What's New in AlwaysRespond
1.2.0
October 13, 2026
This update fixes a long list of things that did not work in the app, and makes alerts reliable. Notifications - Your phone now registers for alerts as soon as you sign in, so new calls, bookings and job updates reach you. - Tapping an alert opens the right screen, even when the app was closed. - The app badge shows your real unread count and clears when you sign out. - Notification settings show whether your phone allows alerts and only list switches that work. For technicians - Start and complete jobs from the app. Completing a job asks for the final price and sends the customer their invoice. - Accept and Decline only appear on jobs waiting for your answer, and each job is listed once. - Your home screen counts the jobs you finished today and says so when it can't load. - Sharing your location stops when you sign out. Jobs, dispatch and calendar - New Job finds your customers and saves the time you entered in your business's time zone. - Assigning a technician on the dispatch board now works, and times follow your business's clock. - Booking details load for any date, and failed actions tell you so. - Job details list the job's invoices. Payments and estimates - The invoice QR code and payment link open a working payment page. - The invoice menu has a Cancel button, and marking an invoice paid asks you to confirm. - The Due filter shows overdue invoices, and totals no longer change with the filter. - Sending an estimate asks first and tells you whether it went out by email or text. Settings and account - Saving settings only changes what you edited. - Voice choices match the voices your receptionist actually uses. - Text reminders, broadcasts, SMS registration, locations, phone numbers and integrations show and save correctly. - Staying signed in through a weak signal, without having to re-enter your password. - Any team member can delete their own account from the app. Owners can delete the business. - Privacy Policy and Terms links on the sign-in screen and in More. Plus many smaller fixes to support tickets, team chat, customers, accounting and billing links.
