What's New? 🆕

Release Notes & Details

November 6, 2026 🌐 Web App: Easier Start and Faster Event Editing

New accounts get started faster, and you can edit events straight from the menu.

🆕 What's New

• Easier start: New users see "How would you like to start?" and choose between their own community and joining an existing one. During the trial, the plus button in the sidebar shows where to create your first community.
• Edit directly: The ⋯ menu on an event now has "Event", "Participants", "Tasks", and "Documents" under "Edit". One click opens the right section.
• Documents at a glance: An icon with a number shows how many documents an event has.

🛠️ Improvements

• Scheduler always up to date: New groups and member changes show up right away, without reloading the page.
• Cleaner layout: Event cards and the ⋯ menu are easier to read and click. Closing the community settings takes you back to the community home page.

🐞 Fixes

• Stability: Fewer crashes when creating events, in event details, and in the scheduler. Notifications are reliably marked as read.

November 5, 2026 🍏 Apple iOS 7.3.9

🐞 Fixes

• Push notifications: Tapping a push notification opens the right page, even if the app was fully closed.
• Chat: The unread message count updates by itself as soon as you read a chat or a new message comes in.
• Intro after reinstalling: The intro screens sometimes disappeared by themselves. Now they stay until you go through them or skip them.
• Crashes: Rare crashes when loading events and when opening a notice window are fixed.

⚙️ Behind the Scenes

• New accounts: Until you join a community, the chat loads in the background without errors.

What you need to do: Update Gumb in the App Store to version 7.3.9 once it is available. If automatic updates are on, this happens by itself.

October 28, 2026 🌐 Web App: Email Feature

The email feature has been fully reworked, with a new design and text formatting.

🆕 What's New

• Text formatting: Bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, alignment, and links. Even longer updates stay easy to read for your members. Links and email addresses in the text become clickable automatically.
• Event in the email: Pick an event and click "Add to email". The email then shows the title, date, place, and a link to the event.
• Review before sending: You see the email exactly as it will arrive. It only goes out once you confirm.
• One field for all recipients: Add members and external email addresses in the same field.

🛠️ Improvements

• New design: The editor is cleaner, the toolbar stays visible while you write, and you can expand the editor to full height.
• Attachments and drafts: Attach files and community documents directly. The trash icon next to the Send button discards the whole draft at once.

🐞 Fixes

• Community settings: Owners and admins who saved changes under "General preferences" sometimes ended up on an error page. You now stay in the settings after saving.

October 27, 2026 📱 Android App 2.0.96

🛠️ Improvements

• My Appointments and Scheduler: Redesigned. You find your way around faster and switch between views more easily.

• Event series and push notifications: The dialogs for editing or deleting a series and for sending a push notification are redesigned.
• Polish: The "Update available" notice is clearer, the task list is more compact, and after saving a comment you see right away that it was saved.

🐞 Fixes

• Crashes: In some cases the app crashed when you reopened it after it had been in the background for a while.

What you need to do: Update Gumb in the Google Play Store to version 2.0.96. If automatic updates are on, this happens by itself.

October 19, 2026 🍏 Apple iOS 7.3.8

🛠️ Improvements

• Event series: When you create, edit, or delete a series, you first choose whether only this event, this and all following events, or all events are affected. Nothing is deleted until you confirm.
• No internet: The notice for a lost connection is easier to read.
• Polish: Several small display issues fixed.

🐞 Fixes

• Comments on events: Tapping the speech bubble in the response list opens the comment again.
• My Events: Changes to an event show up automatically.

What you need to do: Update Gumb in the App Store to version 7.3.8 once it is available. If automatic updates are on, this happens by itself.

September 25, 2026 🌐 Web App: Invoicing and Subscription

Since the switch to Stripe in August, we have received a lot of feedback on invoices and checkout. Much of it is now done.

🆕 What's New

• Purchase order reference: When paying by invoice, you can add your own reference, such as a cost center or PO number.
• Manage invoice recipients yourself: Under Profile > Subscription > "Manage billing" you can see who receives the invoices and add more addresses, for example, your treasurer.

June 10, 2026 📧 Email Feature: Temporary Disruption
