New beta! 5.0.3 (447)

[Corjan Meijerink]

Hi everyone!

It is time for a lovely new beta.
Not the most exciting update for you but definitely for us

Device management

This is the core aspect of this update.
Unfortunately we are seeing a massive amount of account sharing going on.
At MyRoute-app we try our hardest every single day to be customer oriented and keeping our prices low. As of this year our base prices for subscriptions had to be increased (for the first time since 2021) and because of new contracts with our suppliers we also have to implement a device limit per subscription.

As we now pay per active phone we cannot (ignorantly) allow users to use our app on an unlimited amount of phones. As of this update we allow a maximum of 2 devices to be used at the same time. When exceeding this limit (3 devices) you will be presented a beautiful interface in which you can logoff another device. After doing so, you can use your current phone again

Some important notes:

• Excessively switching between multiple phones will lead to an automatic warning
• Attempts to use way too many devices (4) at once will lead to an automatic block

Our terms & conditions will be updated appropriately.
Simply put: times of sharing your account with big groups of friends or your club are over, sharing with your partner / personal use on a few devices is still allowed.

Note for beta testers: being a beta testers does not mean you are allowed to share your account but if for (proven) testing you wish to use more devices, simply contact our support department.

SSO fixed

Signing into the app using a SSO authentication method (such as Apple or Google) was broken. Luckily this has now been fixed!

Link and file opening

Opening links and files with the app has always been possible.
In this update the stability of these features has been improved to ensure it works as expected when the app is in any state (such as terminated / in the background / opened).

Minor fixes and stability improvements

Many small issues that are not relevant to mention here have been fixed.
Also we fixed a few errors that would result in route calculations failing.
Finally a few critical CarPlay / Android Auto errors have been solved and we added a bit more logging to investigate some persistent issues a few users have.

What's next
Slowly but surely we are transitioning to a more focused dedication on the website.
In the next update 5.1 we will:

• Aim for solving all stability issues CarPlay and Android Auto
• Add highly requested features to CarPlay and Android Auto
• Major technical internal updates

Cheers,
Corjan

Hey @Corjan-Meijerink, I understand everything about the update very well. Perhaps I could add a note about my example usage as a user:

• iPhone 16e as my main phone – for planning and everything else.
• iPad 9th Gen., for planning, etc.
• iPhone XR as my navigation phone without a SIM card, using a hotspot or Wi-Fi.

At my desk, I regularly use the web-based planning on my laptop and 24" monitor. So, I actively use three Apple devices with the app, and it would be inconvenient if I were only allowed to use two devices. (Perhaps the limit could be increased to three.)

It goes without saying that I am the only one using the license!

Best regards, Hubert

Hey @Corjan-Meijerink, das zum Update, das alles kann ich sehr gut verstehen, vieleicht noch einen Hinweis zu meiner Beispielhaten Nutzung als User.

• iPhnoe 16e, als Haupt Handy - Planen und alles andere.
• iPad 9. Gen. , zum Planen usw.
• iPhone Xr, Handy als Naviehandy ohne Sim, über Hoptspot oder WLan

Am Schreibtich dann natürlich regeläßig die Web Planung am Laptop und 24" Bildschirm.

Also ich nutze im aktiven Wechsel 3 Appel Geräte mit der App, es wäre unschön wenn ich nur noch zwei Geräte nutzen dürfte. (Limmit vielleicht auf 3 hoch setzen).

Es ist für mich selbstverständlich das nur ich die Lizenz benutze !!!

@Hubert-Thoring Having three devices is perfect - gives you the opportunity to test this feature

At release we can ensure you are upgraded to three (as active beta tester) to ensure you won't receive the warnings.

Great, and thank you so much!

Okay, I'll test it this evening between the three devices with the new version, as soon as it's available for iOS.

Super und ein großes Dankeschön

Okay, ich werde es am Abend dann zwischen den drei Geräten mit der neuen Version testen, sobald diese für iOS Verfügbar ist.

Quick question. How is it possible to get blocked when you can have a maximum of two devices active at the same time? Is the automatic blocking intended as a kind of backup system in case someone tries to bypass this limitation? That means I can’t easily test this myself, right?

Vraagje. Hoe kan het dat je geblokkeerd wordt terwijl je maximaal twee apparaten tegelijk actief kunt hebben? Is het automatisch blokkeren bedoeld als een soort back upsysteem voor het geval iemand probeert die beperking te omzeilen? Dat betekent dus dat ik dit niet eenvoudig zelf kan testen, klopt dat?
