The release log
August 2026
The date strip on your booking page and on the reschedule page now has arrow buttons and shows the month you are looking at, so a client can move past this week without having to guess that the row scrolls. The month updates as they scroll, so it is clear when they cross into the next one. Arrows, day-part pills and time slots are all bigger targets now, which matters most on a phone.
When a client cancels, they now pick a reason — schedule conflict, found another provider, changed their mind — before confirming, and it shows on the appointment in your dashboard. Cancellations from your side ask the same, so your history finally tells you the why, not just the what.
Every Monday morning, businesses that had a quiet week get a short email: how many times your booking page was viewed, how many bookings came in, and one practical next step — like sharing your link or adding a second service. No noise if you already hear from us daily, and you can switch it off in Settings any time.
A day after each visit ends, the appointment is marked completed for you and your client automatically receives a thank-you email with a review link — no more bookings sitting "confirmed" forever. You keep a full week to flag a no-show from the appointment view or the bookings list, and your morning digest tells you how many visits closed out the day before.
LovingBooking now checks every day whether customers can actually find an open time on your page over the next 30 days. If your last open date has passed, your schedule is fully taken, or setup was never finished, you get an email and a dashboard alert pointing at exactly what to open — before customers start bouncing.
When your page has no open times, visitors no longer hit a dead end. They can leave their name, contact details, and when they would like to come in — the request lands in your inbox and a new Booking requests section on your dashboard, so you can open a slot and reply directly.
July 2026
Sorting or filtering your client list now works across every client you have, not just the page on screen, and the appointments list can search and page through your whole history. Finding a booking from months ago is one search away.
A deep review across the product tightened availability and time handling — including around daylight-saving changes — made reminder and confirmation emails more dependable when things get busy, and lightened several screens so the pages you use most stay quick as you grow.
Sign-in links and saved sessions are now kept only as one-way hashes, sign-in requests no longer reveal whether an email is registered, and several request checks were hardened — quiet groundwork that keeps your business and client data safe.
A new Appearance section in settings lets you choose how your booking page header looks — full cover, slim ribbon, or compact — with a live phone preview as you edit. Your business name now shows on every step, and time slots became a tappable grid with morning, afternoon, and evening shortcuts.
See what is planned, in progress, shipped, and deliberately not on the list — then upvote what matters to you or suggest something new. It sits right next to this page as the other half of the story.
The industry pages were rebuilt to talk the way owners actually work, and this page — the one you are reading — now keeps a running record of what ships each month.
The time picker and the final availability check now share the same rules, so customers see a more dependable set of times from selection through confirmation.
Step counts now reflect the steps a customer will actually take, solo businesses get a one-tap path past choices they do not have, and the confirm page spells out how payment works at the venue.
A performance pass trimmed image weight and tightened several loading paths, making the product feel faster on the phones and laptops small businesses use every day.
Instalment reminders help owners follow up at the right time, while each business can send customer emails from an address that matches its booking page.
Customers get clearer updates when an appointment changes, and they can adjust a booking whenever they need to. Owners stay informed without having to chase the details.
Lovie answers setup questions, checks booking-page health, guides owners to the right screen, and answers product questions on the public site. It is read-only by design.
Drag an appointment to a new time and see staff columns side by side, giving owners a quicker view of what is happening across the day.
Owners can record a walk-in from the dashboard, and the refreshed nine-step onboarding path explains what to do next without hiding the work behind a maze of screens.
The daily digest puts the day’s appointments in one place, while CSV import gives owners a practical way to bring an existing client list into LovingBooking.
Businesses can share a booking QR code in the places customers already look, and owners can trace important changes through the new audit timeline.
Sortable tables, client segments, profile views, and the updated two-tier navigation make recurring admin tasks easier to find and finish.
The free plan is easier to understand, paid pricing is clearer, and each business can choose the customer-facing word for an appointment on its booking page.
June 2026
The analytics proxy keeps product measurement on a first-party route, improving reliability without adding another setup task for owners.
The security sweep tightened database access rules and tenant boundaries so one business cannot see another business’s records.
Owners can leave feedback in the product, and the team can triage it in one place instead of losing useful notes in a private inbox.
The booking flow explains the professional step more plainly, while the verify-email page gives new owners a direct way forward when setup pauses there.
Client search now runs on the server with pagination, keeping the list useful even as a business builds a larger customer book.
May 2026
The new industry pages explain how LovingBooking fits barbers, salons, studios, clinics, and other appointment-based businesses in practical terms.
Error monitoring now watches the product around the clock, so the team can catch and fix issues without waiting for an owner to run into them first.
Phone calls, messages from regulars, and last-minute requests can now become appointments without asking the customer to use the public page.
A returning customer can move from the customer area into a new booking with useful details already in place, without repeating every step.
Businesses can offer a monthly package option while keeping session counts and the customer’s remaining visits clear.
April 2026
The booking flow keeps the selected service, next available time, and search controls close at hand, so customers can make a decision without losing their place.
Customers can export a confirmed appointment to their own calendar, making the visit easier to remember after they leave the booking page.
The blog launched with fourteen long-form guides for owners who want practical help with bookings, clients, and running a service business.
Customers can view their appointments, keep their details in one place, and return to a business without relying on a long email thread.
International phone and country inputs make it easier for businesses serving customers beyond Singapore to collect contact details accurately.
Package sessions, customer access, and confirmation status now follow the same lifecycle, reducing confusing gaps between a purchase and its usable sessions.
Customers can leave a review after an appointment, giving owners a simple way to hear what went well and what needs attention.
Owners can set up in-app notifications and configurable email reminders so important customer follow-ups do not depend on memory.
March 2026
Owners can set booking policies and email reminders while they configure the business, instead of discovering those decisions later.
Currency detection now starts with Singapore as the sensible default and adapts the booking experience for businesses serving customers elsewhere.
Businesses that are not ready to take bookings get a clearer explanation of what is missing, so a shared link never leaves a customer guessing.
February 2026
Customers can upload proof after paying a business directly, and the owner can review it before manually confirming the package or booking.
The embeddable widget gives businesses another way to put their booking page on a website they already own.
Owners can set up a repeating appointment pattern for customers who come back on a familiar schedule.
Businesses can offer packages with a clear session balance; a package becomes available after the owner confirms the customer’s payment.
Paid plans can display a business’s PayNow or QR image so customers know how to pay the business directly, with confirmation staying in the owner’s hands.
Businesses using Outlook can bring calendar availability into planning, and online appointments can carry a Zoom link when a remote visit needs one.
Google Calendar sync and free/busy checks help protect the times an owner has already set aside before a customer chooses a slot.
Businesses that work past midnight can set cross-midnight hours without making the next day’s availability look unexpectedly closed.
Businesses can create discount codes with the rules they need, while the booking flow shows the adjusted total before confirmation.
Capacity settings keep a group class or session open until the available spaces are actually used.
LovingBooking launched with a public booking page for customers and a practical dashboard for the owner behind it.
