Recent Bug Fixes and App Updates

A big thank you to everyone who’s taken the time to share their experience with TrustedHousesitters The fixes below are a direct result of what you’ve told us.

Here’s what we’ve been rolling out over the past few weeks.

App log outs - Fixed :white_check_mark:

Some of you noticed you were being logged out unexpectedly. Being logged out after a couple of weeks of inactivity is normal, but for some, it was happening more frequently than that - it should feel more stable now.

Keyboard issues - Fixed :white_check_mark:

There were reports of the keyboard overlapping the text box on Android devices when leaving reviews, sending invites and more. That’s no longer be an issue.

Image Uploader - Fixed :white_check_mark:
We heard you. The image uploader was feeling clunky, and we’ve given it a proper rework on both app and web. Uploading home photos is now smoother, and it’s easier to add/remove your pictures, add captions and manage the order of your photos.

Low Connectivity
We’ve made a few improvements for when your wifi is being unreliable. If you’re adding a sit or sitter as a favourite whilst your connection is struggling, we’ll now show clearer messaging so you know what’s happening.

The same goes for adding/editing dates. If your connection drops, you’ll see clear in-app messaging and next steps (retry).

Under the hood improvements

  • Improved testing to reduce bugs
  • Better error reporting to identify and resolve issues faster
  • Increased app security
  • Improved app architecture to provide greater stability
