Version History This release refreshes the onboarding and profile screens to match the final design, including a new change-photo sheet, waitlist screen and travel radius sheet. Subs stay signed in through network blips, and an ended session now goes to login instead of the signup form. Candidates in review get no more error messages or sign-outs, and no notification bell until they're cleared. Accepted shifts are no longer offered again. 6.2.7 Oct 2 You can now accept part of a multi-day opportunity instead of all of it, and see which days someone else already took. Shift times are picked from a list rather than typed. Notifications open the right shift, check-in status reads the same everywhere, and the app is steadier throughout. 6.2.5 Sep 21 This update fixes notifications that sometimes opened an opportunity that was no longer available, blocks accepting a shift after it has already ended, increases the max travel radius to 100 miles, cleans up the Schedule calendar view, and fixes the app name shown under your home screen icon. 6.2.2 Aug 28 Bug fixes and improvements 6.2.1 Aug 15 This update includes a new in-app tutorial video to help you get started faster, along with several improvements to notifications, messaging, and shift status accuracy. We've also fixed a handful of bugs affecting navigation and stability. Thanks for using Spindle 6.2.0 Aug 7 This update improves how shift and opportunity times are displayed, notifications, and check-in details. Shift times now always match the school's local time, so what you see is what's accurate no matter where you are. We also fixed notifications so they mark as read and take you straight to the right screen, and added covering-for details to check-in instructions so you know exactly who you're subbing for. Plus a handful of smaller bug fixes and stability improvements. 6.1.0 Jul 31 We completely rebuilt the Spindle app from the ground up to give you a faster, smoother experience. Our refined matching algorithm connects your specific profile to the classrooms that need you most, eliminating the need to dig through irrelevant postings. To help you manage your day seamlessly, active shifts now feature streamlined, in-app check-ins and break tracking. Alerts are sharper so you only hear about shifts that perfectly align with your experience, location, and availability.

Everything is lightning-fast, intuitive, and designed around your day. Update today to experience the future of special education substitute matching.
