more Signing in is simpler: Sign In and Sign Up now sit side by side, with a full sign-up form on iPhone and iPad.
Sign in with Apple, Google, or your email and password. One-time email sign-in links are now on the website rather than in the app.
You can now delete your account and all of its data from Settings.
RFIs now run a completeness check before you send, flagging anything missing — the question, location, spec or drawing reference, photo, due date, or recipient — so you can fix it before it goes out.
4.6.19 Sep 21
Buildr+ 4.6.14 keeps your subscription tied to your account, completes the subscription lineup, and makes Pro access consistent everywhere in the app.
YOUR SUBSCRIPTION FOLLOWS YOUR ACCOUNT
• Your subscription is now tied to your Buildr+ account rather than the device it was bought on, so it survives a reinstall or a new phone.
• Signing in reliably restores an existing subscription.
• Sign-in links sent by email now open directly in Buildr+ instead of the browser.
• Improved diagnostics when a subscription cannot be verified, so problems surface instead of failing silently.
SUBSCRIPTION PLANS
• The Monthly plan now appears on the upgrade screen alongside Weekly and Annual.
• Every plan is labeled with its own billing period, so what you select is what you are billed.
• Selecting a plan updates the subscribe button and billing summary immediately.
• Live App Store pricing for all three plans.
WHAT IS INCLUDED
Meeting Minutes, Transmittals, and Directory are available without a subscription. RFIs, Submittals, Change Orders, Crew Payroll, Daily Log, Punch List, and the remaining document workstreams require Buildr+ Pro.
Please note: if you created records in a workstream that now requires Pro, you will need a subscription to open them again. Nothing is deleted, and your records return as soon as you subscribe.
Pro access is also enforced consistently now. The project home screen previously opened some Pro workstreams without prompting for a subscription.
SUBSCRIPTION MESSAGES
• Clearer wording when a purchase cannot be confirmed right away, with Restore Purchases offered directly instead of a generic connection error.
Existing projects, documents, photos, and offline data remain preserved.
