Apple Calendar Sync — Your AuPairSync events now appear in Apple Calendar automatically, and changes sync both ways. Enable it in Settings > Calendar Sync. Time-Off Requests — Au pairs can request time off directly in the app. Parents approve or deny with a tap, and approved days are blocked in the calendar. Event Conflict Detection — Get warned about scheduling overlaps before you save, so double-bookings are caught early. Friends & Playdate Contacts — Track your children's friends and their parents' contact info. One-tap call, text, or email — plus contact import from your phone. Help Center & Blog — In-app guides and blog articles with practical tips for families and au pairs, in English and German. Also new: Visa & program-end reminders, au pair emergency quick-access card, unread message badges on shopping lists, contact import on all screens, and a shopping list getting-started guide.
