The first update

Few days ago our first update of LendPal was approved by Apple after two weeks of waiting for review. However everything is fine and now we are live.

In this update we added one of the most wanted features from our users – borrow or lend to people that you don’t have in your contacts. Now the app is fully compatible with the new bigger than bigger iPhones. We also improved the user experience to make things easier for our users.

We hope that you enjoy using the app! If you have any feature requests or feedback feel free to write a comment or to contact us.
