Release Notes & Details

October 19, 2026 🍏 Apple iOS 7.3.8

πŸ› 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.

🐞 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 🌐 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.

πŸ†• 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.

πŸ› 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.

🐞 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 🍏 Apple iOS 7.3.7

πŸ†• What's New

  • Profile like in the web app: Your profile shows all details and can be edited directly in the app.
  • No internet: If the connection drops, the app shows it everywhere.

πŸ› οΈ Improvements

  • Clearer layout: "My Events", the community page, and the iPad views are redesigned. Empty pages show helpful hints.
  • Share event: A shared event link takes you straight to the response page.

🐞 Fixes

  • Group planner: Got stuck with around 40 or more upcoming events.
  • Events: Details refresh automatically after creating an event, and the start time no longer shows a year.

We switched from PayPal to Stripe. This brings more payment methods, and all invoices are directly in your profile.

What this means for you

  • Your subscription continues: same price, same term, same renewal date.
  • Add your payment method again: As the owner of a community, add your payment method once under Subscription. We then end your old PayPal subscription.

  • QR invoice for Switzerland: Invoices in Swiss francs come with a QR code for e-banking and banking apps.
