When a booking comes in, you usually know three or four things. The date, the venue, roughly what it pays. You find out the rest over the following weeks: arrival time, who to ask for on the night, how the balance is being paid. A gig diary that demands all of it up front is one you stop filling in.
What’s new
A shorter gig form. The form asks for what you know first. Everything else sits in three sections you open when you need them: Performance, Contacts and Payment & admin. A closed section shows a one-line summary of what is in it.
Home tells you when it cannot load. If your gigs cannot load, Home says so and asks you to check your connection.
Money is straight with new users. With no income logged, Money says Nothing earned yet.
Clear save errors. If a gig cannot be saved, you see a message telling you so.
Home postcode is checked. Your postcode is looked up before it is saved. A typo gets a clear message asking you to check it.
How to use it
Tap to add a gig and fill in what you have. Save it. When the venue emails over the timings a fortnight later, open the gig, edit it, and open Performance to add them. Sections that already hold details open by themselves when you edit, so you can see what is there.
To set or change your postcode, go to Settings and open Home location.
Why it matters
Your mileage is measured from your home postcode, so getting it right matters for every journey. And a screen that tells you plainly when there is nothing to show yet is easier to trust. These are small touches, but they add up to numbers you can rely on.
