We have updated the style of our map so chargepoints are easier to see. We have also fixed some crashes and bugs.
A wide variety of minor improvements to the user interface as well as a number of bug fixes in this version.
This version of Zapmap now uses our new locations engine providing faster loading of locations and more regular updates to marker statuses. We’ve also included an update to our in-app adverts, some UI improvements and a number of bug fixes.
We’ve fixed an issue which was preventing users from using their 3rd party log-ins (Apple/Google/Facebook) to access external services from the in-app view. We’ve also ensured that the filter settings for Allstar users are correct when logging in and fixed a number of minor UI issues across the app.
This release contains a number of UI improvements to the upgrade and registration flows, the route planner now saves Network filters correctly, we have fixed an intermittent crash in Android Auto and a number of minor Zap-Pay related bugs.
We’ve added a confirmation page to our registration journey to help new users. We’ve made a number of improvements to how we guide users to our subscriptions within the filters, route planner and the subscriptions page itself. There are also a number of bug and crash fixes as well.
The navigation button for each location now offers a list of compatible apps to choose from, not just Google Maps. This version also introduces the JustCharge service (from JustPark) which enables our users to search and reserve JustCharge locations. We’ve improved the registration and subscription flows making them easier to use and added a button that enables you to request the deletion of your account. In addition, we've included a variety of minor user interface fixes.
We’ve removed the need for a CVV/CVC code when using Zap-Pay, made the subscriptions related filters available in Android Auto and stopped the app logging you out when you go offline (and fixed some issues related to this within Android Auto). The registration process is now simpler and we’ve brought back the ‘display name’ on your profile. Form fields now support auto population from your keyboard, making form filling easier.
We’ve also fixed a number of rare crashes.
A number of updates including:
• Improvements to simplify the registration journey
• Fixing a bug with a message shown when no charge points are shown on the map
• Fixing two further bugs that resulted in the app crashing for some users
Fixes for Android Auto including:
• Preventing the subscription message appearing when losing connectivity
• Ensuring that the app has an accurate location before loading the map
These changes should make Android Auto more reliable and easier to use.
There’s now a way to restore an existing subscription accessed via the ‘Restore subscription’ button on the Subscriptions page.
We’ve also addressed various minor bugs and crash fixes.
Allstar card holders now have the ability to add their Allstar Electric card in the app to search, plan and pay for their electric charging across the growing Allstar Electric network.
We have also added several existing filters to the Route Planner, the 'Payment' filter for standard users and in addition to this, the 'User rating' and 'Multiple devices' filters for subscribers.

In addition we have fixed a number of user interface bugs which occur when the app was re-opened after being put into the background. We've also fixed an issue related to the integration with 3rd party navigation apps. A number of internal libraries have been upgraded and we've improved the app monitoring.
For this release we have updated how the Filters behave, making them clearer and easier to use.
