Rolling Out the New RSVLTS App: All You Need to Know!

Here at HQ, we've heard your feedback about the RSVLTS app very loud and clear. Everything from bugs, functionality issues and all the way to areas where the tech could be improved. Over the last few years, we've been hard at work behind the scenes doing our best to address each and every one of these concerns, all in hopes of making your input actionable. 

Today, a project initiated by Steve in 2023, has reached an exciting milestone and we’re happy to share that we’ve migrated the app to a more modern, modular codebase. 

Both Steve and John always envisioned the RSVLTS app to be more than just a marketplace to shop, but as an internal universe and future hub for the community to grow, engage and build upon. The current version is just the foundation, but since this was a complete ground-up build, it offers us endless possibilities to ensure the app stays true to its original intentions. The new RSVLTS app will not only resolve many of the existing bugs and shortcomings, but also set the stage for expanded functionality and new, community-driven features. We are beyond pumped to announce that we will be rolling out this update tonight and throughout the weekend!

First Things First - To ensure a smooth transition, the app’s interface will remain largely the same for now. Our initial focus is on resolving bugs that may have gone undetected during internal testing. Once we’ve stabilized the new system, we’ll begin rolling out plenty of other fresh features.

What’s New? 

Splash Screens for Android Users: Don't fret, Android users! You’ll now see a splash screen when launching the app—a small but overdue improvement. 

Real-Time Drops: Our regular 4pm drops and Dropzones will now appear on the home page without requiring you to close and reopen the app. While this feature will take a bit of fine-tuning on our end, we expect it to be fully optimized within a month. 

Reporting Issues: If you encounter any bugs or disruptions during this rollout, we encourage you to let us know. Please email app@rsvlts.com with: 

  1. A brief description of the issue 

  2. A screenshot, if applicable 

  3. Your device make and operating system version 

Additionally, we’ll be opening a temporary thread in the RSVLTS Insiders group to address any critical issues in real-time. Finally, to fully give the new app a “John Taffer-esque” stress test, we’re planning a Dropzone-style drop on Monday if there are no critical bugs or functionality issues after the weekend. More details will follow soon! 

We appreciate your patience and support as we continue to improve your RSVLTS app experience. All of your feedback has been invaluable in shaping this update, and we’re extremely excited for the road ahead!
