Version History Thank you for using the SM Sender App! In this update we have increased our support for the latest OS versions. 3.0.6 09/23/2025 Thank you for using the SM Sender App! In this update we have added the ability to Single-Sign-On (SSO) to PowerSchool Community directly through the Sender App. Located on the account screen, you will find the new link under "PowerSchool Community". Please note - this should be attempted through the desktop version of Communicate first to ensure your account is active. We are also making some minor UI changes to bring the app more inline with the new User Interface in desktop Communicate. 3.0.5 12/05/2024 Thank you for using the SM Sender App! In this update we have created some efficiencies when loading a large number of lists, especially when those lists themselves contain a large number of recipients. We have removed the count on the initial new broadcast page which allows the user to move through the message creations screens much quicker. The total count of recipients and individual recipient list count will still show up on the broadcast preview screen, immediately before sending. 3.0.4 09/07/2024 Thank you for using the SM Sender App! In this update we have done some back end work so that we can support SSO to PowerSchool Community (valid Community account required) in the future, and added support for Dynamic Font. We also fixed an error on loading lists. 3.0.3 07/17/2024 Thank you for using the SM Sender App!
