NEW
• Premium Yearly — every Premium feature for one yearly price, saving 42% vs monthly
• A Done button above the keyboard everywhere, so number pads never leave you stuck
FIXED
• Numbers now save correctly however you type them — commas, currency symbols, and regional formats no longer cause wrong costs or hours
• Tapping into an empty field and back out no longer saves "N/A" as real data
• Part quantities and photo captions now save reliably when you tap away
• Manually set invoice hours are no longer overwritten by estimates or the running timer
• Parts added to an unsaved repair can no longer end up on a different vehicle's invoice
• Company info in Settings no longer disappears if you're not signed in to iCloud
• Invoices now print your exact tax rate (8.25% no longer shows as 8.2%)
• A VIN that can't be looked up no longer blocks saving the vehicle
• Swiping a form closed with unsaved changes now asks first — no more lost work
• Dozens of smaller fixes to validation, document scanning, sharing, and VoiceOver
• Marking a job 'Payment Received' now offers to record the payment, so outstanding balances stay accurate.
