Put your Podio apps on your iPhone, be productive on the go!

20.09.11 Posted in Product News by

It’s been fantastic to see how many of you have been managing your activities, tasks, and inbox on the go with the Podio’s mobile apps. Today, we are excited to launch a new iPhone application that puts your Podio apps, items and work spaces right onto your mobile. As of today, any of your existing Podio apps will work on the iPhone, for you and your colleagues to use while out and about. I think it’s safe to say that Podio is now the easiest way to create mobile apps to get your work done.

We encourage you to try it out with your existing apps, or create a new app at podio.com just for your mobile device.  And while you’re at it, please help us out and leave your review in the Apple App Store… we’d appreciate it!

Build your own work app for the mobile

Podio set out to empower you to manage your work and processes in an easy and efficient way. If you use Podio you probably also use some apps, these are the core of getting work done on Podio. In fact, our users have built or modified more than 20,000 work apps since our launch in March 2011.  Now, all of these apps are now available on the iPhone to support mobile productivity.  Here’s an example:

Create app items and access your work on the go

Here is what you can do with the new iPhone application

  • Customize your Podio mobile home-screen with all your favorite apps and spaces
  • Create and edit app items from your iPhone for everyone to work on
  • Put photos and video directly into your app items
  • Quickly find what you’re work on: for example, use app filters to only see projects that are overdue 

We’ve already seen customers looking to use mobile apps for reporting expenses, managing sales, taking field notes, spotting trends, and tracking bugs. Have a different use-case?  Just create your own app– no technical skills required.  And then leave a comment, we would love to hear it.

What do you think?

Get Podio’s iPhone application for free, and start using any of your existing Podio apps today. Or, create a new app on Podio for whatever you’re trying to get done: a project, an event, a product release, or that next big sale. Want to learn more? Meet Sebastian Rehnby, the Podio iPhone developer, on the Podio Weekly show, Thursday’s at 17:00 GMT+1 (that’s 11am US east coast time).  

Most importantly? Help us improve Podio as a mobile work tool by giving us your feedback below or by tweeting using #podio or @podio. We are looking forward to seeing what mobile apps the Podio community will create!

 

PS.  If you use Android don’t dispair, a new version of our Android app with widgets has just been released, too!

    Just had my first tinker – very good. I don’t have an ipad but am considering one, will there be a similar app released or is the web interface suited to the ipads Safari browser?

    Hey Ben, glad to hear. Our webversion is optimized to fit a tablet screen such as the iPad, we’re also considering a separate iPad app if we see a lot of demand.

    I second that – i’ve just gone to search for podio in the app store on my ipad and was sorely disappointed to only see an iphone version :(

  • Mosey Levy

    +1 for iPad!

    +1 for iPad optimized version (the apps across the top are not always accessible as it is now)

    unfortunately the android app it’s not even comparable with the iphone one, it misses a lot of useful stuff

    I like the new iPhone app now that I can access my own apps but I see now way that I can actually search my own apps. Filters need to be created on the desktop before they can be used but even then I can’t do a search on the fly.

    Have I missed something?

  • Carlos Vazquez

    Yeah lucky for me I have both Android and iPhone, but would love to be able to have the same features on my Android as we do on my iPhone

    Please don’t discriminate against Android…they may not be a fashionable as iphone users, but android owners have jobs to do too… :(
