So, i started testing the iPhone App today because of business reasons and i have a few things to say about it. First things first, the positive:
- Getting insight in your coworkers contact details and being able to call them on the spot is a real advantage for me, cause i always forget telephone numbers or names behind them. With the pictures linked to the names and the telephone and email adress in the details, the app alone is a must have for me.
The not so positive, but things you could enhance:
- I like how the tasks, reviews and issues are sorted by their due date, it really helps to look at them and see what is to be done really urgend. But there is a problem, because i would really like to look at more details. Just reading the heading is not always enough to remind me what has to be done, especially if the tasks are more complicated.
- The documents: Word and .jpgs can be opened without a problem, but why is there no support for the .plan docs? It would be a real help if i could look at them as well on my mobile.
So, this is my review by now for the app. Would be glad to hear if some changes are on the way.

Wonderful feedback!
We're readying a "Labs Edition" version of the app for AppStore. There's no solution for viewing the assignments yet, though. I think it will be something for the development team to consider when they update the "official" version of the app.
Wish we could show .plan files too. What I do is that I save them as PDF and upload that one. Maybe that's something that should be automatically handled by our system... The document viewing is completely piggy backing on what Apple has prepared the iPhone for.
Please stay tuned. I'll let you know in this thread when the Labs Edition hits AppStore. We'll be dying for feedback on the experimental features.

A new version of the iPhone app is available for download from the app store. It's still free and we would love some more feedback!
You can read a bit more about the new version in my blog projectplaceideas.blogspot.com. The focus for this updated version is very much on the social aspects and notifications.
So tell us what you think!
