EmilyTapestrySupport Posted April 3, 2020 Posted April 3, 2020 Hi all, We've written this post to let you know about an update to the iOS we've just released. If you are using the Android version of the app, please see this post for information about an update to the beta version of the Android app. As well as some background changes, there are several new additions to the app. These are: Clickable links We've already added this to the browser version of Tapestry but we know a lot of you also wanted to be able to do this on the app. This will allow you to copy the URL of a website and paste it into the notes section of an observation. When saved, that link will then become clickable, meaning you can select it and it will take you directly to that website. This is currently only available for the notes section of an observation and not the comments but this is something we are working on. View attached files Recently we added the ability to attach different file types, such as Word, PowerPoint etc., to observations, memos and reflections. Upon the release of this, when viewing observations with files attached on the app, you would only see a notice directing you to the browser version of Tapestry to see the files. With this update, you will now be able to open and view attached files within observations through the iOS app. The only exceptions to this are odt and ods file types which at the time of writing cannot be opened on iOS devices. If one of these file types is attached, you will see a message underneath informing you that it can't be opened on a iOs device. Extended video limits To help you with your home learning during the current setting closures, we have temporarily increased the limits on videos to 10 minutes or 5GB. This was first available on the browser version of Tapestry and it is now available on the iOS app as well. Please note that larger videos will take longer to upload and the time it takes will also depend on your internet speed. If you have any difficulties uploading longer videos, we recommend you also try uploading them through a browser. We know a lot of you have also asked to view memos on the app as well and this is also something we are also working on adding. If your app isn't set to automatically update, to do this you just need to go to the App store, find the Tapestry app and tap to update. To see a full iOS app walk-through, check our tutorial here.
