Steadier live chat and maps. When a session expires, chat and the live inspector map now reconnect cleanly instead of retrying in a loop. Under the hood, UI freezes are now reported so they can be fixed. ### Fixed - **Live chat and map** — the connection recovers after a session refresh or a dropped network, with backoff, instead of reconnecting in a loop. ### Changed - **Error reporting** — moments when the app freezes are now reported, so slow screens can be found and fixed.

A clearer store listing and steadier uploads. Qovo now describes itself as a used car inspection app in Ukrainian and English, and is filed under the right categories. Under the hood: a more reliable upload queue, safer sign-out, and better error reporting. ### Changed - **Store listing** — new name, subtitle, keywords and categories (App Store: Utilities and Shopping; Google Play: Auto & Vehicles) in Ukrainian and English, so inspections are easier to find in search. - **Dropped connections** — requests that fail on a bad connection are retried automatically. ### Fixed - **Sign-out** — local data is wiped reliably and uploads stay with the account that started them. - **Upload queue** — several ownership and timing fixes for background uploads. - **Forgot password** — the back button works and the button count is correct. - **Privacy** — error reports no longer carry route arguments.

A far more detailed inspection report. Inspectors now give a clear verdict and their own opinion of the car, assess the odometer, log several defects per part, record measurements against the norm, and tell every kind of fuel (petrol, diesel, hybrid, electric, LPG) its own checklist. Videos can be up to 1 GB and keep uploading in the background. Clients can ask for a deeper expert inspection right in the chat, and inspectors can save cars they like and see live demand on the map. Chat stays open after an order ends, and the app is ready for iOS 27. ### Added - **Inspector verdict and opinion** — "recommend", "recommend with reservations" or "do not recommend", plus a written opinion of the car, shown as a badge in the client report and PDF. Required to complete an inspection. - **Odometer assessment** — the inspector states whether the mileage matches, is in doubt or looks rolled back, with the signs and photos behind it, and the client sees a badge in the report. - **Checklists per fuel type** — petrol, diesel, hybrid, electric and LPG each get their own engine screens and required fields, in the report and the PDF. - **Several defects per part** — a defect list per part with add, edit and delete, a custom defect with suggestions as you type, and every defect in the client report. - **Measurements against the norm** — paint thickness, brake pads, battery health and compression, each shown next to its norm. - **Wheels and tyres** — 2, 4 or 6 wheels with a sheet per wheel, DOT code, several defects per tyre and rim, and axle geometry. - **Large videos** — record without a time limit and upload up to 1 GB, resuming after a bad connection, with an upload widget that keeps going in the background and a proper video player. - **Expert follow-up** — after a finished Essential inspection, offer a deeper one as a new order in the same chat. - **Saved cars for inspectors** — a heart to save a car, a "My cars" screen, push notifications about saved cars, and live counters on the map pin showing favourites, messages and orders for the car. - **Car card before the order** — inspectors can open a car's card, with demand and body type, before any order exists. - **Car status "Looking for an inspector"** — and several parallel orders for the same car. - **Contact button** — the phone number appears after payment, with a "Write in chat" shortcut and a one-tap call. - **Rate the app** — after a good inspection the app asks for a store rating, at most once every 120 days. ### Changed - **Changing date or place before payment** — resets the price and creates a new offer, shown as a "Terms changed" card with "same price" or "new price". - **Chat stays open** — it is no longer blocked after an order is completed or cancelled; only blocking a user locks it. - **Orders are no longer cancelled by timers** — and an inspector sees the right status on a refunded order instead of "Pending". - **Better ad attribution** — Apple Search Ads and Meta installs now reach our reporting with their campaign details. - **Android** — now targets API 36, as Google Play requires. - **iOS** — supports iOS 27 (new UIScene lifecycle); built on Flutter 3.47.

