7.42
2022-04-13
Couple of new bug fixes on certain sized iPads in viewing mode and a fix where PRO users were not seeing the right folder.
Based on customer feedback and request, we made some changes in the kiosk mode settings.
1 - The timer reset for activity now starts at 30 seconds and still goes to 15 minutes.
2 - We have a new on/off switch that allows a video to finish playing before the timer fires - for example, the timer is set for 1 minute, but there is a video on a screen that is autoplay and a user visited, or is a video they launched and it is longer than 1 minute, the video will finish playing, and then the timer will fire.
3 - When the reset timer is fired, we now use a 'fade in' transition to the front page.
4 - We changed the layout on the 'Night Mode' screen - this is a cosmetic change.
From Version 7.40
NEW - Apple Watch Remote. We're calling it FlowVella Conductor.
Built on top of our recently introduced remote control features, the FlowVella Conductor Watch app allows you to remote control your flows.
This presentation remote will set the bar going forward as it goes beyond what is out there.
You can control the presentation to go forward, back, play multimedia and go back to 'home' or the first screen.
It also shows a screenshot of the page/slide/screen you are on, so you have context.
Additionally, there is a timer that you can swipe to while you're presenting to give you an idea of how much time you have spent.
Lastly, we created a 'practice' feature. This shows the screenshot of the page/slide/screen and time since start.
The idea here is when you are working on your presentation, you can practice anywhere, on a walk, in bed, at your desk.
The screenshot will trigger the content of the slide and the timer will keep you on track for when you will ultimately give that amazing presentation.
One important thing to note, this is not just a remote controller for a connected device, this is an extension of our 'Conductor' feature.
This means anyone viewing the presentation within the FlowVella iOS apps or on specific web urls, will follow whatever the Conductor is viewing.
NEW - Our FlowVella icon is updated with yellow. We stand with Ukraine
Fixes:
Bluetooth keyboards and presentation remotes like AirTurn were not working on iOS/iPadOS 15 iPhones and iPads and now are working as intended.
Within the Team Flows tab, for our PRO users, flows were not updating properly after an update was posted. This is fixed. And you can also pull to tap and pull down to check for the latest off the server.

This release is all about revisiting existing features and making them better, adding more kiosk features and bug fixes and optimization.
One of FlowVella’s greatest and differentiated features is the ability to link from one Flow to another Flow. BUT, the experience when viewing did not live up to the expectation. And now it does. We reworked how a ‘linked’ Flow opens and loads. It works really well now. And when in ‘kiosk mode’, when the inactivity reset is triggered, we properly close the linked flows, videos and PDFs.
Also, when opening a link to another flow, and if you are a PRO user, FlowVella now preloads all the content, including videos and PDFs. The whole presentation is ready to present and is 100% offline available as well.
We added more kiosk features including: Night Mode, auto relaunch into a Flow, and ability to remove controls from full screen videos. All three of these features were built by request from our users. Thank you Jessica and Kevin for making these requests.
We fixed a lot of big and little things. Our form creator now works in all iPad models and sizes. (Sorry about that).
We have a couple iOS 13 features coming soon that we think you’re going to love. We hope to have these out in the next several weeks.
Recent companies using using FlowVella and Flow Kiosk include: Monster Energy, The Gates Foundation, DJI, The Burke
Museum, WD-40, The Heinz Museum, Hesco, and many, many more.
Thank you for the continued support!
6.0 release notes were: Big update with a new object to embed, webview, 4K video, larger file upload sizes and lots of bug fixes and performance upgrades. 6.01 fixes an issue that was causing a few people some issues, so we quickly fixed it.
New object - Webview
- You can embed a webview aka web page into a slide/screen. When viewed, and online, the app will populate the web page with live content. If you tap the webview, you can then interact with it, like any other web page.
4K Video
- Our customer, Dolby, asked us if we could support higher fidelity video within FlowVella’s video player. They sent us a couple samples, we ran them through our new 4K compression and they approved it. (Requires new PROPlus plan).
1 GB uploads
- To go along with 4K video, in the last year or so we have received more requests to increase our file upload limit. It was 500mb, but now it can go up to 1GB (Requires new PROPlus plan)
iPhone X, Xs, Xs Max and Xr Optimized
- Viewing on any of the iPhone X family of phones is now as expected and optimized for the unique attributes of the iPhone X family of phones. It is so great to have your presentations on your phone, you can connect to any AppleTV or attach with a cable to any monitor.
So Many, Many Fixes
- We’re doubling down on quality and in this 6.0 version, there are a ton of fixes. Speed increases, transition animations fixed, open flow via URL fixed and so much more are fixed in the version. We are committed to quality, so please let us know if you find any bugs and we will look into and address asap.
Thanks for the continued support!

This update is all about fixing some bugs and improving existing features. Thanks to our customers who push us to make FlowVella better. Please keep on sending feedback and we will fix issues, and make improvements.
PDF handling improvements:
File name is kept from uploading via iCloud
File name is kept while using drag and drop
When sharing via ‘share sheet’, PDF retains it’s file name which is more important than you might realize.
Video:
A black flash occurred when playing autoplayed videos, it is removed - thank you T!
Kiosk Mode Settings:
The default PIN value wasn’t used and if you didn’t set, it could cause some issues.
Now the default PIN value is set, but we also push you to make the change.
Analytics:
Occasionally, an error would occur when viewing analytics through the app, not any more.
Fixed issue where analytics didn’t report views when viewing a presentation in kiosk mode that was ‘owned’ by the user.
Direct track:
Occasionally, an error would occur when viewing creating a direct track address through the app, not any more.
New in 5.56
Close button shows on 'sub flows' - easier to navigate back to parent flow.
In Kiosk Mode, on timer reset, sub flow closes as designed.
New in 5.57
While fixing the gallery for some images in 5.56, it broke it for others, this build fixes it for both :)
New in 5.58
Fixed a bug where PRO users who are in teams would see their team name disappear occasionally - so glad to have finally killed this issue.
Some users reported offline not working properly for some flows since a recent update, this update fixes that.
