Version History # What’s New in Buzz 2.0.8 This release makes it easier to recover from failed messages and uploads, manage content you want to send later, and keep BuzzLink conversations organized. We’ve also made Buzz-to-Buzz calling more reliable, improved security-key handling, and added safeguards to help Buzz stay stable when unexpected problems occur. **More Reliable Messages & Files** Sending a photo, file, reply, or forwarded message shouldn’t mean losing the work you’ve already done. If something doesn’t go through, Buzz now keeps the text you’ve entered on the screen so you can try again without starting over. You can also save a BuzzDrive upload or chat attachment for later instead of sending it immediately. **Better Outbox Management** When an upload or message doesn’t finish sending, Buzz now keeps it in an Outbox so you can retry it when you’re ready. A count shows how many items are waiting, and the count turns yellow when something has failed. BuzzDrive and each conversation have their own Outbox, so pending items stay organized where they belong. You’ll only see Outbox items for the account you’re currently signed in with, and you can remove individual items when they’re no longer needed. Items you choose to keep are also preserved when you clear the app cache. **More Flexible BuzzLink Conversations** BuzzLinks can now be associated with an organization and, when applicable, a department or subsidiary. The name displayed for the link uses the organization or subsidiary name, making it easier for recipients to understand where the link is associated. Messages sent to a BuzzLink group are also delivered as a group conversation, helping keep communication together in the right place. **More Reliable Buzz Calls** Calls between Buzz users now connect successfully for people whose calls previously rang without ever arriving. This makes Buzz-to-Buzz calling more dependable when connecting with other members of your care team. **Stronger Security Key Management** Buzz now checks the security keys on your phone when you sign in to make sure they match the keys associated with your account. If they don’t match, Buzz can replace the keys on your phone with the ones from your account so your messages can be read on the device. You can also use **Verify Security Keys** in Settings to confirm that the keys saved with your login password, passphrase, and phone all agree and belong together. If they don’t, you can restore the keys from your account. When Buzz asks for your passphrase, your saved passphrase hint is now shown alongside the instructions to make the process easier to follow. For accounts that need their security keys refreshed, the next sign-in asks for your passphrase and replaces the keys on your phone with the keys from your account. The older password copy of the key is then removed. **Stability & Performance Improvements** Buzz is now more resilient when unexpected problems occur. If you decline or block camera access, Buzz shows a message instead of closing. A damaged security key on your account also no longer causes the app to close. Together, these improvements make Buzz more dependable across messaging, file sharing, BuzzLink conversations, calling, and account security—helping healthcare teams stay connected and keep communication moving when it matters. 2.0.8 6d ago # What’s New in Buzz 2.0.7 This release makes it easier to recover from failed messages and uploads, manage content you want to send later, and keep BuzzLink conversations organized. We’ve also improved Buzz-to-Buzz calling, strengthened security-key handling, and added safeguards to make Buzz more reliable when unexpected problems occur. **More Reliable Messages & Files** Sending a photo, file, reply, or forwarded message shouldn’t mean losing the work you’ve already done. If something doesn’t go through, Buzz now keeps the words you’ve typed on the screen so you can try again without starting over. You can also save a BuzzDrive upload or chat attachment for later instead of sending it right away. **Better Outbox Management** When an upload or message doesn’t finish sending, Buzz now keeps it in an Outbox so you can try again when you’re ready. A count shows how many items are waiting, and the count turns yellow when something has failed. BuzzDrive and each conversation have their own Outbox, so you can manage pending items where they belong. You’ll only see Outbox items for the account you’re currently signed in with, and you can remove individual items when they’re no longer needed. Items you choose to keep are also preserved when you clear the app cache. **More Flexible BuzzLink Conversations** BuzzLinks can now be associated with an organization and, when applicable, a department or subsidiary. The name displayed for the link uses the organization or subsidiary name, making it easier for recipients to understand where the link is associated. Messages sent to a BuzzLink group are also delivered as a group conversation, helping keep communication together in the right place. **More Reliable Buzz Calls** Calls between Buzz users now connect successfully for people whose calls previously rang without ever arriving. This helps make Buzz-to-Buzz calling more dependable when connecting with other members of your care team. **Stronger Security Key Management** Buzz now checks the security keys on your phone when you sign in to make sure they match the keys associated with your account.