Sign in with Google, Apple, or just a phone number — no password needed. Explore the app before you sign up: browse inspectors on the map, read a sample report and check prices. Payments are clearer, with live status in chat and on your order plus a proper result screen. Address search now understands the city and country you typed and names the place under the pin, not the road it stands on. And the whole interface moved onto one design system, so colours, icons and dark mode are consistent. ### Added - **Sign in with Google and Apple** — one tap on the welcome screen, with a consent step and a name prompt when the provider doesn't share one. - **Passwordless signup** — register and sign in with just a phone number and a one-time code; email stays optional. - **Guest mode and in-app landing** — explore inspectors on the map, read a sample report, check prices and FAQ before you create an account. - **Onboarding after signup** — a short role-aware walkthrough for clients and inspectors, with a setup card on the inspector home that stays until you're ready to work. - **Live payment status** — see a payment move through pending, paid and failed on the order and inside the chat, with a dedicated result screen and support chat if something goes wrong. - **Change requests per inspection dimension** — ask for a correction on one specific part of a report and track each one to its own resolution. - **Search inspectors by name** — not just by city. - **Address label** — the address stays worded the way you typed it, with the map's own line shown underneath. ### Changed - **Address search rework** — results respect the city and country in your query, no longer scope to the country on your profile, ask in your own language, collapse the same street repeated three times, and say plainly when nothing was found. - **Honest device location** — the app asks for a real fix and falls back to an approximate one from the network instead of inventing a location, and the map frames itself by how precise the fix actually is. - **Map pins name the place, not the road** — tapping a pin and searching for the same place now give you the same address. - **Design-system migration** — colours, icons, buttons, sheets and inputs come from one shared kit across the app, including dark mode and large text sizes. - **Order and vehicle cards redesigned** — clearer blocks, seller details, per-car sections and review shortcuts. - **Emails in your language** — order, payment, chat and password-recovery mail is sent in the recipient's language, not the sender's. - **Password recovery** — same rules and the same field behaviour as signup. ### Fixed - Detail screens no longer show the previously opened vehicle, order or chat for a moment before loading the right one. - Map cards and favourites no longer display "Unknown" or save placeholder text. - An order can no longer be created for the wrong inspector, or submitted twice by a double tap. - A vehicle that already has an order stops offering the inspector list, and comes off the map once a negotiation starts. - Client accounts no longer get stuck in a permission loop after opening an inspector-only screen. - "Inspector nearby" push notifications are delivered again in production. - Location metadata is stripped from uploaded photos again, as intended. - Fee and payout amounts render in the right currency instead of always showing euro. - Admin password reset no longer fails, and account-recovery mail arrives in the reader's language. - Chat notification email is skipped instead of failing when an account has no email address. - Many layout fixes for long names, large text and long translations across cards, sheets and the login screen. ### Removed - **Service area** — inspectors no longer set a service area; matching uses the vehicle's location and your position instead.

Your home screen is now a map. Clients see their vehicles and the inspectors available around each one; inspectors see a map of vehicles waiting nearby and can send a friendly "I'm nearby" offer. Adding a vehicle is a guided three-step flow with a location picker, and orders got cleaner cards with My orders / Shared with me tabs. Everything loads faster thanks to lighter payloads and cached photos, plus plenty of smaller fixes. ### Added - **Map on the client home** — see your vehicles and the inspectors available around each one, with quick tap-through to an inspector's profile or your vehicle card. - **Map on the inspector home** — nearby client vehicles, your upcoming inspections and open requests, all in one view with a swipe-up list. - **"I'm nearby" offers** — inspectors can offer an inspection on a suitable vehicle in their area; the owner decides in a dedicated chat. Offers are rate-limited and can be muted. - **Vehicle location** — set where the car actually is when adding or editing a vehicle, so we match inspectors to the vehicle, not to you. ### Changed - **Add a vehicle in three steps** — a guided wizard with a location picker and a review screen. - **Orders page rework** — My orders / Shared with me tabs, per-car details and the agreed total on multi-vehicle orders, and a refreshed self-inspection flow. - **Chat header** — shows who you're really talking to, with the order's vehicle at hand in offer chats. - **Faster app** — lighter order lists, cached photos and map pins, smoother map panning, quicker login. ### Fixed - Home screen no longer shows an error page after a lost connection — offline is handled gracefully. - Map recovers cleanly when the app resumes from background or the network reconnects. - Localized profile location, translated notes, tier-upgrade label and other translation gaps. - Long distance labels and large text no longer break order and map cards.

