In our Kisok accounts, Singers are presented with 2 fields for their names. First Name and Last Name. Pretty straightforward so far. We asked for both names because there are just way too many Harry’s out there. The last name is purely to make it easier to identify people. To make it more flexible, we have given the Hosts the choice to make the “Last Name” compulsory or optional. Just choose this in the settings when you add the venue.

In our latest update, we added a feature where the Host can add a “custom message” that is displayed to the Singers every time they submit a request. It’s in the middle of the screen; We added the default message; > "Please come and say 'Hello' to the Host. We like to interact" However, this message is customisable. The Host can change this or even remove it completely.

Hitting the Move to New button will move the request back into the unapproved list. From there you can decline it or approve it again.

Here is a range of characters you could encounter; With this in mind, recently we made some modifications to how an apostrophe was handled. If the Host used one type of apostrophe, and a Singer conducted a search using a different type, we wanted to make sure they got the results they were looking for. So here is what we did. We have unified the apostrophe across the entire App. From now on, it doesn’t matter what character a Host uses, our system will recognise it and convert it to a standardised apostrophe. When a new song is added, our system will convert them all to the same character. We scanned all of the previously entered characters and converted them too. Then, in the Singer’s App, we recognise any apostrophe characters and modify any incorrect searches to the standardised apostrophe. Now all of your search result...
