Mobile app for CiviCRM

To be clear, I don’t get paid to endorse things, ever. So I’m not here to push you to try new tools that aren’t useful for you.

But dang. I just tried CiviMobile, and frankly I can't believe it isn't more often talked about and widely used.

With less than 5 minutes of setup, I've now got an app on my phone that lets me search and edit contacts, activities, event participants, memberships, and all the major components in my CRM data.

I can also sync contacts into my phone, and could in theory even use the app when I'm offline (although that's not as magically wonderful as it might sound, for good reasons).

What surprises me is that more of my clients aren't using this.

Of course it's just a tool, and tools don't solve problems on their own. (After all, the hammer won't swing itself.)

But it's free, seems like a great tool for staff users, and it’s super-easy to get started.

You can get a better idea from this (somewhat cheesy, but informative) promo video by the app developers.

Getting started is as easy as installing the “CiviMobileAPI” extension in CiviCRM, and installing the free app on your Android or iPhone device.

If you're not already using it, I suggest it's worth 10 or 15 minutes of your time to give it a look.

All the best,
A.
