March brought a smoother tipping experience, smarter privacy safeguards, clearer pricing and practical improvements to help pros assess bookings more quickly.
Here’s what changed on Blys.
For Clients
A clearer tipping experience
Tipping after a booking should be straightforward.
March delivered a collection of improvements across the tipping flow. Clients now see clearer guidance when a payment card is needed, custom tip validation appears at the right time and unnecessary steps were removed from multi-pro bookings.
We also fixed several edge cases that could show a tip option after a cancelled booking or prevent a valid amount from being saved.
Pricing shown more clearly
Base rates are now shown beside service names when reviewing or updating a booking request in the relevant booking modal.
We also improved pricing accuracy across booking updates, hotel surcharges and Gift Card refunds. Together, these changes help clients understand the amount shown and reduce surprises when a booking changes.
Alternative dates and offers update properly
When a pro suggests another date or a client accepts an alternative offer, both sides now see the updated information more reliably.
This prevents a change from appearing to disappear and gives everyone a clearer view of what has been proposed or accepted.
A refreshed welcome to Blys
The logged-out splash, sign-up and log-in experiences received updated copy and imagery.
The refresh brought current Blys messaging into these important first-touch screens and created a more polished introduction for new and returning users.
For Providers
See the payout in booking text notifications
Pros can now see the payout amount directly in the SMS sent for a new booking.
That makes it easier to assess an opportunity quickly without opening the app simply to find the expected payout.
Review alerts for every rating
Provider review notification emails now cover all ratings from one to five stars, not only five-star reviews.
Each alert makes it easier to see new feedback and encourages a timely response, helping pros stay engaged with their profile and client experience.
Set a tighter service area
A new 10km radius option gives pros in dense areas more control over how far they want to travel.
Adding a smaller option at the start of the existing range helps reduce irrelevant booking requests and makes service-area settings more useful for people who prefer to work close to home.
For Clients and Providers
Smarter protection for private information
AI-powered checks now look for private contact information across more types of content, including chat images, reviews, profile content, booking notes and uploaded images.
The smarter approach replaces simpler pattern matching in key areas, helping detect phone numbers and email addresses with more context while reducing avoidable false alerts.
More room in the web dashboard
Clients and pros using the web app can now collapse the sidebar menu.
This creates more space for the page they are working on and keeps navigation available without permanently occupying part of the screen.
Reliability improvements across bookings and payments
March also resolved a range of issues that could interrupt important actions.
The improvements covered booking acceptance, couples bookings, alternative dates, payment fields on large Android screens and direct booking requests linked to deleted accounts.
These fixes do not introduce one headline feature, but together they make booking and accepting work more dependable.
More improvements are on the way
March’s releases focused on clearer decisions, safer communication and removing friction from common booking and payout tasks.
Keep an eye out for the next monthly update to see what’s new.