Pay in hryvnia with LiqPay, Apple Pay or Google Pay, and get paid out in your own currency. Inspectors in Ukraine can add a local IBAN payout method and set their own minimum price. Open a dispute on a finished inspection and talk to QOVO Support directly. Change requests, chat and the inspector map were rebuilt: chat now updates live, map pins no longer stack on top of each other, and long vehicle names and large text no longer break a layout. Plus a long list of smaller fixes and UI polish. ### Added - **Pay in UAH with LiqPay** — Ukrainian clients can pay for inspections in hryvnia, with saved cards and a faster repeat checkout. A one-time currency sheet confirms your currency on first use, and a banner flags when it needs attention. - **Apple Pay & Google Pay** — pay for an inspection straight from your wallet, alongside the existing card row. - **Ukrainian payouts** — inspectors in Ukraine can add a local IBAN payout method with holder name and tax ID, set their own minimum price against a live country price benchmark, and choose the currency they earn in. - **Dispute an inspection** — clients can open a dispute on a completed inspection within a 14-day window, with clear refund information and a direct QOVO Support chat. You can't open a second dispute on the same order, and the dispute card stays dismissed once you hide it. - **Ad attribution & App Tracking Transparency** — the app asks for tracking permission once, right after onboarding (iOS), so we can tell which campaign brought you to Qovo and show fewer, better-targeted ads. Your data is never sold. ### Changed - **Change requests redesigned** — banner, sheet and toasts rebuilt to the new design, with inline editing, resolution info blocks, a cancel-request confirmation sheet, and a calendar marking both the old and the new date. - **Better location and city pickers** — canonical address inputs, a paginated all-cities picker, and change-of-location prefilled from your saved address. - **Chat updates live** — the chat list refreshes the moment a message arrives and again when you open the tab, instead of waiting for a manual pull. - **Orders** — inspectors see per-car details and an agreed total on multi-vehicle orders, order cards show the price actually paid, and there's a direct "go to order" action. Order status refreshes on return, and swipe-back no longer interrupts payment. - **Inspector map** — avatars on pins, co-located inspectors are separated instead of stacking, and panning is noticeably smoother. - **Inspector availability** — added an end-time picker when setting availability windows. - **Push notifications open the right place** — tapping a notification deep-links straight to the relevant chat or order, refreshes order status live, and hydrates the chat header/avatar on open. - **Localization & language** — inline language picker, locale-aware country sorting, auto-refresh of favorites when you switch language, and voice-note transcription appended to the message. ### Fixed - **App no longer freezes on a cold start** while restoring from the clipboard. - **No more phantom sign-up screen on app restart** — reopening the app no longer briefly re-triggers the sign-up flow for already-registered users. - **Bonus balance** is no longer offered on hryvnia orders, where it doesn't apply. - **Withdrawals** warn you clearly when the payout currency doesn't match your balance. - **Layout fixes** — home header, inspection status chips, and create-flow summary labels no longer overflow with long text; blank service labels and the profile menu divider were corrected. - **Location pickers** now handle city-only locations correctly. - **Service-area map** camera now frames your area correctly when you open it. - **Payments terms and landing links** now open the right destination. - **Localization parity** — replaced hardcoded strings and filled missing translations across payout, change-request, dispute, and AI-chat screens.

