## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.0.1 — 2026-07-29

Version 2.0.1 — Game Plans, Smarter Navigation & More

Game Plans
A brand new way to organise and discover games. See all your plans in one place — from your Communities and Crews — right on your dashboard. Plus, a dedicated "Find a Game" area to discover open games happening across Hayyna.

Coordination Chat
Chat directly within any game plan or booking to sort out details with your fellow players — no more juggling separate group chats.

Cleaner Navigation
We've reorganised the app to put what matters most front and center. Admin and Super Admin tools now live in your Profile, keeping your main navigation focused on playing, not managing.

UK Phone Numbers
Signing up just got easier for our UK-based users — UK numbers are now supported at login.

Help & Feedback
Got a question or an idea? A new Help & Feedback option in your Profile makes it easy to reach out directly to our team.

Behind the Scenes
Numerous bug fixes and performance improvements throughout the app.

Thank you for being part of Hayyna's journey — keep the feedback coming!

### 2.0.0 — 2026-07-26

This is our biggest update yet.

Crews — Coordinate games with friends across different compounds. Create a Crew, plan games together, and find people to play with, even outside your own community.

Redesigned Dashboard & Home — Cleaner, more informative screens showing what matters: your next booking, open games looking for players, and community activity, all at a glance.

Live Community Feed — See new members, new bookings, and community posts in one place, with important updates surfaced first.

Smarter Invites — Invite friends and neighbours by phone number, see instantly if they're already on Hayyna, and send them a direct link if not.

Plus: dozens of smaller improvements to booking, notifications, and navigation throughout the app.

### 1.0.5 — 2026-07-16

Version 1.0.5 — What's New
Community Requests
Can't find your community? Search now shows similar existing communities as you type, and lets you request to add a new one with just a tap — pre-filled with what you searched for.
Platform Administration
New backend tools for reviewing and approving community requests, managing communities, and platform oversight.
Bug Fixes & Improvements

Fixed an issue where new join requests weren't notifying community admins
Fixed a navigation issue affecting the facility browsing screen
Various stability and security improvements
Improved recurring booking reliability

### 1.0.4 — 2026-07-05

Version 1.0.4 — What's New
Match Making
Residents can now open their booking slots to other community members. Book a Padel court, flip slots to "Open" and other residents can join your match directly from the new Open Matches screen. You can also invite specific people to your game. Participants can track all their matches in My Bookings.
Guest Friends
Add friends from outside your community by phone number. Once connected, you can invite them to matches even if they're in a different compound or not part of any community yet. Manage your guest friends and incoming requests from the new Guest Friends tab in your Profile.
Recurring Bookings
Book your regular weekly slot in one tap. Enable "Repeat weekly" when confirming a booking and choose 2, 3, or 4 weeks ahead. The app automatically books each occurrence and lets you know if any week is unavailable.
Waiting List
Join the waitlist for a fully booked slot and get notified instantly if it opens up. Note: cancellations made less than 8 hours before a booking start time will still count against your booking quota.
Community Board Improvements
Like posts with a single tap. Edit your own posts at any time — including updating the photo. Delete your own posts when needed.
My Bookings Redesign
My Bookings now shows all your activity in one place — bookings across all your communities, matches you've joined as a guest, and pending match invites you can accept or decline directly from the list.
Profile & Identity
New members now set up their full profile (name, photo) before joining a community, so you'll always see real names across the app. Leave a community directly from your Profile if needed.
Admin Improvements
New calendar view in the admin bookings screen — see the full month at a glance with booking counts per day, tap any day to see details, and filter by facility.
Other Improvements

Facility cards now consistently show availability status (Available Today / Fully Booked / Closed)
App version number visible in Profile
Various stability and performance improvements
