Version 1.0.0 (131)Latest
- NewA new app icon — a card rising out of a soft envelope, on the same navy tile: your mail goes in, and what matters comes out as a Planner card. You’ll see it on your home screen, in notifications and on the widgets.
- FixedBill trends no longer go missing when an account number is written differently — a bill’s trend compares it with your earlier paid bills for the same account. Emails often show the full account number one month and only its last digits the next, and those bills were treated as different accounts, so a biller you pay every month could show no trend and appear several times on the Paid screen. They now count as one account. A short number that could belong to two of your accounts with the same biller is never guessed.
- BetterOne currency per biller — when a bill or subscription shows only “$” or a number with no currency, it now reads in the currency that sender’s other bills name, once at least two of them name the same one (three when it differs from the country in the sender’s address). This keeps a biller’s bills together in your Paid totals and its trend, on your phone and on the PC and Linux apps you share your Planner with. A currency you set yourself with Edit amount always wins, and a sender whose bills name more than one currency is left as it is.
- FixedOlder bills join their biller — Planner cards made by earlier versions kept the biller’s name only as a “Biller” line and were not matched with newer bills from the same biller. They now are, on the Paid screen and in the trend, when the names are the same.
- NewSwipe through today on the small Today widget — when more than one thing is due today, they sit in a stack of cards with the next one in front. Swipe up or down on the stack to go through every item due today; tap a card to open its email. With one thing today it looks just as before.
- BetterThe small Today widget stacks your day — when more than one thing is due today, the next one sits on a card in its colour, and the edges of the next one or two show underneath in theirs, so you can see what’s coming after it. With one thing today it looks just as before.
- FixedOutlook shows your pins — pinning an Outlook email already marked it “Pinned” in your mailbox, but Outlook only shows that tag once “Pinned” is one of your Outlook categories. After you pin an Outlook email, the app offers to add it for you, once for each mailbox. Say yes and allow it on Microsoft’s page, and Outlook shows a Pinned tag on that mailbox’s pinned emails.
- NewHow a bill compares with the last ones — once you’ve marked three bills from the same biller paid, in the same currency, the next one shows four small bars and how much it changed from the last paid bill (for example “+$22.74 vs last paid bill”), on its Planner card and on its email. Tap it to see the four bills and the average of the earlier three.
- BetterThe small Today widget shows what’s next — the next thing on today’s Planner fills the widget: what it is, its time or amount in large type, and its full name. A small bar stands for each of today’s other items, with how many more there are today and tomorrow. When nothing is on today, it shows tomorrow’s first item, and when nothing is due today or tomorrow it says so in the middle. More room around the edges, too. Tap the item to open its email.
- BetterPaid bills, by currency and by biller — the Planner’s paid row shows each currency’s total side by side. In History, each currency has its own total and a six-month chart (tap a month to see it), and that month’s bills are listed by currency, each with how it changed from the biller’s last paid bill when there is one. Tap a bill to see all its payments, the average and a chart.
- BetterEasier on your battery — the plane on flight cards and in the inbox now flies across once and stops, so the app no longer keeps redrawing the screen while you’re not using it.
- FixedFollow-up flight emails update the right flight — a gate change, delay or new flight number for your flight home now updates that flight, instead of being added to your way out as a connection. A booking reference in a follow-up is no longer shown as a flight number.
- FixedFlights home read the right way — a round trip’s return flight now reads from where you fly home (Toronto → Vancouver, not the other way round) on its Planner card, the email’s card and the home-screen widget.
- FixedEvery copy of a paid bill says so — when two emails about the same bill share one Planner card, both now show Paid (or Done) in your inbox instead of “overdue”.
- NewYour paid bills, right in the Planner — a row under today’s counts shows what you’ve paid this month and the total. Tap it to see every bill you’ve marked paid, month by month.
