Here’s what’s new in the mobile app:
🖨️ Print Directly from Your Mobile Device
You no longer need a desktop or the Print Client to handle your labels. Printing now happens directly from your device:
- iOS:Use AirPrint to send labels straight to your printer. You can save your preferred printer in the app settings for faster printing.
- Android:Print labels seamlessly using the built-in print dialog, similar to printing from a browser.
📋 Other Improvements
We’ve also made a few updates to improve order processing in the app:
- Filters that stick:Order filters now persist across sessions, even if you close the app or switch orders.
- Continuous scrolling:Infinite scrolling is here, so you can view all your orders without limits. Easily refresh by pulling up on the list.
- Invalid address labels:Quickly identify orders with invalid addresses before picking. Note: resolving these still requires the desktop app for now.