If they don’t, you can restore the keys from your account. When Buzz asks for your passphrase, your saved passphrase hint is now shown alongside the instructions to make the process easier to follow. For accounts that need their security keys refreshed, the next sign-in asks for your passphrase and replaces the keys on your phone with the keys from your account. The older password copy of the key is then removed. **Stability & Performance Improvements** Buzz is now more resilient when unexpected problems occur. If you decline or block camera access, Buzz shows a message instead of closing. A damaged security key on your account also no longer causes the app to close. Together, these enhancements make Buzz more dependable across messaging, file sharing, BuzzLink conversations, calling, and account security—helping healthcare teams stay connected and keep communication moving when it matters. 2.0.7 Oct 4 # What’s New in Buzz 2.0.6 This release enhances some of the flagship features by making it easier to navigate conversation history, stay on top of team mentions, and act on information in your chats. We’ve also improved threads, unread-message accuracy, Buzz Dialer integration, and performance to make secure healthcare communication and care coordination faster and more intuitive. **Catch Up on Conversation History** Need to revisit an earlier discussion? You can now jump directly to a specific date or follow a link to an older message—even when that portion of the conversation has not yet been loaded or shared with you. Buzz intelligently retrieves the missing history and takes you where you need to go. Clear gap markers let you load messages before or after the section you’re viewing, and multiple gaps can be handled independently. When exploring older history, Load Earlier continues naturally from the oldest message currently displayed. **Smarter Team Mentions & Acknowledgments** Buzz’s flexible @mention architecture helps direct messages and notifications to the right individuals or teams without unnecessarily interrupting everyone in a group. When you’re mentioned through more than one team, you can now select the specific team you’re acknowledging—providing greater clarity around who is responding and in what role. **Better Thread Continuity** Threads are designed to keep focused discussions together without losing the context of the larger conversation. Opening a thread can now retrieve a referenced message that hasn’t previously been shared with you, helping provide the context needed to follow the discussion. **More Accurate Unread Messages** Opening a busy conversation no longer automatically marks every unread message as read. Buzz now preserves unread status until messages have actually been reviewed, making it easier to return to information that still needs your attention. **Phone Numbers & Links That Work for You** Phone numbers within conversations—including numbers containing extensions or dial strings—are now recognized for convenient calling through Buzz Dialer. This helps healthcare professionals connect with patients, providers, referral partners, and other care-team members while taking advantage of Buzz’s integrated calling workflow. Web links are also clearer and easier to act on, with streamlined access to Safari when you need to continue outside Buzz. **Faster, Cleaner Conversations** We’ve streamlined the presentation of rich-text content to improve the speed at which conversations open, render, and scroll. The result is a cleaner messaging experience, particularly in larger conversations with extensive history. **Stability & Performance Improvements** This release includes additional improvements to jumping between messages, retrieving earlier conversation history, threads, chat date headers, large-image handling, and related screens. Together, these enhancements make Buzz more responsive and dependable across the secure messaging, clinical communication, and care coordination workflows healthcare teams rely on every day. 2.0.6 Sep 10 # What’s New in Buzz 2.0.5 This update makes Buzz more flexible, reliable, and easier to use—with improvements to mentions, notifications, group messaging, calling, sharing, and overall stability. ## Better Mentions You can now mention teammates with `@` and teams with `@@`, with autocomplete to help you find the right person or team as you type. Mentions in incoming messages now display correctly and remain associated with the right name. You can also acknowledge a mention on behalf of your team. ## More Powerful Notifications You can now take action on STAT and mention notifications directly from your lock screen. Need a break from STAT alerts in a busy group? You can now mute STAT alerts for that group without affecting your other notifications. ## Improved Group Messaging Past messages in groups now load in smaller batches, helping conversations open more quickly. You can request additional messages whenever you need to go further back. Poll choices now wrap properly, keeping longer options readable. ## Easier Sharing and Invitations Phone numbers and links in the information banner are now tappable for quicker access. Sharing content into Buzz is more reliable, and you can now invite someone to BuzzLink by SMS even if you only have their phone number. ## More Reliable Calls and Notifications Calls are now more resilient when answering a call or switching between Wi-Fi networks. Incoming notifications are also stored more efficiently, helping ensure they aren't lost. ## Stability Improvements We've made a number of fixes to improve overall stability and performance, including improvements to Recents search, chat photos, jumping to messages, the image picker, the phone dialer, and opening BuzzDrive and similar screens. 