New Features

  • Client engagement insights: You can now see when clients click links in your SMS notifications, giving you better visibility into who's engaging with your inspection invitations.

  • "What's New" updates: A new indicator in the navigation bar lets you know when Hometrace has been updated. Click it to see what's changed without leaving the app.

  • Streamlined client entry: A new guided flow makes it faster to add client contact information when starting an inspection.

Bug Fixes

  • Mobile preview loading: Inspection previews opened from the mobile app now load report data correctly — no more blank screens.

  • Required field validation: Required fields are now validated before you can move past Step 1 of the inspection wizard, helping you avoid incomplete inspections.

Improvements

  • Better mobile experience: Banners, document settings, and action buttons are now properly sized and positioned on smaller screens — no more overflowing cards or hidden buttons.

  • Reorganized settings: Settings are now organized into a card-based hub, making it easier to find what you're looking for. The automated analysis toggle has moved to your profile page.

  • Clearer inspection status: Inspections now display a "Published" badge so you can quickly tell which reports have been shared with clients.
