This release of the parent app is associated with the mobile app version 1.9.6.
New features:
- If the user has not completed all the setup steps required for the app to function as designed, the app will now prompt the user to complete the missing steps when the user launches the app.
- When the user clicks on the 'Contact Support' option in the main menu or on the 'Help' icon at the top right corner of any screen, the app now displays a menu of articles that are designed to address questions that frequently come up from parent users.
If the user's question is not addressed by the help content available for reference, the user can still submit a question to the support team, as per current functionality.
The help content is also available in Spanish if the user is on the Spanish version of the app. - If the user is currently using biometric identification based on his/her Face ID or Fingerprint, the same can now be used to login to the parent app.
Enhancements:
- The tracking window for buses to be visible and for notifications to be generated is currently fixed at 2.5 hours each, during the morning and the afternoon. The system has been enhanced to shorten or lengthen this tracking window for any given school district customer, through a request that can be made to the Bytecurve support team.
Bug fixes:
- When the school of a student is updated in the parent app portal, the change was not reflected correctly in the mobile app on certain screens. This issue has been fixed.
- Notifications generated in the back-end were not translated into Spanish when the user was on the Spanish version of the mobile app. This has now been addressed to show notification messages to also be displayed in Spanish.
- An issue was introduced in the last release in the user interface for the School Calendar function in the operator portal of the parent app. This has been corrected.
