Good news for event lovers — curated events with active participants now rise to the top of the events list, so the most buzzing gatherings are always front and center. On the web, tapping "View" in the confirmation toast after booking a stay will now take you straight to your Stay details, exactly where you'd expect to land. We've also squashed a sneaky map bug on iOS that was causing the app to crash, so you can explore the map with confidence. Behind the scenes, we've been busy trimming down the app size, fine-tuning performance, and shoring up our infrastructure to keep everything running smoothly wherever your adventures take you.