2.0.5 Aug 14 What’s New in Buzz This update brings more flexibility, personalization, and reliability to the Buzz experience—making communication faster, more intuitive, and more stable across workflows. Customizable Home Screen You can now personalize the Buzz home screen by customizing quick-access buttons to better match your workflow and frequently used actions. Enhanced BuzzLink Experience BuzzLinks now support including text when initiating a link, making it easier to provide context and streamline communication. Smarter Dialer Experience The Dialer now remembers the last used caller ID, helping users place calls more efficiently without repeatedly reselecting preferences. Updated Sign-Up Flow We’ve refreshed the new user registration experience with updates to the sign-up form for a cleaner and more intuitive onboarding process. Better Navigation in Recents Returning to the RECENT view now preserves the last viewed location, making it easier to continue where you left off while navigating between screens. Improved Group Messaging Group meta messages are now generated directly from the client for a more responsive and consistent group communication experience. Stability Improvements Fixed an issue that could cause a crash while rendering messages, improving overall app reliability and messaging stability. 2.0.4 May 27 Refined Messaging Experience ** Improved the look and responsiveness of key actions with an updated ACK button and added a Retry option to quickly handle message delivery issues. Cleaner STAT Experience ** Streamlined conversations with filtered threads where you are mentioned or there is a STAT message for critical actions, keeping the focus on active priority conversations. Improved Sharing & Invitations ** The Easy share option is now restored in the Invite to Buzz screen, making it easier to invite others into your network. Enhanced Stability & Performance ** Addressed edge-case crashes in chat and rich text message handling, including improvements to link processing and delegate handling for a smoother experience. Optimized Memory Handling ** Updates to memory management improve stability—especially on newer iOS 26 versions with more memory pressure to affect the older devices where system constraints may be tighter. 2.0.3 Apr 15 With this version of Buzz, we continue to enhance secure care coordination, priority messaging, and organizational control—with improved reliability on newer iOS versions and optimized performance across devices. STAT Conversations – Stay on Top of What Matters Most Introducing the new STAT tab, giving you a focused view of conversations with acknowledged priority messages—helping care teams quickly track and act on time-sensitive updates. Improved Look & Feel Refinements to chat, Recents, and STAT views provide a cleaner, more intuitive experience—making it easier to navigate conversations and focus on what matters. Optimized Memory Performance for Newer iOS Versions We’ve improved how Buzz manages memory to better handle constraints introduced by newer iOS versions—especially on older devices with less headroom due to increasing system overhead—reducing unexpected app exits and improving stability. Enhanced Organizational Controls Organizations can now selectively enable or restrict specific features for their members—providing better governance, compliance alignment, and workflow customization. Improved Message Visibility Logic Refined message access ensures that users can view relevant content once they have acknowledged the appropriate organizational context—making collaboration smoother while maintaining security boundaries. 2.0.2 Mar 30 What’s New in Buzz Buzz now delivers improved reliability for HIPAA-secure messaging, telehealth collaboration, and BuzzDrive™ document sharing—especially in low-bandwidth environments, older devices, and newer iOS OS version with tighter memory and background process limits. These updates help ensure that healthcare teams can continue coordinating care, sharing documents, and communicating securely even under constrained network conditions or device performance limitations. • Improved Media & Document Handling Video uploads from the device gallery now transfer more reliably to BuzzDrive™, and improved file type recognition ensures consistent previews across Buzz applications. • Optimized Performance in Constrained Environments Enhancements reduce memory pressure and background activity so Buzz performs more smoothly on older devices and in slower network conditions, while adapting better to newer iOS system behavior. • Smarter Messaging & Conversation Handling Message read operations and conversation updates are now handled more efficiently, improving responsiveness in busy team chats and large, patient-centered care coordination groups. • Stability Improvements Resolved edge-case crashes related to group settings, message formatting, logging behavior, and image handling—delivering a more dependable experience during secure messaging and telehealth collaboration. • Infrastructure Improvements Backend updates improve coordination between the Buzz mobile app and cloud services to support secure communication, document workflows, and healthcare team collaboration. 