LIVE ACTIVITIES & SMARTER COORDINATION
CrewCast 1.7 brings production state to your Lock Screen, smarter timed actions, and a better-looking crew list.
LIVE ACTIVITIES
- Current action appears on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island
- Server-anchored countdown — every device sees the same time
- Tap the activity to jump straight into the production
- Auto-dismisses when the action ends or expires
EXTEND OR END EARLY
- Need five more minutes on lunch? Tap the call-off button to add time
- Need to cut short? End early with a quick reason
- Crew sees a structured chat message — "Lunch ended early" or "Lunch extended by 5 min" — so everyone stays aligned
SMARTER AVATARS
- Photo uploads are now properly center-cropped (no more squashed faces)
- Without an uploaded photo, CrewCast falls back to your Gravatar profile
- No Gravatar? You get a role-based icon — camera, microphone, megaphone, clapperboard, etc.
- Pick which source to use from your profile settings
BEHIND THE SCENES
- More reliable push notifications for chat and check-ins
- Faster production switching with multi-production support
- Account deletion now correctly removes all memberships and owned productions
