Fixed: if you added a file asset without a file extension, it would crash the app, which isn’t particularly helpful. It doesn’t do that anymore.
Fixed: the app was pretty sensitive about importing data collections that contained unparsable characters and symbols. It can be like that sometimes. We’ve asked it to calm down and ignore those characters now.

New: you can now use .url assets as a step attachment. Visit our Knowledge Base to find out more!

Fixed: selection steps didn’t always have the correct background colour. Now they do.
Fixed: the photo annotation feature could cause the application to crash, which was not ideal. Annotate away now in the knowledge that the application will not randomly close itself!

New: you can now click on a photo you've taken to go to an annotation view. Draw away! Visit our Knowledge Base to find out more!

New: you can now add data collections into your workflows. The app will sync down your data collection and it can be used within a workflow. For example, if you have a table of on-site equipment and you need to look up specific records. Visit our Knowledge Base to find out more!
New: we’ve overhauled the user interface when you’re outside of an active job. Hopefully it’s more intuitive and responsive, please let us know what you think!
New: you can now log into the app using Google or Microsoft login. Visit our Knowledge Base to find out more!
New: the app will now give you smart workflow suggestions on the home screen. If you regularly complete a certain workflow, or have a new one assigned to you, you will be able to access it quickly from the home screen.

New: you can now use OnSight Connect by our partner Librestream to make a video call. Visit our Knowledge Base to find out more!
Fixed: sometimes, the app would show options to abandon or resume a job where it wasn’t possible, because the job had already been abandoned. That was pretty misleading and unhelpful, so it doesn’t do that anymore.
Fixed: some of the touch points on icons on a Media Step were small, meaning they were hard to press. That was really annoying wasn’t it? We made them bigger.
Fixed: long text on Decision Step buttons would truncate in a really messy way. We unmessified it. That’s a word, look it up.
Fixed: sometimes, when you had to login again, the app wouldn’t automatically show the login screen. An oversight on our part, whoops! It shows now.

New: we made changes to the Android sync mechanism to improve performance. While your data would always sync, it could often be a bit slow. It should happen a little faster now!
New: we have increased our support for Bluetooth connected scanners and keyboards
New: we have added support for 1-2-8 barcodes in our barcode step, which you can use 365 days a year. So 128/365
New: user experience can be very subjective. What one person likes, somebody else dislikes. We have made a number of UX changes in the app, and we like them. Please let us know if you do too!
Fixed: the app didn’t tell you when it had no internet connection if you were connected to Wifi. This was unhelpful, so we changed it
Fixed: form steps didn’t always set the correct default values for the workflow. By default, they do now
Fixed: the abandon job button would be displayed on completed and already abandoned jobs, which is confusing as you can’t abandon something you already abandoned. Now you can only abandon an active job, which makes more sense
Fixed: you should only be able to log into the app with a user account that has permission to use the app (execute permission). Previously it didn’t give you a login error, which was somewhat of an oversight. It does now
Fixed: legacy WorkfloPlus decision steps would show the options ‘yes’, ‘no’ and ‘other’ in the wrong order, which wasn’t done on purpose to see if you were paying attention. They now show in the correct order and all is ok again with the world
Fixed: sometimes the abandon job option would show up twice for no particular reason. It doesn’t do that anymore
Fixed: we forgot that numbers can be negative as well as positive. I guess we’re just glass half full people. We’ve changed it now so that on numeric steps, you can enter a negative number like
Fixed: changing the font size on Android would cause the application to crash. Whoops. It doesn’t crash anymore
