Release Notes & Details
October 19, 2026 π Apple iOS 7.3.8
π οΈ Improvements
- Event series: When you create, edit, or delete a series, you first choose whether only this event, this and all following events, or all events are affected. Nothing is deleted until you confirm.
- No internet: The notice for a lost connection is easier to read.
- Polish: Several small display issues fixed.
π Fixes
- Comments on events: Tapping the speech bubble in the response list opens the comment again.
- My Events: Changes to an event show up automatically.
What you need to do: Update Gumb in the App Store to version 7.3.8 once it is available. If automatic updates are on, this happens by itself.
September 25, 2026 π Web App: Invoicing and Subscription
Since the switch to Stripe in August, we have received a lot of feedback on invoices and checkout. Much of it is now done.
π What's New
- Purchase order reference: When paying by invoice, you can add your own reference, such as a cost center or PO number.
- Manage invoice recipients yourself: Under Profile > Subscription > "Manage billing" you can see who receives the invoices and add more addresses, for example, your treasurer.
- Payment method reminder: If no payment method has been added yet, we remind the owner by email.
π οΈ Improvements
- Billing details: Incomplete addresses or invoice fields are flagged before checkout. The address and service period on the invoice now match your subscription exactly.
π Fixes
- Trial: Adding members wrongly showed a limit warning.
- Series, PDFs, and emails: No more duplicate recurring events, PDFs arrive intact, and event links in emails are back.
September 25, 2026 π Apple iOS 7.3.7
π What's New
- Profile like in the web app: Your profile shows all details and can be edited directly in the app.
