Version History Improved: • Plan Titles are now included on SignUp Sheets • Chat Improvements 6.9.5 3d ago Stale item assignments: Leader assignments now clear properly when a position changes hands. No more ghost leaders haunting your service. 6.9.4 Jun 21 New: - Help Docs: The in-app help documentation now points to the right URL. No more getting lost on the way to getting help. Fix/Improved: - Chat: Messages were going missing after backgrounding the app and unread indicators refused to take a hint. Both are fixed. Your inbox can rest easy. - CarPlay Metrics: Added behind-the-scenes analytics for CarPlay sessions so we can keep making that experience worth the drive. - Other under-the-hood improvements 6.9.3 Jun 15 Leaders get the spotlight, names get more real estate, and a few gremlins got shown the door. Improved: • Leader Assignments on mobile. You can now add leader assignments for new items right from your phone. • Leader names in Order of Service. Leader names now appear alongside their avatars in the order of service. Faces are great, but names help too. Fixed: • Split-team scheduling. Removing a split-team member from both times in a plan no longer incorrectly results in an “Unassigned” scheduling. Phew. • Song item descriptions truncated. Song item descriptions were getting cut short in plan view while non-song items were not. Everyone gets full sentences now. • Wrong leader column title in Order of Service. The leader column now displays the correct title. It knew who it was all along. 6.9.2 Jun 6 Eight fixes, one update, zero crashes. We’ve been busy. New • “Unavailable” and “Once a Quarter” scheduling options. Same great options, now on iOS too. Your schedule preferences just got a whole lot more flexible. Improved • Hamburger Menu on phones. Swapped the Column menu for a Hamburger Menu on phone devices. Easier to reach, less head-scratching. • Song sequence spacing: The song sequence section in the edit song item screen was hogging too much screen. Reined in. Fixed • Blockout dates + household members. Household members now show up correctly when adding a blockout date from your profile. No more flying solo. • Crash when sorting songs by Title. Sorting songs by Title no longer sends the app into a full meltdown. Sort away. • Viewers modifying positions. Fixed a bug where Viewers could temporarily adjust assigned positions. They couldn’t save the changes, but still, tidied up. • File upload loop. Uploading a file to a song no longer gets stuck spinning forever. It just finishes. Revolutionary. • “Subscribe to Calendar” button. This button now works correctly when you’re set to “Add Events Only” permission. Back on the calendar. 6.9.1 Jun 1 What’s New: - Volunteer Replacements — Life happens! Now when a volunteer declines, they can find their own replacement instead of leaving that job to you. Less chasing, more worshiping. - Song & Item Leader Assignments — You can now assign leaders to specific songs and items in your order of service. The right person for the right moment, every time. - View All Leader Assignments — Ever wonder who’s leading what? A new menu option on the Plan lets you see ALL Leader assignments from the order and the media player, not just your own. No more guessing who’s leading that song. 10,000 more reasons to celebrate. Fixes: - Teams were playing hide and seek when accessed from your Profile, we found them.
