It was working great, but now I can no longer navigate to “settings” to change some preferences about group making. I have emailed the developer and haven’t gotten a response on how to do so.

What's New in Group
1.4.1
October 21, 2026
• Fixes a crash on iPad: iOS could terminate Group-O-Mat while it was suspended in the background during an iCloud sync. The data store now lives in the app's own storage and moves there once on first launch; lists, events and iCloud sync stay as they are. • Faster on older iPads and iPhones: the people list, team cards, presentation, draw and "who was with whom" do far less work per tap, and photos are decoded only once. • Smoother start: the daily safety copy and the widget snapshot wait until the first screen is visible; importing or exporting a backup and recognising a photographed list no longer block the screen. • Small fixes: an event's notes save after a short pause instead of on every keystroke, and the duty plan is no longer rewritten when you merely open it.
