  • Project Updates:
    Project managers and contractors will be able to post real-time project updates directly from the job site.

Timeline Expectations
Development is already underway, and we're targeting a launch in
late July or early August
. We've built in some buffer time to account for thorough testing and the app store approval processes for both the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store. We want to ensure a smooth and stable initial release.
Important Note on Initial Features
It's important to set expectations that the initial version of the mobile app will not include all the functionality of the FlipperForce web application. We are strategically focusing on core project management features for this first release to address the immediate needs of project managers and contractors in the field. We plan to expand the app's functionality in future updates based on your feedback.
Beta Testing & Feedback:
We're looking for users to beta test and provide feedback! If you'd like to help shape the FlipperForce mobile app, please email Dave at dave@flipperforce.com. We welcome your input on features and functionality.
We're excited about this and will keep you updated!
We're excited to announce that Project Updates are now available to all our Solo Plan users! Previously, this feature was exclusive to our Teams and Business plans, but we've recognized the value it can bring to everyone, especially with the introduction of the new Share Link feature.
image
Now, as a Solo user, you can easily create and log progress updates for your projects, keeping a clear record of your achievements and milestones. With the newly launched "Share Link" functionality, you can now effortlessly share these updates with external stakeholders like business partners, lenders, and investors.
Why the change?
This update is particularly exciting as we gear up for the release of our new mobile app, which will feature both Project Updates and Photo Logs. By making Project Updates available to all users, including those on the Solo Plan, we ensure that everyone can take full advantage of the mobile app's capabilities to track and share their project progress on the go.
We initially envisioned Project Updates as a tool primarily for team collaboration. However, with the introduction of the Share Link, we realized the immense value it can offer Solo users. Now, you have a streamlined way to communicate your progress externally, even if you're working independently.
Need to keep external stakeholders in the loop on your project's progress?
Now you can effortlessly share your Project Updates log with anyone via a unique shareable link. This new feature makes it incredibly easy to provide lenders, business partners, or other external collaborators with a real-time view of your latest updates without requiring them to log in.
To use this feature, simply navigate to your Project Updates section and click the "Share Link" button. A unique URL will be generated that you can then copy and share.

See it in action! Here's an example of what a shared Project Updates link might look like:
Keep your external stakeholders informed and streamline your communication with this convenient new feature!

Document Manager

Expense Tracker

Bug Fix: Receipt File Names Restored

Resolved an issue in the Expense Tracker where uploaded Receipt File Names were displaying as randomly generated strings in the Documents area. The system now correctly displays the original file name upon upload.
image
This fix was applied to over 100,000 existing receipt uploads, reflecting the extensive use of this feature.
We're continuing to improve the Expense Tracking functionality, with upcoming enhancements including an AI receipt scanner and a dedicated receipt inbox to streamline your expense management.
We've made some behind-the-scenes improvements to your photo log to make viewing faster and smoother, especially for users with many photos. You should now experience quicker loading and scrolling when browsing through your photo logs.
Additionally, we've implemented updates that should improve the stability and speed of photo uploads, particularly from mobile devices.
With over
250,000 photos hosted and 10,000+ uploaded monthly
, we're committed to providing a seamless photo management experience.
Also stay tuned, we are starting to build a dedicated mobile app which should be available in July 👀

Project Budgeter

User Management

Granular Permissions for Accounting Features

We've made a small but useful improvement to our Accounting permissions. Previously, access to all Accounting features (Project Budgeter, Expense Tracker, and Income Tracker) was managed under a single permission.
image
Now, we've separated these out, giving you more control over who can access each feature.
image
This allows businesses to grant specific access to Team Members. For example, you can now allow project managers or bookkeepers to track expenses using the Expense Tracker without also granting them access to the Project Budgeter and overall project profit information.
Stay tuned for more updates to our Expense Tracker, including a dedicated Receipts page with its own permissions, coming soon!
We've added a new "Quick Links" feature to the Project Overview page header, making it even easier to access your frequently used resources.
Quick Access to Essential Tools
Now, directly below the project address and specifications, you'll find a section for Quick Links.
image
Easy Link Customization
To edit your Quick Links, just click the "Edit" button within the section. A modal will appear, allowing you to add or modify link titles and URLs. These links will then be readily accessible, opening in a new tab for quick navigation.
image
Link to Your Favorite Resources
This feature allows you to link directly to essential resources, including:
  • Real estate websites (e.g., Redfin, Auction.com).
  • CRM systems.
  • Cloud storage folders (e.g., Google Drive, Dropbox).
  • Pinterest Inspiration boards.
  • Matterport 3D renderings.
  • Local government websites for permits or zoning.
  • Utility company websites.
  • Any other website you find valuable for your project.
We're always looking for ways to improve FlipperForce, and this update is a direct result of user feedback. We love collaborating with our users to continue to enhance the platform and make it even more efficient for your real estate investing needs.
Projects inevitably involve a lot of those random details – quick notes, lockbox codes, utility logins – that don't quite fit anywhere else. We realized our old Project Notes weren't providing the organization you needed, so we've introduced a new and improved version with significantly more flexibility.
What's Changed?
Project Notes Annotated
Multiple, Separate Notes:
Before, you were limited to a single Project Notes text area, which often became cluttered with random information. Now, you have the flexibility to create multiple, distinct notes, allowing you to organize your miscellaneous project data by topic or category
image
Enhanced Text Editor:
We've added a robust text editor, giving you a wide range of formatting options. Use headings, bullet points, lists, bold text, italics, and even links to customize your notes and make them easy to read.
image
What Can You Use Project Notes For?
This enhanced Project Notes is your central hub for all those miscellaneous project details. Think of it as your project's digital notebook, where you can:
  • Document walkthrough observations:
    Detail specific property conditions and potential issues.
  • Organize scope of work:
    Create clear lists of repairs and renovations.
  • Store lender and loan information:
    Keep contact details and loan terms easily accessible.
  • Manage partner details:
    Track agreements and responsibilities.
  • Record lockbox and utility information:
    Store codes, logins, and contact details.
  • Keep track of material costs and calculations:
    Centralize all your financial data.
  • Compile contractor notes and communication logs:
    Stay organized and informed.
  • Plan marketing strategies:
    Record listing details and marketing plans.
  • Save meeting notes and to-do lists:
    Keep track of important discussions and tasks.
  • Link to external resources:
    Easily access documents, photos, and websites.
