With the start of the new year behind us, we finally settle back into the rhythm of every day. In the mean time, we worked diligently behind the scenes to bring you this latest update to the OuderApp! In this update we worked on performance improvements, bug fixes and small add-on functionalities. So read on if you want to know what's new and exciting in this version!

New features

Login

• To better support the new login flow, a popup message is now shown when an incorrect email address is entered on the start screen, instead of navigating directly to the organization code screen. This allows users to quickly check for typos and try again.
• A new button has been added to allow users to navigate directly to the organization code screen.

Push notifications

• Improved navigation when tapping on a push notification, based on the message type.
• On Android devices, a local notification is now shown during batch media downloads to indicate download progress.

solved bugs

• Fixed an issue where vacation was incorrectly labeled as “vacation” and the floating action button was not shown.
• Fixed an issue where invoices or contracts could not be opened due to a malformed URL.
• Fixed an issue preventing users to login, caused by special characters in the organization name.
• Improved error handling when requesting extra care.
• Fixed an issue where the loading indicator on the Planning tab continued to show even after data had finished loading.
• Fixed a layout issue where long child names caused the three-dots menu on the planning card and the date on the timeline to be pushed too far to the right.
• Improved how the app handles media downloads when navigating to a different screen while downloading.
• When requesting a password reset, a proper message is shown when the entered e-mail address is unknown.

🎁

Sinterklaas came by to see
what gift for parents there might be.
No chocolate treats or sweets this time,
but a refreshed app — both subtle and sublime.

With improvements layered front and rear,
to make the experience better this year.

NEw Features

• Saving multiple media items at once
  You can now download up to 20 photos and/or videos at the same time to your device.This works from the All media tab or inside an album via the button in the top-right corner. Once tapped, you can select multiple items. Use the download button at the bottom to start saving, and a progress bar will show how many items have completed.

Fixed bugs

• When requesting irregular care, the remaining available hours are now correctly displayed in the budget overview.
• When requesting extra care, the note you enter is now properly included and sent along with the request.

UI/UX

• The planning tiles on the Home tab have been combined into a single, clear planning card at the top of the screen. This provides an at-a-glance overview of children’s planning for today. The planning shortcuts are still available via the three-dot menu.
• The list of children is now directly visible on the Profile screen, making it easier and faster to view and edit information about the children.
• The app’s color theme has been updated to align with Material Design guidelines, improving contrast and accessibility.
