## What is Research Lab Hub?

Research Lab Hub is a comprehensive mobile platform designed for academic research laboratories. Built for university supervisors, researchers, postdoctoral researchers, PhD candidates, and undergraduate students, it centralises every aspect of lab operations into a single, intuitive app.

For Supervisors and Lab Managers: Manage your entire research group from your phone. Review and endorse student logbook entries, monitor individual progress milestones, assign tasks, schedule lab meetings, manage shared instruments and inventory, and broadcast announcements to the whole team — all in one place.

For Students and Researchers: Keep a structured digital research logbook, track your milestones and deadlines, manage your personal task list, stay informed of lab announcements, and request role changes as you progress through your academic journey.

Key Features:

•	Research Logbook — Submit daily or weekly research entries for supervisor endorsement. Advisors can approve or return entries with written feedback.
•	Progress Monitoring — Track research milestones, completion percentages, and upcoming deadlines with a clear visual timeline.
•	Task Management — Personal and lab-wide task lists with priority levels, due dates, and completion tracking.
•	Lab Schedule — Shared calendar for lab meetings, seminars, instrument bookings, and important events.
•	Instrument & Inventory Management — Log laboratory instruments, track usage, and manage consumable inventory levels.
•	Meeting Minutes — Record, store, and share meeting minutes with all lab members.
•	Announcements — Advisors can broadcast important notices to the entire lab instantly.
•	Member Management — Invite members via unique 8-character codes, manage roles, and approve role change requests.
•	Join Lab via Invite Code — Students who registered independently can join an existing lab at any time by entering their supervisor's invite code in Settings.
•	Backup & Restore — Export and import all personal data as a secure JSON backup file.
•	Dark Mode — Full support for iOS system dark and light mode.
•	Secure Authentication — Email and password registration with role-based access control.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 8.28.5 — 2026-08-28

What’s New in Lab Research Hub 8.28.5

• Improved Logbook collaboration: supervisors can now assign an eligible same-lab senior member as a Co-Reviewer for an individual Logbook record. Co-Reviewers can read and comment, while endorsement and return decisions remain with the formal supervisor.
• Added pull-to-refresh on the Dashboard for immediate updates whenever you need the latest lab information.
• Improved Dashboard header responsiveness for laboratories with longer names.
• Improved Logbook permissions, reliability, and overall performance.

### 8.28.3 — 2026-08-27

• Added a Refresh button on the Dashboard for immediate updates whenever you need the latest tasks, notices, events, and lab information.
• Added Operational Metrics for supervisors to monitor background scheduler health, refresh efficiency, and their lab’s backup connection status.
• Improved background processing, notifications, backup transfers, and image-upload efficiency for a more responsive experience.
• Improved reliability and performance across tasks, Logbook, bookings, inventory, and lab management screens.

### 8.28.1 — 2026-08-20

What’s New in v8.28.1

• Customisable Supervisor Dashboard
Supervisors can now choose which dashboard widgets are shown for their laboratory from Settings. Preferences are saved securely per lab and do not affect other laboratories.

• Improved Accessibility
The dashboard and Settings are now easier to use with VoiceOver, larger iPhone text, clearer labels, stronger visual contrast, and larger tap targets.

• Logbook Co-Supervision
Supervisors can assign a postdoctoral reviewer to a student or to an individual submitted log. Assigned reviewers can read and comment only on the permitted records; formal endorsement remains with the supervisor.

• More Reliable Notifications
Postdoctoral reviewers assigned to an individual log now receive updates when the student replies, without duplicate alerts.

Improved lab isolation, safer dashboard defaults, and general reliability refinements.

### 8.21.0 — 2026-08-13

Bug Fixes & Improvements
