Accurate guest counts on meal detail
Request detail now merges app joins and web RSVPs in one place, with seat math that stays in sync when hosts approve guests from the website.
Display photos when hosting
Add and reorder photos while creating or editing a meal — even before you lock in a restaurant — so Discover cards look great from day one.
Onboarding & profile completion
A dedicated permissions step, lighter welcome flow, and in-app banners nudge you to finish name, gender, and birthday before hosting or joining.
Messages inbox refresh
See last-message previews and unread styling in your inbox, and hide threads locally without removing them for everyone else in the chat.
Snappier navigation
Discover, My Meals, messages, and groups paint from cache instantly while fresh data loads — less waiting when you switch tabs.
Meal invite responses
Accept or decline meal invites with an optional note, share invite links that open the right meal, and stale invites expire after the dining time passes.
Group meal chats
Chat access for group-tagged meals lines up with membership and organizer roles so the right people can coordinate in-thread.
Discover location stays current
Discover, Map, and restaurant search refresh your GPS when you open the tab, return to the app, or pull to refresh — better nearby sorting after you travel.
Bill split & ticket polish
Cash App $cashtag per meal, custom payment instructions for Other apps, ticket price editable on edit, and a lower $0.75 per-ticket service fee with a clearer fee preview at checkout.
Changelog
App Updates
New features and fixes land in the iOS and Android app all the time. Here is a running log by date — for the big-picture product story, see core features.
App redesign — Profile tab & Menu
New bottom navigation with a dedicated Profile tab and a Menu hub for My Meals, Groups, referrals, settings, and organizer tools — cleaner than burying everything under More.
Groups hub & community tools
Group organizers get a real hub: discussion topics, invite TableMates, share kits with join codes, meal-post policies, and pending-member approval — built for clubs like Charlotte Foodies.
Message reactions
React to messages in meal and group threads so quick coordination does not need a full reply.
Discover photos load reliably
Restaurant photos on Discover now auto-retry on cold start — no pull-to-refresh needed when Google Places is slow.
Push notifications fixed
No more duplicate alerts, and tapping a notification opens the right meal, thread, or group.
Ticket checkout polish
Ticketed events support line items, choose who pays processing fees, and promo codes for hosts running paid dinners.
Marketing attribution
Meta ad clicks and referral codes are tracked through signup so campaigns like Charlotte Foodies can measure what worked.
Ticketed events with Stripe Connect
Verified hosts can run paid dinners and events in the app: set a listing price (what you receive), guests pay listing plus fees at checkout, and payouts go to your bank through Stripe Express. Includes an Event organizer hub for verification, payout setup, and your ticketed meals.
Meal create templates
When you host a meal, pick a template up front — Open table on Discover, Invite-only with friends, Group meal, or Ticketed event — each with sensible defaults so you are not staring at a blank form.
Ticketed event details & refunds
Ticketed flows include event title and description, optional event links, a published refund policy, and host tools to approve or decline guest refund requests. Discover cards show clearer Buy ticket CTAs.
Stripe Connect & organizer polish
Smoother return from Stripe onboarding (no false setup failures), fixed ticketed-event create when opening from Event organizer, and host verification aligned with your profile verified badge.
Ad hoc group chats & voice messages
Start group chats for any meal and send voice messages in-thread — handy when you are coordinating on the go.
Event fees with Venmo
Hosts can collect event fees via Venmo with separate host confirmation, so paid experiences are clearer for everyone.
Planning wizard restored
Brought back the meal planning wizard with host approval, social profiles, and group join-code UI after a recovery merge.
Web guest RSVP security
Database migrations and RLS policies tightened for guest RSVPs coming from the web.
iOS performance parity
Restored production-level iOS performance and cleaned up the My Meals action layout.
TableMates & My Meals overhaul
Major navigation and caching improvements, a refreshed TableMates experience, and a fix for web RSVPs syncing into the app.
Dining invites fixed end-to-end
Invites now send reliably, and My Meals has a dedicated Invites tab so nothing gets lost in chat.
Referral flow complete
Referral codes copy to clipboard on share, capture on first launch, prompt during onboarding, and offer a 7-day settings fallback.
Web guest RSVPs in the host app
Hosts see web guest RSVPs in-app and can approve or decline them without leaving TableMesh.
Notification badge fixes
Bell and iOS home-screen badges clear immediately after you read notifications.
Places photo enrichment
A new edge function enriches restaurant photos from Google Places so meal cards and detail screens look better.
TableMates photo carousel
Swipe through multiple photos on TableMates cards, with a prompt to add more profile photos.
Faster image loading
Fixed stale closures, added prefetch and CachedImage, and improved retry logic for dining request photos.
My Meals refresh & Android fixes
My Meals now refreshes reliably; fixed five Android bugs including disappearing messages and map filter issues.
Groups member counts fixed
Group member counts now pull live data from group_members, and groups load consistently again.
Account deletion reliability
Fixed account deletion failing after a Supabase schema update.
Calendar view in My Meals
Browse upcoming and past meals in a calendar layout alongside the list view.
Optional meal titles
Give your dining requests a custom title — great for “Team lunch” or “KBBQ night”.
Notification audit fixes
Closed gaps found in a notification-system audit so fewer alerts slip through the cracks.
Profile & onboarding scroll fixes
Fixed scroll blocking on Profile and Onboarding screens on smaller devices.
Promo code redemption
Redeem promo codes directly from the paywall.
Weekly profile view limits
Replaced the daily wave counter with weekly profile view limits for a fairer TableMates experience.
Smarter Discover feed
Restaurant requests interleave more intelligently, with scrollable discount filter chips on the dashboard.
Auto-detect cuisine & price
When you pick a restaurant, cuisine type and price range are inferred from Google Places.
TableMates filter in top bar
Filters and wave counter moved into the top bar for quicker browsing on Discover.
Check-in redesign
New arrival status buttons, auto-complete for finished meals, and host no-show tagging.
Atomic moderation actions
Block, report, and flag actions now use atomic Supabase RPCs for safer moderation.
App Store review compliance
Crash-proof RevenueCat integration, clearer IAP visibility, and demo-data handling for review.
