New Timely iOS app making its way to you
You might be aware that we’ve been working hard on a native Timely app for iOS devices. We're trying to play it cool, but we're pretty dang excited about it.
And now, after months of work and a few white hairs for our developers, Version 1 of the new Timely iOS app is available! We’ve been beta testing with some of our customers (<3 u testers) and have gotten some great feedback.
This version includes a completely redesigned calendar, a customer section, and a messages section.

Building an app like this one is a huge process. We redesigned the iOS app from the ground up to make it fully native. This means that there are going to be future versions, introducing new features as time goes on. Exciting eh!?
If you’re wondering why we had to completely rebuild the app to make it native, you’re definitely not alone. Here’s a little primer on why having a native app makes things easier for you.
You’ll be able to upgrade the current Timely app on your iOS device by clicking the upgrade banner when it appears in your app. We’re rolling this out slowly (baby steps!) so if you don’t see it right away, not to worry. It will arrive!
As is common with building new things, timelines can change based on a number of factors, so we’ve got a page on our website with the expected timelines for future versions. You can check this out at any time to see where we’re at.
We hope you’re as excited as we are! Let us know what you think :-)
Will there be a native app for Android?
Love that you are improving your native iOS app. We'd really benefit from having a invoicing section in the app so we can working completely from a tablet (or phablet) and preview the invoice with guests without printing. Yay, save a tree!
Why on God's green earth you would DO AWAY with the "month" view is beyond frustrating! It's a calendar!!! We book appointments weeks out and to have to toggle from week to week is an absolute annoyance! A monthly view is a must. Will start looking for other calendar alternatives, sorry to say. Have loved Timely up until now.
Hi Catherine,
I'm so sorry to hear that this is causing you frustration. We're adding new features to this new, native version of the iOS app every day, and unfortunately we haven't got to the month view yet. But we will! In the meantime, you can swap back to the original version of the app which does have a month view. All you need to do it go to Settings and click "Switch to the old version". I hope this helps!
Best,
Grace
