Some venues take their PingCy bookings in their own booking app. For those, tap Hold it for me: PingCy holds your spot for 15 minutes while you book there, then you tap I booked it. If you could not book, you say why in one tap and nothing counts against you. A venue can now add a note, such as how to find it, with a button to call.

Offer photos now show in the frame the venue chose. An appointment tells you exactly what to show when you arrive, and if a venue has to cancel your booking, the app tells you why, with nothing counted against you. A notification that arrives while the app is open now shows on screen.

Choose whether PingCy may tell Meta (Instagram, Facebook) when the app is installed and opened, so we can see which of our ads work. Plus Greek text in the PingCy typeface on every screen.

New look, same PingCy. Setup now starts with the places not on PingCy yet: ask for the ones you love, 5 at a time. Search any place in Explore and ask for it. Home shows what is open right now. Your code screen says when to show it (when you arrive, before you order) and shows Checked in after the scan. Send yourself a test ping from Settings, and find answers under Help.

Setup asks one optional question: where you heard about PingCy. It helps us put our posts and flyers where they bring people. Also: your claim code and long place names now always fit the screen, and the sign-in links no longer run off their buttons in Greek.

Kinds of places that have no place on PingCy yet now say so in setup and Preferences, and you can still pick them: their offers reach you once the first place joins. If none of your picks has a place yet, Home tells you, so you can add one that does.

A cleaner Home: your offers unlock on Friday 4 December, with a live countdown and your standing at a glance. Larger text on the first screens. In the deck, Skip moves to the next card, and a skipped place comes back after 14 days. Not now is on the place itself, in Explore and on an offer after you pass. New members start at 5 km, and members at 2 km can switch to 5 km in one tap.

Opening day is Friday 4 December, and Home now counts down to it: your standing, the three daily actions and the points they earn. Swipe the deck any time: the places on PingCy and a guide of Limassol places rated 4.4 and up, which you can vote in. Not now parks a place for 30 days. Bring it back whenever you like.

Some venues ask you to call them to book the slot you take: the number is on your code, one tap to call, and you still show your code when you arrive. When the venue has booked it for you, your code says so.

Group offers at the desk now give you time to check with your group: tap Hold it for my group, then We're on for your code, or We can't make it. No answer in time and the spot is freed for someone else, with no penalty. A promo code for a booking app names the time to book. Giving a spot back says which rules apply. The two big cards on Home are now the same size.

PingCy 2.1: choose your places. • On your first run, swipe through nearby places: right means invite me first once 5 members ask, left means no pings from that place, ever. • A short animated intro explains invitations, the 5-minute window and passing (no penalty, ever). • New in Preferences: Hidden places, where one tap unhides anything you swiped away. • Explore now shows which places are on PingCy and which are not on it yet; asking for those is a vote that helps bring them on board.

New: sign in with Google or Apple. A short "How PingCy works" walkthrough on first open, also in Settings. Send feedback straight from Settings. Venue photos load again. Also recent: reset your password from the sign-in screen, rate PingCy from Settings, refreshed wording across the app, and support is now support@pingcy.com.

Free item offers: when a place gives something on the house, the invitation says what it is, how many per guest, and whether a minimum bill applies. Offers now show whether they are for dining in, takeaway or both, and carry the venue's own photo of what is on offer. An offer with several seats invites that many members at once, so you hear about a table sooner.

Last call now lists only offers you can still claim, with the time left shown in hours or days when it is more than two hours. Your walk time is estimated only when you ask for it. Small fixes to the code and review screens.

Your code has its own screen now, one tap from Home. Tapping a notification opens the offer directly. New optional setting: only offers you can reach in time, using your rough position while the app is open. Founding members from the waiting list are pinged first.
