Release Notes -- Provauto

Version 1.5.0 3 November 2026

A free reminder, a sample build to explore, and a build you can show off

Opens reliably on iPhone Fixed a problem that could close Provauto right after launch on iPhone. If 1.4.0 would not open for you, this update fixes it, and everything you logged is still there.
One maintenance reminder, free Free now includes one active reminder, with the same notifications Premium gets. Premium and Pro still set as many as you like.
Explore a sample build New to Provauto? Open a fully logged sample Jeep build, with mods, services, costs and its report, before you enter anything yourself. It never counts toward your vehicle limit and removes with one tap.
Share your build Turn any vehicle into a picture card with its cover photo, top mods, entry count and total spent, ready to send to a friend or post to your club. Hide the total if you prefer.
Lighter, faster reports PDF reports now size each photo for print, so big reports use a fraction of the memory, generate faster and make much smaller files. iPhone photos that sometimes went missing from reports now appear.
Redeem a code, tell a friend, rate the app Settings has new one-tap rows to redeem a gift or promo code, share Provauto with a friend, and leave a review.
Text that looks right, even offline Provauto's typeface now ships inside the app instead of downloading on first launch, so headings and buttons look right from the first second, with or without a signal.
What's new is actually new This screen now shows every release, including 1.3.1 and 1.4.0, which were missing before. It comes from the same source as provauto.app, so the app and the site always tell the same story.

Version 1.4.0 11 August 2026

Reminders that reach you, and a far shorter road from spreadsheet to phone

Reminders finally notify you (Premium and Pro) Set a service interval and Provauto tells you before it comes due, on your phone, whether or not the app is open. Anything already overdue is gathered into a single morning summary rather than a pile of alerts.
Send an import straight to your phone (Pro) Build your import on a laptop and send it to the app -- no file to email yourself, no cable, nothing to move by hand. Downloading the file still works exactly as before.
Imports keep your own categories (Pro) Your category names survive the trip instead of arriving uncategorized, and the app shows you which ones are new before anything is written.
Know when sync stops working (Premium and Pro) If changes stop reaching the cloud, Provauto says so instead of quietly falling behind. Being offline is no longer mistaken for a problem, and nothing you have recorded is discarded while you wait to reconnect.
A tidier Settings screen Grouped into a handful of sections you can take in at a glance, with the state you care about still visible without opening anything.

Version 1.3.1 14 July 2026

Stability and diagnostics

Fewer surprises Fixed a handful of issues that could interrupt you mid-edit, and made the app much better at telling us when something goes wrong so it can be fixed faster.

Version 1.3.0 24 June 2026

Faster, simpler sign-in

Sign in with Apple and Google One tap to sign in, with no password to create or remember. Existing accounts keep working.
Under-the-hood upgrades Sync is quicker and steadier, especially on slower connections.

Version 1.2.0 12 May 2026

Portfolio analytics and a category overhaul

Portfolio dashboard (Pro) See every vehicle you own side by side -- what each has cost you and what is due next.
Purchase date Record when you bought a vehicle, so cost-per-year and ownership length are actually right.
Category overhaul Clearer service and expense categories, so entries land where you would expect to find them.
Better analytics More useful breakdowns of where the money goes.

Version 1.1.0 2 April 2026

Fuel tracking, reminders, and the Pro tier

Fuel and expense tracking Log fill-ups and running costs alongside the work you have done.
Maintenance reminders (Premium and Pro) Set a service interval by time or mileage and track what is coming due.
Custom categories (Premium and Pro) Organize entries your way instead of ours.
Data import (Pro) Bring an existing spreadsheet of history into the app instead of retyping it.
Spend analytics and advanced reports (Pro) See what a vehicle has really cost, and export a report that shows it.
