2.0
November 9, 2026
St. Mary 2.0 is our biggest update yet: a fresh, consistent design across the whole app, a schedule built around you, and a quick tour of what's new the first time you open it. A NEW HOMEPAGE • A personal greeting for the time of day, with today's Coptic date right underneath. • Tap the status bar for distance, drive time and live traffic to church, and see when to leave for today's service. • One smart feed: live services, announcements and anything that needs you, ranked into a single list. • New notifications show right on Home instead of behind a bell. SERVICES, JUST FOR YOU • Services meant for a group (deacons, servants, college, youth, men, women and more) now show only for the people they're for. • A "Hidden" pill shows what's filtered out and why. One tap brings anything back. • Pick your groups in the new Preferences page, alongside your notification and location settings. ONE CALENDAR FOR EVERYTHING • Services and feast days together in one month view, with fasts highlighted. Tap any day to see what's on. • See exactly where you are in the current fast. SOCIAL AND SERVICE, AS PAGES • The Social and Service tabs now open real pages with everything in one place. Admin tools moved into Settings. HOLY GROUNDS, REINVENTED • A real home base: whether the stand is open, today's wait time and your active order, before you tap anything. • This Week's Specials lead a redesigned menu, and Previous Orders and Favorites are one tap away. • Track your drink on the Lock Screen from the moment you order (Placed → Up Next → Brewing → Ready). • Staff: the Server controls the queue, and ordering can close automatically at a set time. A REAL DEACON DASHBOARD • Your reliability score and upcoming assignments up front. Tap the score for a breakdown and tips to raise it. • Your full history, including past assignments and whether you attended. • Change your answer to an assignment right up until the day of. • Parents managing a child's service get a simple tab for each person.
