Live organizer dashboard
The circle home screen now updates in real time. The organizer sees who’s in by name — not just a seat count — a Recent Activity feed, and host and set tags, all without refreshing.
Version 1.1 — now available
What’s new in Kongvene
The old app made you refresh and guess. The new one shows you, live, and taps you on the shoulder.
“Need a Fourth” that actually broadcasts
Short a player? Send a “Need a Fourth” and everyone in the circle gets pinged. Members tap “I’m In,” the sender watches responses roll in live, and marks the seat covered when it’s filled.
A quick intro for new members
First launch now walks you through Circles, play days, dues, and how to invite players — share your circle’s invite code from the Members screen — then asks whether you’re organizing or just playing so it can point you to the right first step.
Push notifications
Organizers get a phone notification the moment a member signs up, drops out, is assigned to host, or answers a “Need a Fourth.” Opt-in, toggled in Settings. Delivered via Apple Push Notification service. No tracking.
Who’s bringing the set
Each play day now tracks who’s bringing the mahjong set, shown right next to who’s hosting. Anyone can claim it; the organizer can assign or clear it.
Host is set per game night
When you schedule a play day you pick the host for that night, and your rotation order pre-fills the suggestion. The rotation self-heals as people join or leave the circle, so nobody gets skipped.
Smoother everywhere
- Stay signed in — no more logging in every launch.
- Cleaner welcome screen: Apple and Google sign-in up front, email behind a toggle.
- Dues live in one place — one screen to see who owes what and hand off to Venmo.
- Play-day list is sorted, next game first, with past games collapsed.
- Fewer interruptive pop-ups.
