Salesforce for Android

Good app

I like this app. It can perform even better.

SF 1

with wlan acces it is a helpful opportunity to get Access to reports and to react fast. I hope that the app will be developed further on

Time to focus on mobile

SF 1 is painfully slow, buggy, and needs work. Not fr the techs either, from real world sales people that have to match their desktop versions. In SF Pro I might hit 8,000 page views a month, and I've sat SF 1 next to the desktop and compared how odd the whole experience can be. On the road you want data, not to mention a few mobile layout options for the simple sale. Make the call, but SF 1 forces you to peck like a crazed chicken just to finish out a call. Try viewing 74 calls that day, can't zip up and down. Competitors have a clean interface and I'm six months into SF 1 on Android/Nexus 5, but I don't see enhancements coming from SF.

Too slow

I have tried to use it 1000 times but always that i try to use it i have to wait over 1 minute for the app. To be downloaded on my device...it is sad since i am away of my desk almost all day doing sales presentations and i have to come the following day to update my contacts.

It would be great if only....

What's the point of using this app if you can't access your previous notes? I don't like to call into customers without first reviewing my notes and since I can't do that... I end up using the web version instead. Hoping the next update will allow access to my previous notes.

Easy to use and intuitive

Very easy to understand and start using without any training or hand-holding. Makes it even easier to adopt Salesforce because it's always at your fingertips.

Nice app but slow

Has some nice funtionality, but operates very slowly, particularly if phone data is only 2 or 3G. Painfully slow at times, and a major problem in getting my team to use it. Other apps (akvelon call tracker, Salesforce labs logger) seem to run a better speed on the same device, and salesforce desktop via the same phone hotspot connection runs well, so the speed issue seems to be within saleforce1 app itself. Also, can we get the call history function on iphones as well as android? Thanks

This is the 1

There has been so much talk about Salesforce1 since Dreamforce13 that I did not get around to reviewing this. All you need to know is, go to Google Play and install this now! Your standard and custom objects and apps will be accessible, navigable, usable...what a result. Ok there are a few things that are still to be resolved, and 101 requests and ideas that are listed and probably in progress. So keep up to date with the latest release, but dont let that put you off what is a huge improvement on previous mobile apps.

Lack of Articles (KB) is a big disappointment

The app overall is pretty good, but unfortunately once you activate it, that's the only interface you can use via mobile (it's maybe not really an app - it's an HTML5 interface to SFDC). So if you've been wanting to use it to access Articles - you'll be disappointed. And if you've been using your mobile browser to access the desktop UI - you'll lose full access. Allegedly on the roadmap, but I am tired of Articles/Knowledge being second class object in the system

Love it!

This app definitely comes in handy when I'm away from my desk and this is only the initial release. Can't wait to see where this app will grow to become!
