Tonbridge App

This update rebuilds how notifications reach you, gives admin a proper way to send push and email from inside the app, adds a native What's New screen, and tightens up sign-in security. We also fixed a pile of things that have been mildly annoying everyone for months. New • Notifications, rebuilt from the ground up. Delivery is now handled in-house, so the School controls how and when alerts reach your device. Fewer missed notifications, better reliability. • A real notification settings card. Settings now shows whether Notifications and Critical Alerts are actually switched on, with Enable buttons right there. No more digging through system settings wondering why nothing's coming through. • Login Activity. See your last few sign-ins, including the method used, the device and a rough location, so you can spot anything that wasn't you. • Automatic protection against suspicious logins. Repeated failed attempts, or a sign-in that looks clearly out of the ordinary, now block an account automatically and alert IT, who can review and lift blocks from a new Blocked Users area. • Communications composer for admin. Send or schedule push and email to a chosen group, with merge tags so every message is personalised, deep links that open the right screen, and a full record of who received what. • Native What's New screen. Release notes now live inside the app, with a proper editor for the people who write them. Revolutionary, we know. Fixed and improved • Login and sessions are far more resilient, so you're no longer unceremoniously dumped back at the login screen. • What's New now arrives as a quiet banner on the home screen instead of a pop-up in your face. Tap it if you're curious, ignore it if you're not. • Tapping a notification reliably takes you where it's meant to, even if the app was fully closed when it arrived. • Sent communications now record who was actually reached, rather than a hopeful shrug. • The admin Email Log works again, and behaves like a proper sortable, filterable table. • Music student lists no longer include leavers. Growth. One note: as part of the security work, everyone was signed out once with this update. A one-off.
