4. Design
• Color scheme has been updated to be
brighter and make greater use of white
• The background color of the mobile app
is no longer the primary color but
instead white
• Primary color is used for base features
and the secondary color is used for
highlighting a section or action features.
In this example, blue is the primary
color and green is the secondary color
• Redesigned the homepage to make
better use of space and modified the
progress meters to be horizontal

5. Highlights
• Mobile and Social apps are now compliant with
accessibility standards (WCAG 2.1)
• Incorporated Google Analytics event tracking on all
actions/buttons/links within the mobile and social
app in order to provide greater tracking on user
engagement.
• If a user logs into the mobile app, they stay logged
in for 24 hours. After 24 hours of no activity, their
session will expire. (Blackbaud and DonorDrive)
• Upgraded environment to provide increased
redundancy, improved scalability and better
balance of user traffic across server environment
for improved performance.

6. Facebook Fundraiser
• Facebook Fundraiser is now available in the mobile app
as a banner on the mobile homepage.
• For Rallybound the connection to Facebook Fundraiser is
using the direct integration via Boundless Fundraising.
• For Blackbaud LO the connection to Facebook Fundraiser
is using the productized Blackbaud integration. Only
customers using the productized version of the
integration can leverage this new feature.
The customized/professional services option are
currently not supported by default. However, we can
provide an estimate if you’d like this feature added.

gather feedback for the App Stores – iTunes as well as
GooglePlay

8. Mobile Check Deposit
• Payor information (i.e. donor information) will now be
pulled off the check via image recognition so that the
participant/administrator does not have to key in that
information.
• When depositing a check there will be the option for
selecting from a Company or Individual donor option
so that the app displays either a single field for
company name or first and last name.

10. Channel selection
• With additional channels now being available, users
will have the ability to select which channels they
prefer to choose from so that only those relevant
channels are displayed when sending messages

11. Snapchat
• Snapchat is an additional channel that
can be enabled. By default it will be
disabled and must be enabled as part of
the 5.0 upgrade. If you do want to use
this channel it must be done as part of an
app update in the stores, so you need to
inform Karla before your mobile app is
upgraded

messages via pictures or videos.

existing Twitter content by default and
can be modified.

12. Facebook

option as well.

the link is going to – including image and content.
Note the preview is coming from the meta tags in the
pagewrapper.

13. LinkedIn
• When sharing messages via LinkedIn, users
will have the option to share a message to
their newsfeed or select one or more users
from their connections to send a private
LinkedIn message.
• A default image will no longer be shared
with the message, but rather a preview of
image/content from the URL that’s being
shared.
• Note, this is the same as Facebook where
the meta tags in the pagewrapper will
dictate what the preview will show.
