Here’s one to prove it:

I had a BIG problem, tap blown at 5am, meant I could not get water to livestock. Gallons of water running, wasted. OAP on my own CRISIS! Emergency Hero found Rob, who came and was SO efficient, connected new tap, problem solved. Five Star Plumber! Thankyou. - Gillian

Believe us now? Welcome to stress-free property maintenance!

Please note: if the contractor requires additional funds for time or parts, these will be requested, and payment taken in-app.


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.29 — 2026-08-27

Home Page:
Redesigned the Home Page layout — updated service category cards (Plumbing, Gas or Central Heating, Electrics, Drainage)

Navigation:
Fixed a bug where using the native swipe-back gesture after logging in could return the user to the Sign In screen.
Login now correctly replaces the auth screen in navigation history, so swipe-back on the Home screen no longer leads back to Sign In.

### 1.0.28 — 2026-08-13

Location Notes:
- Added "Location Notes" info button on the address block (job request, active job screens) — shown whenever the address has notes attached (entry codes, parking info, pets, etc.).
- Tap the button to open a bottom sheet with the full location notes text.

### 1.0.26 — 2026-07-17

See exactly what you're paying for:
- Full price breakdown at request, during the job, and in order history — base price, platform fees (call-out, dynamic pricing), and extras (parts, extra time) shown separately.
- Tap the info icon next to "Platform Adjustments" for details.
- Clearer "Total" summary.

### 1.0.25 — 2026-06-19

You can now set your weekly working schedule directly in the app. Choose the days you're available, define custom working hours, or mark yourself as available all day. Your schedule automatically controls when you receive job calls, eliminating the need to manually switch your status every morning.
The Online/Offline toggle on the Home screen now serves as a temporary override for the remainder of the day. At midnight, your regular schedule will automatically resume.

Bug fixes and performance improvements.

### 1.0.24 — 2026-06-01

Job Completion Evidence — Release NotesOverview
Contractors must now submit evidence (notes + photos) after completing a job to protect against disputes.
