NEW: a home-screen widget — today's lessons at a glance, with a next-lesson countdown for staff and the next lesson plus balance for parents. The app now opens straight to your day (instant start from a saved snapshot), shows an unread badge on the icon, and adds home-screen shortcuts for New Lesson, Attendance and Invoices. Gentle haptics confirm completed actions, a clear banner appears when you're offline, links in messages open on the right page, and the white launch flash is gone.

Notifications now arrive properly — lesson changes, payments and messages, for staff and parents alike. Links in LessonLoop emails open straight in the app on the right page. Currency icons now show £ throughout. Plus the Term Planner, family-account links, automated invoice reminders and polish from 2.0.5.

Scheduling gets sharper: tap any lesson for an at-a-glance details card — students, teacher, time and join link — with attendance and editing one tap away. Editing a lesson is now a single Save that applies exactly what you changed, and scheduling dialogs fit comfortably on every screen size. Plus smaller fixes and polish throughout.

• Fixes the family portal not showing your children, lessons or bookable slots on iOS • Make-up lesson booking now explains exactly why no times are available, and shows your make-up credit balance • General reliability improvements across scheduling, messaging and invoices

Roster import now carries each student’s instrument, invited teachers get a clearer guided setup, and payment-setup errors explain themselves properly. Plus reliability fixes throughout.

Polish across the whole app: clearer student and teacher lists, a truthful lesson history with upcoming lessons split out, tidier statements and reports, a smarter public booking page, and dozens of small fixes.
