## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 3.0 — 2026-09-08

Version 3.0: your AI Assistant, one checkout for the customer, and estimates straight from the appointment.

Your schedule is the front page
Home now opens on today's appointments for everyone, from the first launch — no subscription needed for basic scheduling. The news feed is down to one line at the bottom.

Three doors in
Retail, Hail, and Wholesale each get their own button under Dashboard. Each one opens a new customer with that mode already selected, so you're never dropped on a vehicle picker first.

Express Hail goes straight to the car
No more Walk-Up or Full Claim question. Express Hail lands you on the panels; the Hail button is the claim-first path.

The Tech Network, when you're ready
Once you've sent a few estimates you'll get one invitation to join — see techs near you, join a storm crew, post your wins, ask a question. Say later and it backs off. Say no and it never asks again.

Setup is one screen
New installs ask for your business name and phone, nothing else. Skip it and you're in the app. Language, units, import, and backup all live in Settings.

One checkout for the customer
Travel fee, deposit, repair payment, and touch-up now sit on one list on the customer's estimate page with a single Pay button. Required charges are always in; optional ones, like touch-up, they tick on. One card entry, one itemized receipt. You set it all from Money up front, or offer touch-up straight from the touch-up screen.

Square stays connected
Square connections used to expire quietly after 30 days. The app now renews them, and if a connection can't be renewed you'll see a Reconnect button on the Payments screen instead of a silent failure.

Your AI Assistant
An assistant that answers your business line in your name, takes the whole story, texts the estimate form, and books real appointments onto your calendar. From $99.99 a month with your own number included. Set it up on dentrepairusa.com; the card on Home shows the price and links to full instructions.

Straight from the appointment to the estimate
Open any appointment and tap Start estimate on this car. It finds or creates the customer, puts the car in their garage, and drops you into the estimate. The photos your customer took on the booking form now travel with the appointment and the customer, so you see what you're walking into.

Fixed
- A launch hang on some phones after the last update.
- Appointments booked by hand now create the customer and open the right estimate, and an online payment now marks the estimate paid.
- A travel fee could vanish from a published link when Square's token had expired. Publishing now tells you if a charge couldn't be attached.

### 2.8.6 — 2026-09-07

Your schedule is the front page
Home now opens on today's appointments for everyone, from the first launch — no subscription needed for basic scheduling. The news feed is down to one line at the bottom.

- A travel fee could vanish from a published link when Square's token had expired. Publishing now tells you if a charge couldn't be attached.

### 2.8.5 — 2026-09-03

VIN where you need it
Your VIN now prints on the invoice and on the estimate. If you picked the
customer before scanning the car — which is how everyone works — the VIN was
coming out blank. It isn't anymore.

The vehicle files itself
Write an estimate and the vehicle lands in that customer's garage on its own,
VIN included once you scan it. Your existing customers get filled in from your
past estimates the first time you open this update.

Cancel a subscription from the app
Tap Cancel in the paywall and it's done. You keep Pro through the end of the
period you already paid for. (Subscriptions bought through Apple are still
cancelled with Manage Subscription.)

Wholesale invoice dates
Set the date a batch invoice bills under. Batch daily, invoice Friday, and each
one still carries the day the cars were worked — your net terms follow it.

Fixed: money asks that couldn't be paid
If Square couldn't create a payment link, the app used to save the amount
anyway. Your customer got a "due before we start" with no button. Now it tells
you instead, and saves nothing.
