• The map now shows how many kayaks are actually available at each location right now, and marks a location that is closed. Previously the pin showed a fixed number. • Fixes a rare case where, if the app could not confirm that your rental had ended, the screen gave you no way to contact us or go back. It now has Call and Text buttons and a back button. • The “Did you put the kayak away?” step now scrolls, so its buttons are always reachable at larger text sizes.
