We’ve got a really nice update to the iOS app this month, we have added a few really nice new features to the App.
Search
First up, and the most obvious: full Search available right from the main screen. Type in anything you waant and it will go search the server for the latest most up-to-date information possible. Tap on one of the results and if it’s something that’s not already on the phone the details will be instantly downloaded automatically for you – so no stale information here.
The list of search results has been designed for quickly skimming through, however if you need more detail then tap the ‘Expand’ button and it will give you that extra bit of context. Hit it again to go back to the simple display. And finally, to help you get around, start scrolling and a large index bar will fade in allowing you to jump straight to the section that you’re most interested in.
Notebooks
The Project screen sports three new sections, one of which is Notebooks. As you’d expect, this new Notebook section gives you the ability to read all of your Notebooks directly within the app. So no more having to go out to Mobile safari and zooming around to fit the notebook to the display – the display fits the notebook. Exactly.
Just like Notebook, the Files section gives you full access to all of the files available in your Project. Plus, as you can see from the screenshot, you can easily send the file to your favourite App. So if you like reading PDF’s in iBook or presentations in Keynote, no problem
Contacts
Finally, Contacts. A full listing of everyone associated with the project, this screen has a couple of nice touches. Each detail of the person’s information can be used – so, for example, tapping on a Skype address gives you the option of starting a Skype call, a chat or simply copying the account name. Same goes for GTalk, Email and, of course, Phone Numbers.
We hope you like it and as usual, let us know what you think!
