Version 1.4.1

What's New

  • Closed venues are clearly marked "Permanently closed," with the date the closure was reported and how many days until they leave search.
  • Explore as a guest, then verify your phone number to keep your account and plans, even after reinstalling.

Bug Fixes

  • The Daily Digest now counts the plan organizer as going.
  • Filter, sort and map controls stay available when no venues are in range.
  • Reinstalling no longer asks verified users to verify their phone again.
  • Verifying your phone on one device now carries over to your other devices.
  • A changed phone number no longer shows as verified without a code.

Improvements

  • Your search radius now controls exactly how far out venues and deals load.
  • Plan invites to friends without the app arrive as one clean text, with easy-to-read times like 3:00 PM.
  • Friends you invited before they had the app now join your plan automatically once they sign up.
  • You're asked to confirm before canceling or deleting a plan.

v1.4

Version 1.4

What's New

  • Add your phone number during sign-up so friends can find you on the plans they invite you to — and skip it anytime if you'd rather not.
  • Tap a friend's invite link and go straight to the plan, even the very first time you open the app.
  • Browse happy hour deals up to a week out. The new day picker on Discover lets you pick Today, Active Now, Tomorrow, or any of the next 5 days — dates are shown right in the dropdown (e.g. "Tomorrow 5/31").
  • Past plans now open a read-only detail view so you can revisit who came, where, and what was talked about — without the editing controls.
  • Red dot indicators on the Announcements and Plans tabs let you see at a glance when there's something new — a fresh daily digest, an active plan happening today, or unread plan activity.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed onboarding steps on iPad that could jump forward before you were ready.
  • Polished phone-number entry during sign-up, including dismissing the keyboard cleanly between steps.
  • Member-since date in Settings now shows your real signup date, even after you delete and reinstall the app.
  • Daily Digest now follows your system color scheme on iOS — no more accidental dark-mode flash.

Improvements

  • Invite links now show a quick preview of the plan before you decide to join.
  • Clearer messages when an invite link can't be opened — expired, full, or cancelled — so you're never left staring at a blank screen.
  • Daily Digest moved from the Plans bell to the Announcements tab — it's a pinned card at the top, easier to find, and adapts to light/dark mode.
  • The Plans bell is now a focused plan inbox: invites, RSVPs, comments, and proposals only. Venue announcements live on the Announcements tab where they belong.
  • Create Plan venue picker shows distance from your location, and you can sort by Distance or A–Z.
  • Filters now show the distance slider inline (no more "Change" tap to see it).
