Prelude for Weddings

Prelude 1.7.1 gives the Live tab a new look, on top of everything in 1.7, one of our biggest updates yet. New in 1.7.1 The Live Activity control now sits above the tab bar on every tab. Press play to start it, or tap the pill to see what's on. The Live Now, Next and Wedding Info cards are frosted glass over a soft wash of colour, and the tab bar folds away as you scroll. Prelude also starts in °F or °C to match your phone's region, and the wedding date pickers follow it too. Three Lock Screen styles The Live Activity has been redesigned, and now comes in three styles. Ring fills as the next event gets closer. Line follows the day along a track. Block puts what's on now up front. Choose yours in Settings, under Notifications. The card also shows golden hour and sunset, marks events where you've set mic targets, and shows times in full on 12-hour phones. Import from a link Paste the link to a couple's Dubsado form or a shared Google Doc and Prelude reads the schedule straight from it. Imports also keep going in the background, and Prelude lets you know when your schedule is ready. Weather on the timeline Key moments on the Live view now show the forecast, so you'll know if rain is due before the confetti. You can choose how likely rain has to be before an event gets flagged, and tap the header for the full forecast. Usual events Tell Prelude what you add to every wedding, like a mic check or a drone flight, and it goes into every schedule you import. A new sunset forecast The sunset panel shows how good tonight's sky should look and the best time to take the couple outside. Golden hour times are now worked out the same way everywhere in the app, and they're more accurate outside the UK. Group shots Share your group shot list as pictures, and the share link now works even with no signal. Also new A fresh welcome for first-time users, sign in with Google, and alternative app icons. The drone airspace tool links to the right map in Australia. Events after midnight, like a last dance at 00:30, now sit on the right day. The Timeline tab's heading reads Schedule, and we've fixed a crash on Apple Watch.
