Hi All, A new version of the app is available for testing on iOS devices, using TestFlight. The public link is: https://testflight.apple.com/join/jWBSS0Jd Click that link while on an iOS device to begin the process of getting the app. Some notes: This is a completely different app than what was tested before. This is more of a shell around the website that supports notifications and other app features. So, it's more feature complete and behaves more like the website. Also, it will be easier to update and keep in sync with the website. Unread count badges now show up in the app icon. The number represents the number of notifications you've received since the last time you used the app. New messages since the last time you viewed the app are now indicated with a blue dot. These disappear after you've seen them once. Calendar integration doesn't work yet. There is not yet a version on Android for testing. Please report bugs. Thanks, Mark
