The five fields Dubai requires on every advertisement, why a permit that expires today is still valid today, and what happens to a live page the morning after one lapses.

What shipped

The short version, for somebody already using it. Everything here is live today.

  • Photographs open full screen

    Every gallery on a property page and inside a Selection now opens to a full-screen viewer, with keyboard arrows, a swipe and a counter.

  • Time spent per property in a Selection

    Activity now reports how long a client spent on each property, not only that they opened the link.

  • The wizard asks one question at a time

    Adding a property is a guided flow for a listing that has never been published, with the publish gate live throughout.

  • Direct photograph uploads

    Photographs go straight to storage instead of through the application, so a phone photograph no longer brushes against the request size limit.

Reading about it is slower than trying it.

Fourteen days free with no card, and a live page in about three minutes. Your originals stay yours.
