### 1.3 — 2026-06-09

This release adds subscription access with a 14-day free trial, optional team sync for branch collaboration, improved case readiness checks, enhanced document handling, fleet compliance reminders, CMA statutory price list tools, and a refreshed website-ready feature set.

### 1.2 — 2026-06-01

• Updated for compatibility with iOS 18
• Bug fixes and stability improvements

### 1.1 — 2026-05-14

What's New in 1.1

A set of tab improvements based on how cases actually flow in practice.

First Call — now includes a Next of Kin section (useful when a care home or hospital calls rather than the family directly), plus a Funeral Plan toggle with fields for the plan provider and number.

Ceremony — added Visual Tribute toggle, a Music Playback System picker (Obitus, Wesley Media, Bluetooth speaker), and a Fleet section for hearse and limousine details.

Arrangement — new Deceased Preparation section covering embalming or first offices, clothing, jewellery instructions, where the funeral leaves from, time of leaving, and where the limousine returns to.

Documents — cremation document suggestions updated to reflect current practice: Medical Examiner or Coroner, rather than the old two-doctor form entries.
