This one's all about reliability when the room gets big. • Faster tallies under pressure — when hundreds of votes land at once, results converge far quicker • A clearer roster — every member shows a friendly device name and avatar, the group creator no longer shows up blank, join dates are correct, and you can tell who's who at a glance • Open polls catch up the moment someone joins, so latecomers aren't stuck on an empty screen • Abstain now always sorts last in closed-poll results Easier on your battery: • The Bluetooth radio now switches on only when a group is actually active, and asks before waking a dormant group — so MeshVote isn't quietly scanning in your pocket Under the hood: notifications recover on their own if registration fails at launch, more silent failures now surface instead of disappearing, and the local database is hardened for stability.

MeshVote 1.3.0 is our biggest update yet. A fresh look • A new Mail-inspired layout with a refreshed polls and voting experience. • Polished group list, creation, and settings screens. Groups & members • A live member roster and poll turnout so you can see who's taking part. • Post group announcements that reach everyone — even offline over Bluetooth. • Share reusable invites, let any admin approve new members, and promote members to admin. Smarter notifications • Overhauled notifications, cross-group activity, and a banner when nearby members arrive. Handy extras • Redeem promo codes and promo QR codes. • Tap the status bar to jump any list straight back to the top. More reliable offline mesh • Steadier Bluetooth sync that recovers automatically and discovers nearby devices more reliably. Fixes • Corrected a misleading vote indicator on some closed polls and a glitch when creating a new group.

Push notifications arrive — and we sweated the small stuff everywhere else. When you're not actively in the app, MeshVote now pushes encrypted notifications for new polls and chat in your groups with Network Enhanced Sync. Messages decrypt only on your device using your group's invite key — our relay only sees ciphertext. Tap any notification to jump straight to the poll or thread. One-tap mute per group. Polish across the app: • Duplicate poll — turn a pending poll into a draft for tomorrow, or rerun a closed poll in a single tap • MeshVote now remembers which group you had open and restores it on launch • Invite QR codes share as PNG images with localized share text across all 12 supported languages • Group settings reorganized into a cleaner full-dialog flow with a dedicated Settings sub-dialog • iPad poll-editor sheets now pad correctly above the home indicator Fixes that matter: • "Include Abstain Option" now actually adds an Abstain button to ballots and results — the toggle was silently dropping the option before • Votes occasionally stuck in "Broadcasting" converge to confirmed within seconds instead of minutes • Smarter notification permission handling on iOS and macOS Under the hood: faster app startup via a 24-hour splash-animation cooldown, hardened Bluetooth recovery (transient GATT errors retry; chronic timeouts back off cleanly), and continued reliability work across the mesh.

Network Enhanced Sync — your mesh, now optionally synced. This is our biggest release since launch. Every group now runs an encrypted cloud relay alongside the Bluetooth mesh by default — late joiners see every open poll instantly, and votes propagate even across segments of devices that can't reach each other over Bluetooth. Events are end-to-end encrypted with your group's invite key, which is never sent to our servers; the relay only sees ciphertext. Prefer maximum isolation? Admins can create a group with Network Enhanced Sync off. That group runs pure BLE — nothing leaves the room. Also new in v1.1.0: • Custom group icons for cloud-synced groups • Faster, more reliable Bluetooth mesh — major hardening on Samsung, Pixel, and Intel-based chipsets • Cleaner poll cards: status chips moved to the top-right • Vote-cast banner now persists across recasts so you can see your delivery state at a glance • Smarter "Bluetooth wedged" recovery: try restarting the app before restarting your device • macOS now runs in advertiser-only mode at large events to free up connection slots for phones Thanks for voting with us.