Sprint S5 — a reworked ordering flow built around **chat-based price negotiation** (agree a price with the inspector, then pay), the new **Essential & Expert** inspection types, an **inspector visibility gate** with guided profile setup, and **automatic translation** of content written by other users. This is a major flow change, so all clients are moved to 2.0.0. ### Added - **Negotiation ordering (pay after you agree)** — instead of paying upfront, you send an inspection request from the vehicle review and start a chat with the inspector. The inspector sends a price offer (broken down per vehicle for multi-car requests), you can counter, and once you accept you get a pay-now countdown window to complete payment. Chat shows offer / counter / waiting / paid cards, a negotiation event-log timeline, the agreed currency, and a "go to chat" action after payment. Unpaid requests auto-expire after one week with one-tap re-request. - **Essential & Expert inspection types** — inspectors choose a type during onboarding and each derives its own form. Expert inspections require the inspector to upload their own photo/video evidence before completing, with an upload flow showing progress and error states. Equipment and service labels come from the backend and are localized. - **Inspector visibility gate + guided setup** — inspectors with an incomplete profile (no service area or missing requirements) are hidden from client search until they finish a new step-by-step setup covering service area, payout details, and profile completion. Clients now see clearer "no services available" states. - **Automatic content translation** — messages, inspection details, disputes, reviews, delivery addresses, and service names written by other users are auto-translated into your app language, with a "Translated / Show original" chip (globe icon + source-language name). Covers 5–6 locales. ### Changed - **Orders & chat** — negotiation orders now live in chat; the chat list shows the vehicle title and a localized last-message preview; request, offer, and waiting cards were redesigned per Figma. - **Accessibility** — price inputs and text fields are scale-safe, so enlarged system-font / larger-text settings no longer break their layouts. - **Localization** — service names and the PDF report viewer now render in the app language; German number, address, and city-search formatting fixed. ### Fixed - **Phone login** no longer drops your session after signing in. - **Bonus checkout** — paying with a bonus balance no longer removes the referral-bonus record from history; the correct minimum card amount is charged. - **Single / saved-vehicle inspection** now opens the right screen instead of redirecting incorrectly, and back-navigation in the create flow works. - **Long vehicle names** are truncated instead of pushing the layout sideways. - **Dispute submission** matches the design and includes an evidence viewer. - **Chat** loads reliably with auto-retry on transient failures; chat header sizing and multi-photo message backgrounds fixed.

Sprint S4 — referral program with wallet rewards, saved-inspector favorites, one-tap rebooking, in-chat attachments, a paginated notification center, order-status push notifications with deep links, the post-delivery dispute flow, smarter inspector discovery, and a simplified single-flow signup. ### Added - **Referral program** — every account gets a unique referral code to share (native share sheet + deep link); a new user can enter a code at signup, and when they complete their first order the referrer earns a wallet bonus. A dedicated Invite Friends page shows your code, total earned, and a referral history ledger (credits and bonus-spend rows merged by date). Referral pushes open the Invite Friends screen directly. - **Favorites / saved inspectors** — save inspectors with a heart on inspector cards and portfolios; works offline (stored on-device). A Favorites page in the client cabinet lists saved inspectors with quick removal, and the map / home "saved" section stays in sync. - **Quick Rebook** — a "Book again" action on completed orders pre-fills the inspector, service, and vehicle and jumps straight to the booking review, with same-car / another-car options. - **Chat attachments** — send images and files in chat with inline preview bubbles, upload progress, and tap-to-open / download. - **Notification Center** — full notification history with pagination (load-more on scroll), pull-to-refresh, mark-all-as-read, and an "Earlier" grouped section; logged-out accounts no longer receive their old pushes. - **Order-status push notifications with deep links** — pushes for inspector assigned / inspection started / paid / report-ready / dispute-opened route straight to the right order detail on both cold and warm start, respecting the user's push preference. - **Smart price recommendation** — inspectors see a benchmark card comparing their price to the country average when setting service prices. - **Inspector home** — new quick-action and stats card (completed count, earnings summary, rating) on the inspector dashboard. - **Post-delivery dispute flow** — a 2-step dispute wizard (open dispute → attach photo / video evidence) surfaced from the post-delivery review, with a confirmation sheet. ### Changed - **Simplified signup** — identity and phone verification merged into one linear flow with a single verification step (no duplicate SMS). - **Experts / Recommended redesign** — unified circular-avatar inspector cards, a recommended carousel, a "why recommended" tooltip, and "View all" to the full recommended list; the recommended carousel is hidden while filtering. - **Localization** — city and country names, inspection timestamps, and weekday labels now follow the app / device locale (24-hour where appropriate); experts and the price benchmark refetch on locale change. ### Fixed - **City / country names** now translate to the app locale across profile, inspector cards, and the location placeholder (was always shown in the source language). - **Wrong initial screen** shown after an app update — a stale signup-draft token is now cleared on launch. - **Review & confirm** screen no longer resets entered data or shows a blank screen when editing. - **Offline errors** now show a friendly message instead of a raw technical error (wallet, chats, notifications). - **Profile-photo crop** now fills the circle (no more black bars). - **Availability settings** — enabling a day no longer throws a validation error when the time isn't yet populated; weekday labels are localized.

