Security & Privacy

Your app and server are now better protected.

  • Spam protection:
    The app-to-server connection is now rate-limited, so nobody can flood your API with requests.
  • Optional secret key:
    You can require a private API key so only your app can talk to your server.
  • No leaked secrets:
    Your Firebase private key is no longer exposed inside the app or its API responses.
  • Safe settings only:
    The app only ever receives the settings it actually needs — nothing sensitive.

Crash & Usage Reports

Automatically see when the app crashes and how it's used.

  • Crash reports:
    Firebase Crashlytics automatically records crashes so you can find and fix problems.
  • Usage insights:
    Firebase Analytics tracks key actions (app opens, screen views, taps) with no extra setup.

Smart Config & Caching

The app loads your settings faster and stays up to date.

  • One central system:
    All app settings now load from a single, reliable place.
  • Cached for speed:
    Settings are saved on the device for 24 hours, so the app opens instantly and uses less data.
  • Always fresh:
    The app quietly refreshes your latest settings once every time it's opened.
  • Works both ways:
    Behaves the same whether you use the admin panel or the no-admin (Url.js) setup.

Better WebView Experience

A smoother, more app-like website view.

  • Pinch-zoom & pull-to-refresh fixed:
    Zooming and pull-down-to-refresh now work correctly on all sites.
  • Nicer loading & errors:
    A loading skeleton, an offline screen, an error page with a Retry button, a top progress bar, a real splash screen, and subtle vibration feedback.
  • Website ↔ phone bridge:
    Your website can now trigger real phone features (see New Phone Features below).
  • On/off switches:
    Each phone feature has its own toggle — sharing is on by default; camera, location, files, downloads and fingerprint are off until you enable them.

New Phone Features

Real device features your website can use.

  • Share from web:
    Share content from your site using the phone's native share sheet.
  • QR / barcode scanner:
    Scan a code and send the result back to your website.
  • Fingerprint / Face ID lock:
    Optionally lock the app behind biometric unlock.
  • File upload & downloads:
    Upload photos/files to web forms and download files.
  • Location:
    Pass the device location to your site when it needs it.

Admin Panel Upgrades

New screens to control the app without touching code.

  • Dashboard:
    See your device and notification counts at a glance.
  • Appearance:
    Set your app's theme color and add custom CSS/JS.
  • App Controls:
    Turn features on/off, set allowed website domains, enable a maintenance mode, and control how often ads show.
  • Under the hood:
    Database fixes plus new notification image and target-link fields.

Smarter Notifications

Richer and more reliable push notifications.

  • Image notifications:
    Send notifications with a picture attached.
  • Tap opens a page:
    A notification can open a specific page in the app.
  • Notification Inbox:
    A built-in screen where users can see past notifications.
  • Auto-cleanup:
    Uninstalled devices are automatically removed from your send list, keeping delivery reliable.
  • Modern delivery:
    Uses the latest Firebase FCM HTTP v1 sending method.

Ads & Earnings

More ways to earn — safely.

  • More ad types:
    Banner, app-open, and rewarded ads in addition to interstitials.
  • Policy-safe timing:
    Interstitial ads now show every few taps instead of every single tap — this protects you from Google's ad-policy penalties.
  • In-app rating:
    A native "rate this app" popup that keeps users inside your app.
  • Extra security:
    Optional SSL pinning for your API server (never for the customer website).

Bug Fixes

Issues resolved in this release.

  • The app now correctly loads your website from the API (it used to show a blank screen).
  • Removed the duplicate "Menu" button in the bottom bar.
  • Fixed blank/missing icons on navigation tabs.
  • The theme color you set in the admin panel now actually applies.
  • Saving a device token no longer crashes the server on bad data.
  • Plain-text (non-URL) menu links no longer break the WebView.
