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!
@GlenM Guess it's not downloadabe to Windows computers?
@GlenM
From what I have see so far it's really amazing, I like that so much information is "pops ups" in the chats!
How do we find out whether a member I am listening to is online or not ? The indicator "green/yellow/red" light is not available anymore ! Please fix this.
Working on it!
I loved the app. But i am facing following challenges 1. Removed older chats been displayed in app, same is hidden in browser. 2. Limitation of 10 hearts per user 3. Notifications is not working again 4. Cant identify if the incoming chat is a listener or member, earlier it was displayed along name. Now i need to check each profile 5. Earlier i could see reviews in app, now i cant. 6. I cant click my name from messages i send 7. I can't see who all enters chat room 8. Can't end chat
@GlenM

I just updated it, and upon opening the app again, I am welcomed with such an aesthetically pleasing interface! Thank you all for your continued efforts in improving and maintaining this special platform.
