Each release, newest first, with the headline features and the smaller improvements and fixes for the web and the mobile app.

v1.36

v1.34

Check people in without a signal

Mobile app

Open your event in the app before you get to the door. The guest list is saved on your phone. Search, check people in and add walk-ups as normal. Everything syncs when you are back online.

If two volunteers check in the same person while offline, only the first check-in counts. The other one shows as already checked in, so your numbers stay right.
