more What's new in version 1.10.4:
• Facial check-in: tap an unidentified face in the class photo to say who it is. In the next photos the app recognizes them on its own. The class photo now shows in full, vertical ones included, with all its check-ins in a single total.
• Team: add someone who isn't on the app yet with just their name. They show a No account tag, which is also a filter. From the team or a class photo, complete their details and take a photo of their face, which becomes their profile photo.
• When enrolling your face at your academy, review any matching profile and choose whether to bring its attendance and history into your account.
• Facial enrollment camera with separate instructions, a capture button below the frame, and a close button at the top.
