The 3.1 release of Housters is now up on http://housters.com and will make it to the Google Play Store and iOS App Store in the upcoming days.
One of the major changes is that we’ve upgraded alert notifications to be fully customizable. Go to the Preferences screen to toggle specific alerts on/off, as well as how you’d like the alerts to be delivered (on Housters and/or email), and how far in advance you’d like to be alerted.
Another major change, previously we included tenant rent and security deposit adjustments as transactions, even though they weren’t really transactions. Now these tenant adjustments have been broken out into their own section, simply select a tenant then go to Adjustments.
Lastly, the financial summaries and reports have been updated to support the double-entry accounting mode.