- BetterA new look for Zen AI cards — on the email screen and in the Planner. The date sits in a calendar tile (red when it’s overdue), the details are laid out as tiles, and a bill’s amount has a tile of its own. A paid bill’s tile shows the day you paid it.
- BetterPaid bills stay paid — deleting or moving a paid bill’s email, or a Done item’s, no longer takes it out of the Planner’s history.
- FixedAmounts in the right currency — a bill that only shows “$” is no longer labelled with a currency it never mentions. When the app can’t tell which dollar it is, Edit amount lets you choose, and bills from that sender follow your choice.
- BetterA new look for the small Today widget — a calendar tile with today’s count, then one line for each kind of thing due (bills, appointments, events and more) with its amount or time. No more squeezed or cut-off names. Tap a line with one item to open its email.
- BetterA new app icon — a white envelope whose flap is one soft coral curve, on a navy tile. On your home screen, in notifications, on the widgets and here on the website.
- BetterThe inbox is right from the first moment — with two or more mailboxes the title says Unified Inbox straight away, and the account labels come with your emails instead of pushing them down a moment later (mostly seen just after an update).
- NewChoose how your mail list looks — Settings → Appearance → Mail list look lets you try seven looks on your own inbox and keep the one you like, with or without Premium. It needs two or more connected mailboxes.
- BetterA steadier inbox when the app opens — it now waits a moment so Pinned and Marked appear together with your emails, instead of pushing the list down just after it shows.
- FixedEdge tab fits each email — a short email under a long account name no longer gets a tall card with an empty gap; the name down the edge is shortened instead.
- FixedWhat you archive, move, junk or delete stays put — a check of your mailbox that landed just as the move went out could put the email back where it was (on Outlook as a second copy) for a while. Now the app keeps it where you put it.
- FixedA Gmail label shows every email that carries it — open a label from Jump to and it now lists the emails still in your Inbox (or anywhere else) that carry it too, as Gmail does. Before, it left out the ones also in your Inbox, Sent or Drafts. Trash and Spam stay out, as in Gmail.
- FixedPinned in Jump to lists your pinned emails — in a Gmail mailbox it used to miss the ones in your Inbox. Now they show, one email per row.
- BetterMove to from a label takes just that label off — the email’s other labels stay, and Undo puts it back as it was.
- BetterA tidier Jump to, as on the PC — your own labels and folders sit under a heading, and Gmail’s own labels (like YELLOW_STAR) and Outlook’s housekeeping folders (Sync Issues, Conflicts, Outbox and the like) are tucked under “more”. Move to no longer offers them, or the Pinned label.
- FixedAn open conversation goes as a whole too — Archive, Move to, Junk and Delete in an email you opened from a conversation in the list now take every email of it in that folder, as the list does, so it no longer comes back. Your own replies stay in Sent.
- BetterDelete in the conversation view doesn't ask first — the bar at the bottom offers Undo instead, as everywhere else. Deleting for good from Deleted Items or Junk still asks.
- BetterA conversation stays unread until all of it is read — in the list it stays bold, offers Read and counts in a group’s “new” while another email of it is still unread (drafts and anything in Junk or Deleted Items aside).
- FixedOpened from search, the Planner or a notification — Archive, Move to, Junk and Delete take the email you opened. In the conversation view they used to take its newest email, or for Delete the whole conversation.
- NewArchive and Move to — in an email's long-press menu, in an open email and in a conversation. Move to lists the mailbox's own folders.
- NewUndo for delete, archive, move and junk — for a few seconds afterwards, the bar at the bottom offers Undo. So deleting from the list or an open email no longer asks first; deleting for good still does.
- NewUndo after Send — for a few seconds after you tap Send, the bar says “Sending to …” with Undo, which brings the email back into the composer just as you left it.
- NewDrafts save as you write — on your phone as soon as you pause, then in your mailbox's Drafts shortly after. Closing the composer keeps the draft without asking, and Discard takes it out of Drafts too.
