Page Comments

To kick off 2023, we released another way to engage your community and foster discussion in your app.

 

On the Pro plan, we added the ability to add comments on any page. This creates a section on the page where members can discuss the content in a chat thread.

Avatar Photos

Members can now put their personal stamp on their Profile with custom avatars. Whether it's a polished headshot or a playful sketch, this update empowers them to create a truly unique profile that reflects their individuality!

Encourage members to visit their Profile or account page to start snapping 📸

Dynamic Content Blocks

Keep your app content fresh without the manual updates. Dynamic content blocks allow you to display items from any content type in your app, and order it however you prefer–created first, last or alphabetically.


Plus, you have the flexibility to only display content with specific tags or scheduled dates.

The New Block Library

Revealing potentially the biggest glow-up our app builder has seen, we released the new Block library. Designed to make app creation faster, smoother, and more intuitive than ever, the Block library was truly a game-changer for your app design efficiency and consistency.


With the new [+Add Block] button, you reveal a collection of pre-designed blocks–ready to speed up your app page design process. But that's not all – you have the power to craft your own custom blocks too!

Image Upload in Messaging

Your in-app conversations just got a lot more picturesque! Image upload in messaging is here. You and your members can now:

  • Share one or many images in a conversation

  • Add a 'like' reaction to images shared 

  • Tap to expand and view images in a carousel gallery

Custom Terms & Conditions

You now can seamlessly incorporate your own Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy into your app. What's more, you can make it mandatory for Members to agree to your terms & conditions during the sign-up process.


No more fine print or hassle, just head to your 'App Settings,' and expand the 'Legal' section.

Video Upload in Messaging

Let the good times and content roll... video upload in messaging is here!

 

On top of sharing imagery and GIFs, you and your members can now:

  • Share one or many videos in any conversation

  • Upload a video of up to 50mb

  • Add a 'like' ❤️ reaction to videos shared 

Comments v2

Our comments feature gets a new look and a new experience ✨

  • Comments now display like YouTube / Facebook with the latest first

  • The Comment box sits at at the top so that it appears next to your content.

  • A Reply button is shown on each comment to encourage your Members to keep the conversation going

Rebrand to Movement

Since our inception, we've been dedicated to providing the best platform for creating impactful online experiences for your members and community. As we've grown and evolved, we realized it was time for our brand to do the same.

Our new name, Movement, better reflects how you, our valued community members, use the platform to engage with your own communities. Movement is your statement, your flag in the sand—it's bold, motivating, inspiring, and embodies the spirit of health and wellness creators like you. It also signifies our dedication to supporting a future where your community is at the heart of what you do.

We chose Movement not only for the tie to health and wellness but its deeper meaning, signifying the unification of people around a common objective, shared vision, or cause that holds significance in a community. At the core of a movement, and this Movement, lies community.
