Hi everyone 👋

First off, thank you so much for being part of our close testing group — your time and input truly mean the world to us as we shape Beauty Center into something great. 💛

✨ A new version is now online! Please take a moment to update the app to the latest version so you can try out the newest features and improvements.

🙌 We'd love a bit more engagement from you! If you haven't had the chance yet, we'd really appreciate it if you could help us test the following flows:

• Create a new user account (as a normal customer) — let us know how the sign-up flow feels.
• Try logging in — the test credentials are displayed directly in the app, so it's quick and easy.
• Book an appointment — go through the full booking flow and see if anything feels off or buggy.

🆕 What's new in this version:

• Updated appointment status handling
• Notifications are now sent to customers prompting them to leave feedback

Please poke around, try to break things, and tell us everything — the good, the bad, and the "hmm, that's weird." Screenshots, short videos, or even a quick note about what you experienced would be incredibly helpful.

Every piece of feedback helps us make the app better for everyone. 🌟

Thanks again for your support and patience — we couldn't do this without you! 💖

Warm regards, The Beauty Center Team

Hi everyone,

A new version of BeautiGO (1.3.0) has just been pushed to the Google Play closed-testing track. It should be available in your Play Store within an hour or so — if your app shows an "Update" button, that's it.

What's new

• Edit appointments — customers can now reschedule an upcoming booking (change date, time, or service) directly from the Upcoming tab. Up to 3 changes per appointment. Editing a confirmed appointment sends it back to "pending" so the salon re-confirms.
• 24-hour cancel & edit window — both actions are now available until 24 hours before the appointment (was 1 hour for cancel before).
• Tappable phone number on the appointment card — replaces the old "Call Salon" button to keep the layout clean.
• Various tablet improvements (booking modal, home split-view).

Please test

1. Open an upcoming appointment and tap Edit → try changing date / time / service. Make sure the salon side gets the notification and the appointment status flips to pending if it was confirmed.
2. Reach the 3-change limit — confirm the Edit button disappears.
3. Try editing or cancelling an appointment that's less than 24h away — both should be hidden with an explanatory message.
4. From the appointment card, tap the salon's phone number → it should open your dialer.
5. If you have an iPad / Android tablet, try booking a new appointment and check the layout.

Reporting issues

Reply to this thread or send a screenshot + a quick description of what you did. Even small things ("text was cut off in German") are helpful.

Thanks a lot for testing 🙏 your feedback is what makes the next release better.
