Our New App is Here!
Hey, everyone! Happy 2021! We’re kicking it off with exciting news! We now have an awesome NEW, REVAMPED app!
We have been working on this app since November 11, 2018. It is our single biggest release that we have ever made as an organization. 7 Cups is a big site, but most of the changes have been incremental. This new app is an entirely new rewrite/re-build of our entire site. It isn’t like renovating a staircase or putting in a new kitchen, it is instead like building an entirely new house from the ground up!
Most companies focus on the product first. They often have very clean and beautiful apps and little in the way of community. For us, we’ve always prioritized community over product. We care first and foremost about the people we serve. The product (the app and the site) is the medium through which we help people. In that way, you can think of 7 Cups like a building. People give and receive support in our building, and this building is our website and app.
There were many challenges with our old building (app) that made the process of giving and receiving support much more difficult. Those challenges have now been addressed and we’re ready to see what you think!
I’d like to give a very big thank you to all the people that worked on this app. They’ve made a beautiful building for us that anyone can now enter from anywhere in the world (i.e., it should now work on most phones). The developers, designers, and managers include:
Adam
Adrian
Austin
Colin
Cris
Ece
Erik
Ezra
Jakub
Lance
Lu
Maciej
Mathew
Monika
Ryan
Vera
Weronika
Xian
These folks, collectively, have written 35,000k lines of code, made over 800 code commits (think of a code commit as submitting a big amount of work), and have spent thousands of hours building the app. Please join me in thanking all of these developers, designers, and managers for our new app!
You can find it here on Google Play Store and here on the Apple Store.
We’re excited to hear what you like about the app, so please check it out and share your thoughts below in the replies!
We sincerely hope you enjoy it! Thanks for all of your patience and support over the years!
Used to love 7cups but am so disappointed with the new app. If I message it doesn’t appear in the chat and I get notifications to say my listener has messaged and there’s nothing there. It’s like I’ve lost a friend and my support
I just updated this app and it looks so good! I love it already
@GlenM To say this is a HUGE improvement is an understatement. Very pleased with the update. Now, will you also be updating the website to match?
Wow, loving this! Thank you all!
@GlenM
This is brilliant!!! Very well done.
Loads of love and best wishes for its success! ❤
The app is impressive. Less complicated, fast, functioning well. Good job!
@GlenM Thank you! Thank all of you!
Just updated my app! And it's amazing!!! Loved the new look! Thank you Glen! And all the developers!
As a Listener, I must say I'm very happy with the new update. It's become more helpful and easier to navigate around and, therefore, will benefit my role on here to help out members/guests on the go! Cannot wait to see what else the future has in store for 7 Cups Great work to everyone involved, well done!👏🏽💙
I have tried to update it at least 5 times in the past 20 min, it will not let me update it. I cleared cache and storage, deleted extraneous files, it will not let me update the app.
