MOBILE APP VERSION 2

Over the past few months, we've almost completely re-engineered the Mobile App, to make it far more useful for you and your members. It includes the following new features:

• A revamped user interface, with a new pull-out menu at the top. This menu can include a custom app menu displaying above the club website menu, as well as app-specific features. This menu is defined through the website, on the Control Panel - Website - Setup - Menus screen.
   
  
  
  
• Direct Messaging between members. Once members have opted in to received direct messages, members can message each other through the app. They can also create ad hoc groups and message multiple people at the same time. Members can opt-in and opt-out of a group, report messages that are inappropriate, and block people from whom they don't want to receive messages. The lion's share of development for this project was spent on the Direct Messaging feature and we're very excited to finally be able to release it for your members.
   
  
  
  
• In-App notifications. Through the website, administrators can send mobile Notifications directly to members using the app. This interface is similar to emailing and text messaging. It allows you to create complex distribution lists to send to selected members or to exclude member groups.
   
  
  
  
• The member notification center allows members to view their full history of notifications. Members receive notifications for direct messaging requests, unread messages, general club notifications, and unread chat messages.
   
  
• We improved the Channel Picker and how channels are displayed. We now allow for custom icons for each channel. Also, the active channel now has an indicator.
   
  
  
  
• The logo from Mobile App Options now displays on the slide out menu for increased brand recognition.
   
  
• The Remember Me function has been improved so that it now works reliably under the latest versions of iOS and Android.
   
  
• We improved the user interface for the member Profile screen, so members can more easily update their personal information through the app.
  
  
  

All the other app features are still there, including Channels that can be defined in multiple ways, and channel-specific functions like chat, meets, polls, events, and directories.


With these changes, the Mobile App becomes a far more powerful tool to facilitate communications and sharing information from your organization to your members and especially between members. If your organization is not already using the mobile app, we hope you will consider enabling it. And if you are using it, encourage your members to download and try out the updated app.