- NewSelect several emails at once — long-press an email and tap Select, or pick Select emails from the filter menu. Then mark them read or unread, archive, delete, move, pin, star or flag them, or report them as junk, all together.
- NewMark all as read — in the filter menu, for every unread email in the place you're looking at (up to 5,000 at a time). It asks first when there are more than 20.
- NewFavourites in Jump to — long-press any place in Jump to and add it to your favourites. Up to three sit at the top, kept on this phone.
- BetterWorks when you're offline — read marks, stars and flags, deletes, archives, moves and junk show at once and reach your mailbox when you're back online. An email you send while offline waits and goes then too.
- BetterGroup headers count what's new — where the list groups emails by mailbox, each header now says how many are new, like “5 · 2 new”.
- FixedA conversation goes as a whole — Delete, Archive, Move to and Report junk on a conversation in the list now take every email of it in that folder, not just the newest, so it no longer comes back showing an older one. Mark as read also marks its other unread emails (except any in Junk or Deleted Items).
- FixedGmail: your name goes out with your email — people you write to now see your name, not just your address.
- FixedFlags and read marks stay put — an Outlook flag you change no longer flips back a moment later, and when you're online and your mailbox turns down a read or unread mark on an email in the list, the email goes back and the app says so, instead of flipping back without a word.
- FixedNo skipped emails — scrolling down to older emails no longer skips some after others were deleted or moved.
- FixedBars that stayed up now close by themselves — “Images shown for this email”, “File Downloaded” after saving an attachment, and the unsubscribe bar with Done.
- FixedSync tries again by itself — when refreshing a mailbox's sign-in hits a passing problem, instead of pausing that mailbox until you come back to the app or pull to refresh.
- FixedPlanner: bill amounts show their currency — “$69.77” as the email writes it, not a bare “69.77”, and a statement's minimum payment is no longer listed twice.
- FixedPlanner: dates around a clock change — cards, widgets and reminders count calendar days, so they no longer get a day wrong when daylight saving time starts or ends.
- BetterA new app icon — a white envelope with a coral bookmark ribbon, on a navy tile. On your home screen, in notifications, on the widgets and here on the website.
- BetterA new app icon — a navy “zi” on a white tile, with a small envelope dotting the i. On your home screen, in notifications, on the widgets and here on the website.
- BetterThe app icon is back to the one you know — the navy envelope with the red ribbon, exactly as before version 91.
- BetterThe navy envelope icon is back, bigger and sharper — the envelope fills more of the icon, with the red ribbon just peeking out below. On your home screen, in notifications and on the widgets.
- NewA new app icon — your Planner cards filed behind an envelope, with the AI sparkle that marks what Zen AI has read for you. It's the same on your home screen, in notifications and on the widgets.
- BetterNotices have a new look — a colourful card at the top of your inbox, just above Due Today, instead of a strip over the top of the screen.
- NewNotices from us at the top of your inbox — for things like planned maintenance or a new version. Tap one to read more, or close it.
- NewWhat's new in Settings — Settings → Help & Support → What's new opens this page.
- BetterFaster help when you report a problem — the support ID in your report now lets us find your account straight away.
- FixedReporting a Planner card with the original email attached now reaches us instead of bouncing back.
- NewLong-press an email for quick actions — Reply, Read or Unread, and Delete up front, with Reply all, Forward, Star and Pin underneath.
- BetterMore choice of AI for Planner summaries, including Augure, a Canadian provider. When a card was written by Augure, its More menu says so.
- BetterClearer about AI — the app now says plainly what Zen AI sends and where, asks before the Planner starts, and links to the privacy policy and account deletion.
- BetterSettings follows your subscription — when premium ends, the Planner and its reminders, widgets and backups switch off together. A cancelled subscription now says when it ends instead of “renews”.
- FixedNewsletters no longer get a Summarize button just because their footer asks you to review a privacy policy.
- FixedSending from Outlook to a contact picked from suggestions works again.
