NEW: LABOURERS - Short a hand on site? Find a labourer in your city for a day or longer, or post the day and pick from whoever's keen. - After labouring work? Pick "I want labouring work" when you sign up, make your card, and slide to Yes on the days you want work. Tradies in your city can ask you, and new posts buzz your phone. Plus small fixes throughout.

NEW - The Tradie2U helper. Say what's wrong in your own words — "my power keeps tripping", "no hot water this morning" — or show it a photo. It tells you what's likely going on and what's safe to check first, then lines up the closest tradies who can come. It asks before anything is sent. - Tradies can ask it too: for another trade ("a chippy for tomorrow, 2 days"), or for what a job needs, as a pick list you can tick off and share. - Materials, for tradies: the nearest supplier or tool hire that's open, by drive time, your usual ones first. - The map fills the screen, with the ask box, cards and helper over it. - Every tradie is on the map in their work hours. Set your start, knock-off and work days under My Trade → Hours & privacy. After knock-off you're off the map and your phone stops sending its location. Going away? Set the day you're back. On call? Turn on after-hours call-outs. - Every tradie's card shows their hours, like 7am–6pm · Mon–Sat. A tradie who's off for the night can still be asked, for tomorrow. - Trades can message each other: share photos, ask for a hand on a job or a day rate. - Map pins look like the trade, and tapping one opens its card over the map. - A finished job says who it's waiting on and leads with the rating, and a trade job can run over more than one day. - Chats splits into Tradies and Customers. - Every Set up your home question has a drawing, and the home plan has a colour for each trade. FIXED - Tapping a pin no longer flashes or shifts the map. - Trade setup never picks a trade for you, and a trade set wrong can now be changed.

NEW - A new tab bar. Find A Trade sits raised in the middle, with My Home (My Trade for tradies), Requests (Jobs), Chats and Alerts either side. Notifications is now Alerts. - Jobs, Chats and Alerts put what needs you first. A new offer shows the time left to answer as a ring that runs down. A live job shows where it's up to — Accepted, On the way, On site, Done — with the arrival time and one tap to call or message. Chats puts live jobs first, then one row per person. Alerts pins anything waiting on you to the top. - My Home, for households. Your tradies one tap away with Book again, and shareable with family or neighbours. A record of the work done on your place. Set up your home: a few questions that build a plan of checks, like smoke alarms, safety switches and hot water, with a reminder when each one is due. And "Something gone wrong?": emergency guides by trade. - My Trade, for tradies. Your page leads with the one thing that matters most right now, and Set up your card walks you through anything missing — logo, rates, licences, insurance — one screen at a time, showing exactly where each answer appears. Share your own booking link, and the customers who use it book you and only you. - You now need an account to use Tradie2U, and sign-up asks for a mobile number. It is passed on only once a job is accepted, and only to the other side of that job. - The privacy policy and terms are in Settings. FIXED - Signing up as a tradie no longer turns you into a customer after the confirmation email. - Set up your home picks up where you stopped, instead of starting over. - Chat previews show the last thing actually said, not a status update. - Tradies: your position is shared only from the moment you tap On my way, and not at all if you set off without sharing.

NEW - Every tradie is on the map, however far away. The distance chips now zoom the map instead of hiding people, so nobody is filtered out of view. - Two new trades: glaziers and caulkers, with their own specialties — broken glass, emergency board-ups, shower screens, splashbacks and balustrades among them. - A Notifications tab. Every offer, message, arrival and update in one place, with a dot on the bell when something has landed since you last looked. - The You tab is now Profile. - Ask a trade what they charge for a day and their answer comes back to you, on Jobs and on their pin, with their note and a Request work button beside it. - Your invite message is yours to edit before you send it. FIXED - Chats showed an unread badge when there was nothing left to read. - Invite links opened a blank screen instead of opening the app. - A cancelled job now says who called it off and why, in plain words. - The map no longer repeats database errors at you.

• Two new trades: crane operators and riggers, with the tickets they hold — dogging, rigging, crane and EWP classes. • Work you take on: if the list misses what you do, type it in yourself. • Add or fix your ABN any time, not just when you sign up.

• Bring on a tradie: your own invite link and code on the You tab. Send it by text, WhatsApp, Messenger or email in one tap. • An invite counts when they get on the map. If Tradie2U ever charges, you both get a free month for it. • Founding tradie badge for the first 100 tradies, and for anyone who brings one on. • Fixed: pop-up panels — rating, arrival time, report — were cut off at the bottom.