2.0.1 Mar 16 Buzz Passport™ – Enterprise Login Flexibility This release brings secure, frictionless onboarding for healthcare enterprises and professional organizations using industry-standard identity providers. • Seamless SSO Support with Buzz Passport™ Now, organizations using Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD), Okta, JumpCloud, and similar identity platforms can onboard users via their own login portals—without Buzz ever seeing or storing credentials. - Just-in-Time provisioning - Full support for MFA - Automatic sign-in via trusted identity providers - Strong compliance with enterprise-grade security protocols • Powerful Privacy & Simplified Login Buzz Passport ensures that your team signs in with the credentials they already use—while keeping their collaboration within Buzz secure, auditable, and compliant with HIPAA and other privacy regulations. It’s simple for users and scalable for IT. • Built for the Enterprise Buzz Passport delivers more than just SSO. It creates a secure handshake between your organization’s digital perimeter and Buzz’s end-to-end encrypted collaboration—bringing control, visibility, and peace of mind to every login. Whether you’re rolling out Buzz across large healthcare networks or small referral teams, Buzz Passport makes it easy to integrate powerful communication tools with your existing infrastructure. 2.0.0 11/14/2025 This release brings enhanced privacy controls, better collaboration across organizational boundaries, and improvements to document workflows with BuzzDrive—delivering even more power and flexibility to care teams and healthcare professionals. ** Enhanced Security & Privacy for Multi-Org Communication ** This version enhances fine-grained privacy settings for secure 1:1 and group messaging across multiple organizations. When users belong to more than one organization, Buzz ensures that sensitive information is only visible based on each organization’s configured rules—preserving patient privacy and organizational sensitivity while enabling seamless collaboration across entities. ** Reliable Encryption with Smart Recovery ** We’ve squashed an edge case where messages could fail to decrypt—often caused by users (or their devices) hoarding old public keys like they were Bitcoin. Buzz now smartly detects and recovers from these situations, ensuring secure messages stay readable and your workflow remains uninterrupted. No technical wizardry needed on your end—we’ve got it handled. ** Larger, Secure Payloads on iOS notifications ** Important messages won’t get truncated. We’ve extended support for encrypted notifications, working around iOS’s payload limitations to ensure more context-rich alerts, even when your phone is locked. **** BuzzDrive™ & Group Collaboration Enhancements ** Track File Sharing with BuzzDrive Audit Trails ** We’ve introduced meta messages to track when files are added, removed, or modified in BuzzDrive. This gives care teams better visibility and traceability of shared documents like consents, forms, and discharge instructions. ** Invite Non-Buzz Users with BuzzLink™ for Collaboration ** Now you can seamlessly add patients, family members, or external providers (like referral partners) to a conversation using BuzzLink—with no app download required. They can fill forms, view schedules, or review consents securely. The organization remains in full control, and there is no cost to you for inviting external participants. ** Mixed Security Mode for Group Sharing ** Effectively add non-Buzz users like patients or family members (using BuzzLink through SMS or Email channels) to Buzz collaboration groups for care coordination, onboarding, schedule and consent management. Not every piece of information needs full encryption. New contextual switches let authorized users share select messages (like event reminders or general updates) in plaintext with BuzzLink users, while keeping all clinical and sensitive content securely encrypted. This hybrid model improves communication flow without compromising security. **** ** Admin & Account Management Improvements ** Streamlined Invite Process: We’ve made it easier for new users to redeem invites and join your organization quickly. Invite-Only Access: Buzz now offers a “walled garden” setup where new account creation is limited to validated users with invitations—ensuring only authorized professionals gain access to sensitive collaboration environments. **** ** BuzzDrive and BuzzFlow™ Synergy ** This release sets the stage for deeper integration with BuzzFlow, our next-generation document workflow engine for consent forms, care plans, and insurance workflows—without the complexity or cost of legacy solutions like DocuSign® or SignNow enterprise portals. 1.9.68 10/07/2025 At Buzz®, we’re continually raising the bar to deliver a more innovative, faster, and more responsive experience for healthcare coordination teams. This update introduces powerful enhancements that elevate communication, coordination, and care delivery. • Urgent, Always-On Notifications with Critical Alerts • Buzz now supports Critical Alerts, ensuring that urgent, time-sensitive messages reach your care team—even when devices are silenced or in Do Not Disturb (DND) mode.

Whether syncing care visits, setting reminders, or managing shift handoffs, Buzz makes it easier to stay aligned and on time. • Introducing Zen Mode – Supervise Without the Barrage of Messages • Zen Mode offers the perfect balance for users who oversee care coordination across multiple groups but don’t need to be in the middle of every message. Stay informed with quiet oversight, free from the flood of notifications. It’s supervision with clarity, not clutter. Users can specifically mention you to alert you individually or as a part of the team mentions, thanks to the flexible and targeted messaging capabilities within group conversations.

