## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.5.15 — 2026-08-28

Accept card payments in person with Tap to Pay on iPhone. Take a contactless card, Apple Pay or another digital wallet right on your iPhone at the job, with no extra reader to carry, charge or connect. It sits on the payment screen next to the options you already use, and cash and the card payment link are unchanged.

Steadier in the field. Saves and status changes hold up better on a weak signal, work still waiting to sync is counted for you instead of quietly disappearing, and there are a number of smaller fixes and refinements throughout the app.

### 2.5.14 — 2026-08-24

Chat is rebuilt around your client conversations. They open first now, and the conversation itself fills the screen instead of sharing it with a panel of booking details. The booking behind the thread — call, directions, the full record — is one tap away from the header when you want it. Each channel now shows which one you are typing in, so a message meant for the client cannot quietly go to dispatch.

Availability and time off are one door. The Availability tab holds both: block a slot from one short sheet, or request time off from the same screen and see your requests beside your slots. Work Schedule in your profile is now your weekly hours plus a link to that one door, instead of two places that disagreed about which was in charge.

A change you save no longer reports an error when it actually went through. A save is judged by whether the server accepted the write, not by whether the app recognised every field in the reply.

A weak signal no longer signs you out. Only a login the server actually refuses ends your session — a dropped connection, a timeout or a server hiccup now leaves you signed in and retries.

Work still waiting to sync is counted for you, and anything the app has to drop is announced instead of quietly disappearing, so you can see what is pending and what was removed rather than finding out later.

Tap to Pay on iPhone is still awaiting Apple's activation for this build. The payment screen says exactly that and points you at the card payment link, and the one-time notice explaining it now reliably appears instead of being spent unseen. Cash and payment-link collection are unchanged and work as before.

### 2.5.13 — 2026-08-17

This release is about in-person card payments — and about being straight with you when they are not available.

Tap to Pay on iPhone is awaiting Apple's activation for this build. The payment screen now says exactly that: the row explains itself and points you at the card payment link, instead of offering a control that could only fail. Cash and payment-link collection are unchanged and work as before.

When the reader is activated, it will explain itself too. This release rebuilds the card reader's messages end to end. Every failure now names its cause and what to do next, instead of a raw error code. A tap you cancel yourself reads as cancelled rather than failed. A payment that was left half-finished on a job is now recognised from the server's own record, so you can finish or clear it instead of unknowingly starting a second charge. And while the phone is still preparing the reader, the screen says so — the button stays pressable, and a setup that fails offers a Retry rather than going quiet.

Also in this release: an updated card-reader component, a chat fix for messages marked as read while a screen was closing, and internal reliability work that does not change what you see.

### 2.5.12 — 2026-08-13

This release is a round of reliability and clarity fixes. There is no new feature to learn — the changes are in the places where the app used to leave you guessing.

When something fails, you now get the reason. Job actions that failed while you were offline, or after your session expired, used to show the same "Something went wrong" as any other error. Now the message names the real cause, so you know whether to retry, reconnect, or sign in again.

The sync badge tells you what is stuck. It used to say only "N items pending · issues" — no lane, no count — so a document upload that had failed for good looked exactly like a queue that was merely busy. It now names what failed and how many, and the Sync Center row for it is one tap away.

Your unsent message survives a tab switch. Typing a reply in a job's chat and glancing at the other channel used to discard the draft. Client and Internal now keep what you typed until you send it.

Photos waiting to upload no longer fill your phone. Queued originals are held at a size limit measured after the copy is made, so a long queue on a bad-signal day cannot quietly take hundreds of megabytes of storage.

Double-tapping Upload on Documents no longer submits twice. A quick second tap used to slip through before the first one registered, so the same document could be sent up twice. The button now locks the moment you press it and stays locked while the file chooser opens.

Client messaging shows its state honestly. When client chat is not enabled for your account, the Client tab is greyed rather than looking identical to a working one — and it still opens, so the reason is right there instead of being a tap that does nothing.

Also in this release: fixes across the upload queue and chat screens, and internal work that does not change what you see.

### 2.5.11 — 2026-08-08

Photo uploads, rebuilt. A detailed photo from a bright scene could be too large to upload, and the job would sit stuck behind it. That is fixed: the app now measures each photo after preparing it instead of before, so large camera shots go through on the first try.

You can see what is waiting. Queued and failed uploads now appear on the screen that owns them — job photos in the photos hub, certificates and documents on the Documents screen. Retry happens right there in the list instead of sending you back through a modal, and an upload that has failed for good is marked clearly so you can discard it and move on.

Documents. Certificates can now be submitted as PDFs. A file in a format we cannot accept is refused up front with the reason, instead of appearing to upload and failing later.

Finishing a job offline. The finish step and the photos hub now agree about which photos are still missing, and finishing works with no signal — the work queues and sends itself once you are back online.

Fewer duplicate messages to customers. Submitting Running Late twice in quick succession no longer sends two notifications; the second is refused on screen.

Photo previews. A photo you just took now keeps rendering after it uploads, including when you leave the app and come back, and previews refresh on their own instead of turning into broken tiles.

Also in this release: each job has a clear photo limit and the picker offers only as many as will still fit, the Sync Center shows entries for photos removed to free up space, and there are stability fixes across the upload queue.
