One last release of Basecamp for 2017 is here. Get it for iPhone and iPad in the App Store today. Here’s a look at some of the most recent improvements.
Brand new design for Activity
Feeds are everywhere on mobile, so we took the best modern design patterns and applied them to Basecamp’s own feed. This is the first step in a string of improvements we’ve got planned for this screen—especially algorithmic feed ordering based on your Applause (We kid, we kid!). Here’s how it looks:
All-new Find tab
Search got a lot better in Basecamp for web this fall, so we’re excited to bring those improvements to the app—with an iOS flavor. Searches are now live as-you-type and can be quickly filtered to narrow down to exactly what you’re looking for. One of my favorites is to exclude Campfire chats from search results—it can be a life saver with some keywords.
Add multiple files to Basecamp at once
This has been a popular request from customers and it was trickier to build than you might think, so we’re excited to finally deliver. We’ve designed a brand new screen for choosing photos and videos from your device that allows for multiple attachments all at once. It works with Basecamp’s Share extension when saving files from other apps, too!
New Calendar picker for choosing due dates
Previously Basecamp used iOS’s native “spinners” for choosing due dates, but we heard from many customers this just wasn’t good enough. In particular, the spinners didn’t display the day of the week, which could make planning harder than it needed to be. We’re happy to offer a new calendar picker that shows the whole month at-a-glance including weekends!
It’s been a great year—see you in 2018!
We’re especially grateful to all the wonderful customers who’ve taken the time to leave reviews for Basecamp in the App Store. Here are just some of our favorites:
Of course, we couldn’t make everyone happy…
As always, please keep suggestions, feedback, and bug reports coming our way. 2018 will be here before you know it and we’ve got some great stuff in the works. If you’re interesting in seeing it before everyone else, we have a few openings left in our private beta. Send us an email and we’ll get you invited.
❤️ The iOS Team at Basecamp,
Tara Mann, Dylan Ginsburg, Zach Waugh, and me.
