posts, which reels are pulling ahead, and a timeline of what's happened on it.
- NewTurn every reel in an account into text at once instead of one at a time, then download all of it as a single file ready to paste into an AI.
- NewPrices show in AED, SAR or USD depending on where you are, with a switcher if you'd rather see a different one.
- NewPay yearly instead of monthly on any plan and save — the billing page shows exactly how much before you switch.
- NewSome plans now come with a free trial. If yours is ending, you'll get an email first so nothing charges you by surprise.
- NewPlans on sale show the original price crossed out next to the new one, so you can see exactly what you're saving.
- ImprovedIf a plan's price ever changes for new customers, yours stays the same for as long as you keep it — and if it ever has to move, you'll hear the new price and date at least a month ahead.
- ImprovedThe Hook Library and your saved hooks now load a page at a time, so long lists open faster.
- ImprovedPasswords can no longer be something too common or something that contains your email, so your account is harder to break into.
- ImprovedSigning up now confirms your email address, and if there's a waiting list, you'll know exactly where you stand.
- FixedTranscribing a whole account in bulk no longer slows down transcribing a single reel by hand or the automatic one — each now runs at its own pace.
- FixedA rare billing hiccup that could quietly drop a paying subscriber back to the Free plan can no longer happen.
- FixedDropdown menus no longer appear behind other things on the page.
- FixedLinks in emails from ReelSpy open the right page now instead of sometimes leading to a broken one.
- v0.12.0
What's new, in plain words
ReelSpy now keeps a public record of every update. From today, each new version comes with a short note about what changed for you — no technical language.
- NewA What's New page listing every update ReelSpy has shipped since day one, written for people and not for engineers.
- NewThe version you're using sits at the bottom of the side menu. Tap it any time to see what changed.
- NewA short note appears once after a big update, so you never have to go looking for what's different.
- ImprovedEvery future update will carry its own release note in English and Arabic.
- v0.11.0
An account's full history
You can now pull everything an account has ever posted, not just its recent reels — and take the whole thing with you as a spreadsheet.
- NewPull an account's entire reel history instead of only its latest posts. If it stops partway, it picks up where it left off.
- NewDownload that history as a spreadsheet to keep or share.
- FixedConnecting Instagram from a phone works now. It used to dead-end before you could finish.
- FixedA missing or broken profile picture shows a clean placeholder instead of an empty square.
- FixedA history pull that runs into trouble now tells you what went wrong instead of quietly trying forever.
- v0.10.0
Fair plan changes
Upgrades start immediately and only charge the difference. Downgrades wait for your next renewal, so you never lose time you already paid for.
- NewSign up with a 6-digit code emailed to you. No leaving the page, no link that expires before you open it.
- ImprovedUpgrade and it applies right away — you pay only the difference for the days left in the month.
- ImprovedMove to a smaller plan and it starts at your next renewal, so the month you already paid for stays yours.
- ImprovedBefore you confirm a plan change you see the exact amount you'll be charged.
- ImprovedEvery email ReelSpy sends now looks the same and carries the logo, so you can tell it's really us.
- FixedBackground refreshes no longer stall during Instagram's hourly quiet period.
- v0.9.0
A home of its own
The app moved to app.reelspy.dev and reelspy.dev became the website you show people. Payments also learned how to send you a real receipt.
- NewThe app lives at app.reelspy.dev now, and reelspy.dev is the public website. You stay signed in through the move.
- NewA welcome note and a receipt land in your inbox on your first payment.
- NewYou get told when a payment fails, when you cancel, and when a refund goes through — no more guessing.
- ImprovedSigning in is safer now that the app and the website no longer share one address.
- ImprovedThe feed opens with the newest reels first.
- FixedThe plan shown in the side menu is the plan you actually pay for.
- FixedThe gauge next to Sync now shows how much you have left, and a stuck sync clears itself.
- v0.8.0
Never start from an empty feed
A brand-new account now gets real accounts to track from day one, matched to its niche — plus a calmer look and a faster Sync all.
- NewSuggested accounts matched to your niche, drawn from a curated pool covering 118 niches.
- NewSync all runs in the background — you can keep working while it finishes.
- ImprovedA new look: a calmer palette, a redesigned logo and a layout that behaves properly on phones.
- ImprovedThe daily Instagram allowance grows as more people use ReelSpy, so syncs stop hitting the ceiling.
- FixedSign-up tells you when your email is already registered instead of pretending it sent something.
- FixedThe guided tour is complete and consistent on every page.
- v0.7.0
Arabic, end to end
The whole app speaks Arabic and reads right to left — including the scripts it writes for you. Niche Radar also arrived: what's working across your entire niche, not just the accounts you track.
- NewThe entire app in Arabic, right to left, from the menu to the buttons to the error messages.
- NewChoose Gulf or Modern Standard Arabic for the scripts ReelSpy writes.

Plans, onboarding, and scripts that sound like you
The biggest release so far: paid plans, a guided first run, and an AI that writes from your brand voice and from the actual words in the reel you picked.
- NewPlans and billing — Free, Creator, Pro, Studio, or a plan you build yourself.
- NewA short setup guide the first time you sign in, so you know what to do first.
- NewTell us your niche, audience and tone once — every script after that sounds like you.
- NewScripts are written from the actual transcript of the reel you picked, not from its caption.
- NewAn Outperforming score that compares a reel against that account's own normal, so a big account's average post no longer looks like a hit.

- NewYour top reels get turned into text automatically after a sync.
- NewDownload everything you've saved, or delete your account and all of its data, whenever you want.

- v0.5.0
Advice on your own account
ReelSpy started reading your own numbers and telling you what to do about them — and stopped depending on any single AI service being healthy.
- NewGrowth Notes: a short read on what's working on your account and what to try next.
- ImprovedGenerated scripts are longer and more usable — closer to something you can film as-is.
- ImprovedScript writing keeps working even when one AI service is having a bad day.
- FixedYou stay signed in on your phone after we ship an update.
- FixedA half-finished answer from the AI no longer quietly turns into a generic script.
- v0.4.0

- NewKeyword replies for direct messages as well as comments.
