Hello, 2021!
Thanks champion6

Here is a link to the "V-mail" where they discuss changes coming to the app. Just in case one doesn't live here and/or hates the "Daily Sun". Pick one or both.......

Great video.
How can the Haters say this generation is not continuing the vision.
2021 looks great.

I just checked the app itself on my phone, and don't see anything in the "news" section saying they're upgrading the app. I checked on the profile section and also saw nothing saying "Watch this space" or "update pending" or "put your ID number here" or anything indicating something new with the app itself was coming.

Some people don't get the Daily Sun, and millions of people don't read this forum. They have the app, and rely on the app to give them information about the app.

If the app itself doesn't provide any upcoming information about itself then I'm not seeing that as being "progress." I'm seeing the same old backward technology that relies on third-party sources to give information to a limited demographic.

Did you miss the part about “it will soon include”?

Good grief. No one said it was immediately available.

I'm talking about an announcement that says "it will soon include." The app has daily updates to its news section. One would THINK that "we will soon include" would be on that daily update.

It is not.

Hello, 2021!
Thanks for the information, although I could care less about having our ID’s on the app, I am very excited about a potential update to the t time system. I wonder if the plan is to have the app supplement the villages.net system, or replace the antiquated $8 per month villages.net system? No details were given on the video.

That would be nice.
When I remember back using the automated phone system to get a reservation, the $8 system seems like a dream come true.

It would be nice if the link on the Villages site actually worked!