Sprint S3 — background photo/video upload queue, pre-login sample report deep-link, Car History via carVertical affiliate, full damage-photo annotation editor, redesigned wallet and inspector calendar, and the post-login profile-race fix. ### Added - **Background upload queue** for inspection photos & videos — uploads run off the capture-screen critical path with a persistent banner counter + Retry; Finish-with-pending defers `/complete` until the queue drains, then deep-links to Report Ready (foreground) or fires an inspection-ready local notification (background). - **Pre-login sample inspection report** at `qovo.app/sample-report` — full 6-section report with bundled demo car, mock damages, and inspector copy localized across 6 locales; surfaced from the home empty state and the welcome page. - **Car History** vehicle history report via carVertical affiliate link (Plan B: admin-configured URL replaces the in-app €9.99 paywall); purchased-card affordance on order detail with a carVertical archive deep-link and a Sentry breadcrumb on tap. - **Damage annotation editor** — circle / arrow / freehand strokes in red / yellow / green at 5px on inspection photos (powered by `flutter_painter_v2`); annotation confirm sheet shows the actual annotated photo. - **Inspector Calendar S3** — Day / Week toggle, in-place day blocking, busy / blocked visualizations in the bottom-sheet modal. - **Inspection supplements** section — clients and inspectors see text + image supplements in the report; voice-to-text input on the supplement composer; iOS attachment upload fixed. - **Wallet activity page** with bank-card carousel (3 Figma backgrounds, swipe-to-snap PageView). - **Inspection time-zone awareness** — device timezone is sent to the backend and used to render inspection times throughout the app. - **VIN ISO 3779 validation** across all vehicle inputs (required on the new-inspection form, single-vehicle picker, and edit-vehicle form). - **IBAN length cap** (42 chars) on the inspector bank-account form. ### Changed - **Wallet redesigned** per Figma 4192-11114 / 4192-10634 / 4247-12357 — white balance card, withdrawal-details bottom sheet fully localized, amount uses theme `textPrimary`. - **Car History PDF** redesigned to single-page A4 with the QOVO header, embedded Sora fonts, and section icons in the primary color (Figma 5665-11990 / 5483-11276 / 5480-12300). - **Inspector Location screen** redesigned to match Figma — light card with outlined pin, green "Current" pill, and city vs. GPS modes that are visibly mutually exclusive; the signup Location page wires reverse-geocoding into the GPS toggle and gates Continue accordingly. - **Welcome page** sample-report link styled without underline / decoration color. - **Download PDF** on the client inspection report now opens in the system browser instead of an in-app webview. - **Post-login profile fetch** now retries up to 10× with paced backoff to survive the BE session race on inspector ↔ client relogin; transient store state is reset between attempts and Sentry breadcrumbs are emitted at every step for triage. - **Damage annotation editor** — header + chip-label polish; info pill centered on the photo area; all 3 color swatches shown in the default state. - **Inspection upload UX** — full-screen "Uploading photo…" modal overlays removed; progress is now reflected in the persistent banner. - **iOS release pipeline** — `automatic_release: true` so the phased rollout starts as soon as Apple approves (was a manual "Release This Version" click); release-notes fallback ensures `submit_for_review` always has copy. ### Fixed - **Inspector → client relogin** no longer leaves an empty "Привет" greeting or a grey `/main/create` screen — profile refresh is resilient to the BE session race and resets transient store state between retries. - **Cold-start deep-link race** for the sample report — back button no longer drops into a black screen. - **Damage photo

Sprint S2 — major feature release: new Inspector Portfolio, Service Area coverage picker, VIN barcode scanner, redesigned exterior inspection, and a new General Photos entry point for inspections.

Fixed Google Pay on Android — payments previously failed with "Request Failed" because the merchant country code did not match the Stripe account country. Wallet checkout now works end-to-end on Android.
