Check-Ins for iPhone

Potentially brilliant but deeply flawed

This is one of the best looking and easy to use apps in the appexchange. Incredibly simple to set up and use straight away especially for a Salesforce novice like myself who keeps hitting walls when it comes to adding apps to our companies set up. Being able to view what is in the area (both company customer wise and other things like cafes etc) is very handy and I like the fact that you can take a photo and leave a comment straight aeay with minimum fuss. So what is the downside? Well quite simply it is incredibly unstable. The App in iPhone manages to work for a few clicks before it crashes and you have to log in via your salesforce account again which makes it unusable other than marvelling at how easy on the eye the app is for the limited time you can use it. So near yet so far, if the crashing gets fixed I would easily give this 5 stars so please keep developing it.

Great looking App - but would like some more functionality

This App really looks great, and the features it does have are smooth and work well. I cant help thinking that adding some more functionality would make this one of the stand-out Apps on the Appexchange. FYI - There is a mention of 'posting to chatter' and 'adding new Account/Contact record', I did not see any of those options.

Very Good and Useful Concept but missing a few key elements and buggy

Liked the concept very much, the UI and very useful re Lone Worker OH&S policies, but (i) no check out and (ii) repeatedly crashed and required repeat salesforce log-ins. Can't recommend to our team until crashing fixed.

Great Concept - Just need a little more fuctionality before we can implement

Would love to see the ability to check into leads here (in addition to Accts/Contacts). Also I am having trouble adding accounts through the app, getting a "SFDC data access error." Being able to plot the checkins in salesforce with the new geo-tag feature (rather than buried in the comments) would be another huge plus for us. Keep up the good work.

good tool but a question

I am with the below review that I would like to know if Customer number can be added. But also on comments after you have typed your comments on the activity report there is extra data. On location etc... how do I get rid of it?

Great App!

I think it's the only Check-In app for Salesforce that is so simple and with no back-end configurations. Just downloaded and started using it. It automatically shows the accounts or contacts near-by or you can Search for your Accounts and Contacts. Even better you can add a new Account or Contact on the fly. Foursqaure POI data integration is pretty smart!. It looks simple but its bundled with many valuable features like Photo Attachments and auto posts of Checki-ns into Chatter. It's a great app overall and I can see many use cases of this app including a birds eye view of your Sales team activity!. Good Job.

Good concept, rudimentary implementation

Early days for this new app--may consider again as it matures, but not ready for production use for our organization. Used from iPhone5 to Sandbox--can select through Settings.CheckIns--to evaluate. Accounts are shown with Name and Address, so other distinguishing info, like RecordType or Customer Number, is not available to determine which account is which. No filtering provided. Search for city shows first 100-200 (cities starting with "A"), no pagination. Posts to Account record did not record map coordinates (shown as 0,0). User Experience design worked fine, no issues.

Works Well

Nice interface and easy to use. It worked for me on both Accounts and Contacts.
