How do people get it?
Anyone can go to URL and sign up right now. You’ll receive an invite to Apple’s TestFlight service which you can then use to download the app and provide beta feedback.
Beta signup is now closed, we will update this post when it is reopened.
Beta word of caution
While we believe this is a very stable application, and the iOS team has done amazing work, please remember that this is pre-release software. It is a REAL beta. It has bugs. You will likely will encounter a few. If you have concerns about using a beta app on your real account data, you should proceed with caution (and perhaps give it a try on a trial account). We’ll do our best to provide support for issues but customers should expect that, although unlikely, there could be potential for data loss.
Where can you give beta feedback / report bugs?
There is a ‘Submit Beta Feedback’ button in TestFlight. Please submit feedback there!

This is great news! I’ve been waiting for this! Im on the Lite plan & realized that this doesnt work unless you are on the Plus or higher plan. I would consider upgrading, but can we add contacts to automations & add & remove the contacts from lists in the app?

Hey Christopher,
This app is firmly for managaging Contacts and Deals. It’s intended to let you directly engage with their records and advance them through your sales pipeline. It has no direct awareness of automations or really anything from a marketing perspective. At least not at this time. As we continue to build out the application past 1.0 this is something we will evaluate if it makes sense to do or if that should belong as a part of a different, more marketing focused, application.
Thank you for the quick reply. That’s too bad. Without being able to add & remove contacts from lists & automations, this app won’t help me at all.
Thanks for the feedback Christopher.
You will be able to add Contacts to lists and change their statuses. It’s entirely possible that we could add some basic awareness of the Automations a contact is in, but it definitely won’t be in the 1.0 release.
I can’t get access, everytime I fill out the form I get an error saying not authorized contact the application owner. See screenshot http://prntscr.com/ikyf0t
Hello, iTunes Connect and TestFlight are down for scheduled maintenance: https://developer.apple.com/system-status/
I’d say give it another shot later today.
Ohhh ok thanks John for the quick reply

I tried clicking the link you shared https://ac-deals-crm.herokuapp.com but it takes me to an error page
Is there a working link you can post for us to download the mobile app version?
Hello, see above. Apple is experiencing an extending maintenance outage for iTunes Connect and TestFlight which are used to power the iOS beta: https://developer.apple.com/system-status/
Unfortunately this is not within our control and the form will not work until their system is back online. Our apologies, I would say to try back later.
Thanks
Hi, thanks for share the app. It will be a save of time every day. I can’t access the kink. Thanks.
Thanks Adrian, it seems that whatever Apple did on Wednesday with iTunes Connect broke a bunch of our related tools, including this one. We’re looking into it and hope to have it back online today. I’ll post here when it is fixed.
I’d love to be able to see all of my contacts with open tasks and their due date. Somewhat like a to-do list.
So you’d see a list of people with the deals they’re attached to and the due date of the next upcoming task.
That would be an awesome feature that brings all of the urgent stuff to the forefront without having to find which deal they’re associated with.

Thanks for the feedback. We have an idea for something very similar to this. It won’t make it for 1.0 but we’re not abandoning the idea, we’re hoping to get it on our post 1.0 roadmap.
What is the launch date for 1.0? I’ve been dying for this app

To be announced. We have a target date in mind but we’re not going to announce until we’re feature complete and happy with both the speed and stability of the 1.0. We’re making rapid progress every day though, so it won’t be long regardless.
Been waiting for this.
Will the contact editing support adding tags and automations?
Will there be a way to see lists available to the user?

Hello, thanks for reaching out.
- Yes to adding tags.
- 1.0 is not going to have any awareness of Automations as our first target user is a ‘salesperson in the field’ but this is not something set in stone, and we’re open to expanding that way if customer demand warrants it. Additionally there are some changes to Automation management and permissions coming on the web platform so we want to wait for that to roll out before we do anything related on mobile.
- The plan is to be able to filter the Contact List view by Lists the same way you switch pipelines in the Deals tab. This may or may not make it into the 1.0 release but it’s on the roadmap either way.
Any other questions or ideas are welcome!
Hi John, coming to Ipad too?
