Overview
Here's a quick video to give an overview:
Branding
We've added a new section in Manager > Settings > App
This allows you to change your brand colour and home screen image direct from the backend GUI, without having to resubmit to Apple/Google Play. Please note, the refresh on your clients phones happens after closing and re-opening the app.
The dimensions for your home screen image is 1024x1024 pixels.
Marketing Your App
Please feel free to use any of the below images to market your app.
We would also recommend sending an Email or SMS to your clients to let them know about your app and links to download it for both Android & iOS.
Opening Hours
You can change and update your opening hours for the app from the Phorest GUI.
Go to Manager > Settings > General and click on Opening Hours on the left side menu.
Simple edit the opening hours and they will update in the app.
Treatcard
Your clients can now view their TreatCard points on the Salon App.

Photo Gallery
The old apps used a Facebook Gallery to show images in the apps, however Facebook changed it's Terms & Conditions recently so we now have the ability for you to add your own photos to your app via your Phorest Settings! These are applied per location.