Our latest update considers your workflow needs and brings powerful improvements and new features designed to make your communication even more seamless and efficient. **Enhanced User Control and Flexibility:** • Associate User Support: We have introduced support for associate members with a limited view of the organization. These are users in your organization who are key to the seamless workflow, but you need to control the access and view to the organization. So we enable them to respond in groups they are added to or in a simulated 1:1 conversation, effectively allowing them “to speak only when spoken to”. **Login Screen Enhancements:** • Email Change after Auto Logout: Users can now easily change their email address in case of an auto logout scenario, ensuring a seamless transition to other user’s account after a shift change when devices are shared. • Remember User ID Enhancement: We’ve improved the login experience by honoring the Remember UserId setting.

We have reverted the previous fix, which opened ClearView on double tap, restoring the reaction panel’s functionality.

Our team has been hard at work incorporating your feedback to make Buzz even better. Here’s what’s new: ••• Performance Enhancements ••• Improved speed and accessibility for unread and high-priority STAT messages, ensuring you can quickly get to important communications when monitoring multiple groups. ••• New Features ••• Image to PDF Conversion: You can now convert an image to PDF before sending it, adding a layer of versatility to how you share files. Especially useful to attach in the chart or the Medical record in EHR - with BuzzStream bridging of groups to patients - it’s seamless to push a note now. ••• Clear View Mode ••• Introducing the new Clear View mode, designed to enhance readability of long text messages. Simply double tap to clear away clutter and other interface elements, presenting message bubbles in a clean, distraction-free format. Especially beneficial on phone screens, Clear View mode allows you to focus entirely on the message content, making it easier to read and respond to peers. Optimizes on how you collaborate on the go. ••• Pinch and Zoom on Chat ••• Apart from the Clear View, we’ve enhanced usability with pinch and zoom functionality on Recents view and the chat view, a great help for those needing a closer look or who use reading glasses. Even if you use smaller font size normally, It is sweet to temporarily bump up the font size on the device with low-light situation or in motion when the vibrations make it harder to focus. ••• Reply Threads ••• Buzz has a unique capability of showing relevant messages in threads to show them in a clear view in a given view. When you respond in a reply thread, now you can “focus” on the particular message to reply to - the message text will be visible even in a collapsed mode. It makes the follow-up on conversations seamless and intuitive. ••• Organizational Management ••• Improvements:Administrators now have the ability to automatically add new groups to the organization and link them directly, simplifying group management and ensuring consistency across the platform. We are committed to continuously improving Buzz to meet your needs and appreciate all the feedback that helps us make Buzz better. 1.9.57 04/29/2024 Our team is furiously at work to enhance your experience. Here is what you can find with this new version: • We’ve enhanced chat conversations to improve the readability, customization and productivity. • Remember something that was sent last month? No more scrolling backwards to find the exact message or attachment! Searching for a message now is much easier - you can simply jump to the date where your message is likely to be and find it fast. • On a busy days with lots of parallel conversations, it is easy to prioritize your responses? Find messages where someone mentioned you and you need to get back with some answers - you can quickly filter the conversations where such messages appeared, and moreover simply view only messages awaiting your acknowledgment (ACK). And you can respond to such messages with the 'Reply-in-thread' feature to connect the conversation threads properly regardless of how old the message was. • Working off hours? You can now schedule messages to send later - simply a game changer as you can send it at the time where the recipients are most likely to be alert and receptive! (as in "late morning after their second cup of coffee":)) • We’ve got you covered with a warning if you get into your occasional dyslexic spell (or that autocorrect strikes again!) a user or team in a mention (@name ) so you know the recipient will be notified. • Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) makes it so you can get reimbursed so now you can send your location whether it is your current location or automatic GeoFence (a great time-saver BTW). • Need to edit a meeting or an event? Scheduling and calendar event management just got easier since we’ve added editing/deleting from the reminder. • We want to know what you love about Buzz - we’ve added a burger menu on the home screen. Check it out and let us know what you like, love and we’re open to suggestions too! • Oh, and we fixed a few bugs like the botched colors in the dark mode (our engineers blame it on the iOS v17, but you know better!) 1.9.56 01/17/2024 Document management enhancements include: * Ability to Fax directly from your phone. With this ability you can share documents, forms, labs, reports from anywhere on demand. Additionally, you can assign incoming faxes to be directly delivered for one more Buzz groups to improve the organizational workflow and productivity tremendously. Enhanced Readability User Messages in Conversations: * ClearView to view messages for ease of readability in a popup view in a larger font.
