ACS Iphone Application Part 2 – Where’s the Love?”
So I was celebrating the launch of the iPhone App last week but I need to note some constructive criticism for the ACS team… The search functionality is great, except you can’t search for one person by their full name you can only search by last name. After talking with R&D they are aware of the bug that returns results “NULL” “NULL” when you search on a first name last name or Last Name,First name. It sounds like soon an update will be released that will search First, Last and Goes by Names and return those results correctly… sounds like a much better solution… so we’ll wait and see.
But my bigger concern is where is the love for windows mobile devices? Why do I have to go down the hall to use Kirt’s iPhone to try out the new application? If you can program a tool for iPhone then where is the Windows Mobile Application?
And a final question for this post… where is the Exchange Synchronization tool that was shared at the Spring convention? Its been several months and we are still “wishing for more”. To be able to access this information from Outlook would be a huge win for Northwoods and many other ministries… so where is the Love ACS?
Good news Jason, we do have a Windows Mobile 6 Professional version of ACS Church Life. You can install it by going to http://www.acstechnologies.com/products/applicationonlinehelp. The two .cab files you need are at the top of the page. Please understand this is in a beta stage and it requires you to have Access ACS and\or ACS Facility Scheduler. Plus, we have a Mobile HTML site you can use on any device that is Internet accessible. The site for this is http://www.churchlife.mobi/mobile. Not to mention we have our Outlook Integration and Silverlight screen display applications we are working on releasing to beta within the next two weeks. Hope this helps and you feel the love.
Hey, look at me! I’m Jason. Snark. Snark.
