### 1/5 — Absolutely poor

*2026-07-09, version 1.1.0*

The last app/first version worked perfectly fine for seeing when I am on/off for wholetime and on-call, this version there is so much going on and the app is so slow, I am constantly logged out of the app which is a pain for booking on/off in a hurry.

please go back to the old version, it was so much better and easier. it’s quicker to log on to the website via my phone than to the app if I could rate 0 stars I would.

### 2/5 — Awful

*2026-07-01, version 0.19.0*

The last app worked perfectly fine and it was simple to navigate and book off. If it’s not broken, don’t fix it 😡

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.15.0 — 2026-10-21

Messages:
- We've redesigned the list to be cleaner, simpler, and much more comfortable to navigate.

OnCall:
- After an availability change is saved, the app now shows a confirmation message that says what changed and for which time window.

### 1.14.0 — 2026-10-15

Messages:
- Fixed an issue where deleted messages would sometimes reappear.
- Users can now delete multiple system messages at once.
- Users can now filter the inbox down to unread messages only.
- The bottom navigation bar now stays visible while you read a message, also when you open it from a
  notification, so you can go straight to the rota or another screen.

Navigation:
- Fixed an issue where the More menu didn't update after adding or removing tabs in Configure Tabs.

Settings:
- The user can choose when the app icon badge clears, and fixes the reasons the badge was unrealiable.

### 1.13.1 — 2026-10-09

- Performance improvements to the Group Rota screen. This screen should load faster, stay responsive, and reduced loading times.
- Screens with pull to refresh now also refresh by themselves when you return to the app after more than 5 minutes, so they no longer show data from before the app went to the background. Contracts, future team exchanges and station member details can now be pulled to refresh too.
- Opening an incident or message from a push notification no longer crashes the app. A message now opens right away and loads while you see it.
- When you respond to an incident, the Accept and Reject buttons now stay visible and your choice is highlighted, so you can see and change your response at a glance.

### 1.12.0 — 2026-09-29

What's New

Requests Redesign: The Requests tab has been completely visually overhauled. Statuses are spelled out clearly, colors match Website, and the notification badge now only counts requests that require your action. The list also defaults to a new "Relevant to me" filter.
Smarter Duty Exchanges: When creating an exchange, you can now filter candidates by group and availability. The detail screen also shows exactly who was invited and how they responded (pull down to refresh).
Time-Sensitive TTS: Incident text-to-speech alerts will now intelligently skip playing if the notification arrives too late to be useful.
Update Banner: Added an in-app banner to gently notify you when a newer version of the app is available.
 Performance & UX

Instant Schedules: The app now instantly loads your last-viewed rota on a cold start while quietly refreshing in the background. No more waiting on the loading spinner when opening the app.
Smoother Scrolling: The underlying schedule engine has been massively optimized. Paging through the Group Rota and On-Call views is now significantly faster, especially for large stations.
 Bug Fixes

Fixed a critical issue where editing your availability could fail or cause infinite loading spinners.
Fixed iOS 27 scrolling glitches where the schedule toolbar and timeline ruler would get stuck or drift out of place.
Fixed Personal Tiered Response Levels (L1-L4) not displaying on the on-call schedule.
Fixed the bottom availability indicator occasionally disagreeing with the timeline schedule.
Fixed absence requests occasionally missing certain availability codes.

### 1.10.2 — 2026-09-22

General
- Fixed the toolbar no longer hiding and reappearing while scrolling the schedule on iOS 27.

Group Rota
- Fixed the hour ruler above the on-call timeline not scrolling correctly on iOS 27.
