[Early Release 1.7.7] We were a bit too eager with our navigation improvements; we unintentionally removed the ability to see files on certain itineraries and messed up some targeting for Google maps searches. Big shoutout to Addy, one of our awesome users who notified us of this bug. Huge thanks for your help in spotting this bug early on.

[Early Release 1.7.6] Another visual change incoming: creating a trip feels a lot more intentional now with the redesigned flow, and editing flight numbers or activity titles inline means less back-and-forth. Trip loading is noticeably faster too, with a behind the scenes upgrade running quietly in the background making things snappier across the board. A handful of navigation and auth fixes round it out as well.

[Early Release 1.7.5] Big visual overhaul incoming: Transportation, activities, accommodations, trip covers, invite screens, settings… all refreshed with a cleaner consistent look. Bookings in-review now have a proper home too, with clearer sections for pending and rejected items. Under the hood, map loading, trip dashboard performance, and a pile of performance issues got sorted out as well.

[Early Release 1.7.4] While I’m sad that summer’s flew by fast, I’m excited to bring y'all some big new features to start off the autumn season! Places searched on Pilot have more helpful information and searching activities, experiences, and POIs are now more streamlined. More to come!

[Early Release 1.7.3] As part of the new revamped user experience, we’ve also improved our checkout process, hotel pages, and filter tabs to make browsing and booking much easier. With new things come new pesky bugs, so we’ve patched a few, particularly where trips don’t appear as they should.

[Early Release 1.7.2] Got some exciting new changes. Revamped navigation and search functionality on our planner, which leans on a more mobile-intuitive experience. This is the first of many to come as we look to revamp our mobile app completely. Stay tuned!

[Early Release 1.7.1] Heats on full blast, but we’ve cooked up some improvements. Checkout got a full revamp, and saved payment methods are brought into the mobile app. Sharing a booking is one tap away, and phone sign-in is more reliable with a fallback in place.

[Early Release 1.7.0] Happy belated Canada Day! We’ve been at work with Pilot: notes got some love under the hood, map pins are more animated and reliable, and you'll now see a clearer breakdown of excluded taxes at checkout. A few navigation and scrolling fixes round it out.

[Early Release 1.6.8] You can now buy eSIMs directly from the app when purchasing a stay, and see prices in your local currency. The checkout flow also gets a round of polish and fixes, and there’s a smoother experience on start up for our app. Enjoy!

[Early Release 1.6.7] You can now buy eSIMs directly from the app when purchasing a stay, and checkout flow gets a round of polish and fixes. There’s also a smoother experience on start up for our app. Enjoy!

[Early Release 1.6.6] Brand new Explore with activities and eats are now live on our mobile app! You can now explore and save attractions into your plan straight from the app. We’ve also revamped the sign in screen for a more consistent look, and a bunch of minor but painful bugs were squashed.

[Early Release 1.6.5] While notes were improved, no screenshots or images could be added in. Now, images can go straight into your notes. A few fixes on the manage booking screen and trip title modal, plus the flight blade now shows times in AM/PM. Nice and tidy.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

[Early Release 1.6.4] It’s time to bring some of our beloved web features into mobile: New users get a sample trip to kick things off, transit options are now fully supported on mobile, and POIs in our hotel inventory now link through to their details page. The Others blade got a design refresh too. On the fix side, we cleaned up some map pin ghosting, sorted a few eSIM notification and status quirks, and patched an odd gap on iPhone 11. Feels tighter all around.

[Early Release 1.6.3] Spring cleaning pt 2: Checkout now catches any rate changes before you get too far down the booking path, and a few layout issues got sorted: truncated notes, a hidden footer, and date fields that couldn't be cleared are all behaving now.

[Early Release 1.6.2] Spring cleaning in full effect! Smoother, faster, and a few things that were quietly broken are now quietly fixed. The stays screen handles large hotel lists without breaking a sweat, trip images show up on invites like they always should have, and date ordering on your trips list finally makes sense. A handful of UI polish touches too, because why not.

[Early Release 1.6.1] If you’ve used our app while traveling, it’s probably powered by an eSIM. I’d argue it’s a basic necessity of all modern travelers. So now, not only can you buy our very own eSIMs from our app, you can also manage and install them in one place. It's the gasoline to our planning engine. While that’s being done, we also tidied up a few things on our planner.

[Early Release 1.6.0] The post-booking confirmation screen got a refresh: new design, smoother animations, and clearer status descriptions. We've also moved to Intercom for support, so help is easier to find when you need it. Custom locations were disappearing in the activity and accommodation screens. Fixed.

[Early Release 1.5.5] Getting ready here for the spring break crowd! We’ve moved and upgraded the mobile experience to also include the ability to manage your bookings right on the app. We’re also setting up the foundations for your booking confirmation to be instantly sent to you via the app and push notifications. If you book with Pilot, make sure you get the app to keep your reservations handy!

[Early Release 1.5.4] Hotels, hotels, and more hotels! We’ve patched up several bugs and made improvements to the whole checkout experience, especially on the usability, security and performance aspects. There’s still a lot more improvements, but a good first push. Anyone looking forward to your next trip?

[Early Release 1.5.3] New updates and fixes here! Map pins are now grouped for a cleaner view, and the stays screen correctly centers and zooms to show your markers. We fixed issues with payment creation, pricing accuracy in checkout, and editing costs with different types and currencies. No fuss, all fixes.

[Early Release 1.5.2] New year, new updates! As you’ll likely not recall, we made some major foundational improvements to the planner a couple months ago. As a result of those updates, there were some, let’s call it "rogue" activities that were inadvertently formed, which has caused some problems with core actions. We’ve since fixed that, and introduced new gates to ensure we prevent these anomalies from happening. Hope you had a great holiday season!

[Early Release 1.5.1] Some small but important improvements are coming your way. We revisited our Facebook login flow, and it should now be more reliable. We also made backend upgrades to keep your planning experience running smoothly. Other than that, this should be the final release note of the year. If you’re reading this — Thank you for a great year of planning, and hope to see you in the big 26!

[Early Release 1.5.0] New improvements incoming for our transportation section of our planner! It’s now compatible with most popular transportation apps for faster navigation. We’ve also got our brand new map markers coming into mobile from our web version, and some other improvements on how transportation blades are shown in the planner. More to come, but here’s the first bit of the improvements planned before the new years!

[Early Release 1.4.9] Quick patch round! We’ve improved email validation in guest forms, fixed a pesky OTP issue on phone auth, and Facebook login should be behaving again. Smooth and steady.

[Early Release 1.4.8] Counting down toward the holidays we’ve got some exciting improvements. The map style you see on mobile is now consistent with the map you see on our desktop app: I know, not the most exciting, but at least now they’re the same. We’ve also fixed a few navigational issues and made some improvements to the map pins.
