The tool we choose here is not to blame, you may easily find out what is it but we won&rsquo;t name it here as we don&rsquo;t want to undermine it.<br \/>\n\tWe add a great relationship with their team, which was very understanding and listening to the changes and updates we asked them to do to fit our exigence in matter of user experience.<br \/>\n\tWe are very thankfully to them.<\/p>\n<p>\tThat being said, we are now working with a new engine and have to run multiple tests with it.<br \/>\n\tIf everything is good, some of the distribution platforms will be changed but at the moment we&rsquo;re still aiming for a release on computer and mobile for <strong>2019<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>\tWe&rsquo;ll let you know what&rsquo;s going on as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tWe&rsquo;re available on social networks if you have questions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Early October was supposed to be the official release date [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":172,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-173","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/og-zone.com\/wip\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/173","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/og-zone.com\/wip\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/og-zone.com\/wip\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/og-zone.com\/wip\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/og-zone.com\/wip\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=173"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/og-zone.com\/wip\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/173\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/og-zone.com\/wip\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/172"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/og-zone.com\/wip\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=173"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/og-zone.com\/wip\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=173"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/og-zone.com\/wip\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=173"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
