FlipperForce Field Mobile App

Faster, More Reliable Photo and Receipt Uploads in the Mobile App

We rebuilt how the FlipperForce mobile app uploads photos and receipts on both iOS and Android. Uploads are now significantly faster and more reliable, and a new My Recent Uploads inbox makes large uploads easier to manage.
Faster, More Reliable Uploads
Uploading photos and receipts is now significantly faster. A rebuilt upload process gets your progress photos and receipts processed and into FlipperForce much more quickly, so you spend less time waiting on your phone at the job site.
Uploads are also more reliable. If an item fails partway through a batch, the app keeps track of it so you can retry just that item instead of starting the whole batch over.
My Recent Uploads Inbox
My Recent Uploads is a new inbox for managing your photo and receipt uploads. Tap the cloud upload icon at the top of the Projects screen to see every recent batch, including the project, time, item count, and where it went.
My Recent uploads mobile app
  • Check progress while backgrounded.
    Start a large upload, switch to another app, and come back anytime to see what's finished and what's still in progress.
  • Manage multiple batches.
    Start uploads for different projects and they run at the same time. Track each one from the inbox.
  • Retry failed items.
    Expand any failed item to see what went wrong and retry it right from the inbox.
How You Could Use This
  • End-of-day photo dumps
    - Upload 100 progress photos, lock your phone, and head to the next property. Check My Recent Uploads later to confirm everything landed.
  • Multiple job sites in one day
    - Start an upload at your first property, then another at your second. Both run at the same time.
  • Spotty signal
    - If a few photos fail on a weak connection, retry just those items once you're back on Wi-Fi.
Look for FlipperForce
app version 1.1.14
or later. No setup required. If automatic app updates are turned on, you may already have it. Otherwise, update the app from the App Store or Google Play.
FlipperForce now has a full dark theme across the web app and the FlipperForce Field mobile app. Choose Light, Dark, or System, and the app will look the way you want it to, whether you're reviewing a budget late at night or scanning receipts on a jobsite at dusk.
Until now, FlipperForce only offered a light theme. That works well in a bright office, but it can be harsh on the eyes at night, in a dim truck cab, or anywhere you'd rather not have a bright white screen lighting up your face.

What's New
  • Three appearance options:
    Light, Dark, and System. System automatically follows your computer or phone's display setting.
  • Web app defaults to Light.
    Nothing changes on the web unless you choose a different appearance.
  • Mobile app defaults to System.
    If your phone is set to dark mode, FlipperForce Field will match it automatically. You can switch to Light or Dark anytime from your profile.
  • Set per device.
    Your appearance choice applies to the device you're using, so you can run Dark on your laptop and Light on your desktop.
  • Printed pages and PDFs are unchanged.
    Investment Packets, reports, and anything you print or export keep their standard light formatting.
How to Turn It On (Web App)
  1. Click your avatar in the upper right corner.
  2. Open your
    User Profile.
  3. Scroll to the
    Appearance
    section and select Light, Dark, or System.

How to Change It (Mobile App)
  1. Open FlipperForce Field and tap your profile image in the upper right corner.
  2. Tap Appearance at the top of the menu.
  3. Select Light, Dark, or System.

Your Daily Digest and Weekly Digest emails now lead with the
Work Assigned to You.
Before, every task in the workspace showed up in one combined list. If you had a few team members across a few active projects, finding your own work meant reading the entire email. There was no Assigned To column, so there was no way to tell whose task was whose.
This came directly from a customer who wanted a more focused daily update for his guys in the field. A superintendent checking his phone at 7am does not need to read through the bookkeeper's task list to find out he has a rough-in inspection at 10.
image
What's New
  • Work Assigned to Me
    sits at the top of both emails. Your overdue tasks, your tasks due today, and your schedule tasks are all in one place.
  • Upcoming Work Assigned to Me
    gives you the look ahead for your own tasks and schedule items.
  • Other Tasks
    moved to the bottom. This covers tasks assigned to other team members and any tasks that are still unassigned, so you keep visibility across the project without it burying your own work.
  • An Assigned To column
    was added to the task tables so you can see who owns what at a glance.
  • Manage My Tasks and Workspace Tasks buttons
    take you straight into the app from the email.
Daily vs. Weekly
Both digests got the same treatment, but they answer different questions.
  • Daily Digest
    arrives every morning around 7am. It focuses on what is overdue and what is due today.
  • Weekly Digest
    arrives Sunday night. It looks ahead at everything that needs to get done in the coming work week.
How You Could Use This
  • Field superintendents and PMs
    - Open the email in the truck and see exactly what you own today before you get on site.
  • Workspace owners
    - Use the top section as your own punch list, then scan Other Tasks to catch work slipping on someone else's plate.
  • Solo flippers
    - Overdue, due today, and the week ahead are now three separate lists instead of one pile.
  • Sunday planning
    - Use the Weekly Digest to line up contractors and material orders before the week starts.
The AI Receipt Analyzer now accepts Word documents. Upload a .doc or .docx straight into your project's receipts and the analyzer reads it the same way it reads a PDF or a photo.
Previously, Word files were not a supported file type. If a contractor sent an invoice as a Word doc, you had to open it, export or print it to PDF, and then upload that. A small step, but a frequent one, since plenty of subs and vendors invoice out of a Word template rather than accounting software.
What's New
  • Both .doc and .docx files can now be uploaded to your receipts and analyzed like any other supported file
  • The analyzer pulls the same information it pulls from PDFs and images, so the receipt lands in your project with no manual re-entry
  • No conversion step, no third party converter, no printing to PDF first
How You Could Use This
  • Contractor invoices
    - Your framer emails a Word invoice at the end of the week. Upload it directly to the project's receipts and let the analyzer log the cost.
  • Vendor and supplier billing
    - Smaller suppliers often send Word or template-based invoices instead of a formatted PDF. Those now go in as-is.
  • Clearing a backlog
    - Word invoices already sitting in your email or Drive from earlier in the project can be uploaded without touching each one first.
No setup required. Upload a Word file anywhere you would upload a receipt today. The AI Receipt Analyzer is included in all All-In-One plans.
The Public API now supports your Material Catalog. You can read, create, update, and delete materials in your workspace programmatically, which means your catalog no longer has to be built or maintained by hand.
Import Your Past Material Purchase History
If you have years of buying history sitting in a supplier account, that history is a materials list you already paid for. We tested this over the weekend by pulling a Home Depot purchase history export and loading over 200 items into a catalog in one pass. Titles, prices, SKUs, and supplier, product images all imported in minutes. Building that catalog manually would have taken hours.
The same approach works for a materials spreadsheet you have been keeping outside FlipperForce.
Keep Your Material Pricing Current
Material prices move. A catalog built six months ago is quoting six-month-old numbers into your estimates.
You can now hand your API key to an AI agent like Claude or ChatGPT and have it read every material in your catalog, look up current pricing, and write the updated prices back. Your catalog refreshes without you opening a single product page.
Getting Started
Request an API key at Workspace Settings, Integrations. Full documentation is at tools.flipperforce.com/docs/api.
We made a few small improvements to the Material Catalog to make it easier to work with a larger catalog.
New Column Sorting
Click any column header to sort your catalog. Sort by Price from lowest to highest, Supplier alphabetically, or Category alphabetically.
Material Catalog sorting
Once your catalog grows past a few dozen materials, scrolling to find what you need gets slow. Sorting by price lets you find the cheapest option in a category when you are value engineering a scope, and sorting by supplier groups everything from one vendor before you place an order.
New Export to CSV and PDF Option
You can now export your Material Catalog using the same options you already have on other tables. CSV, PDF, or copy to clipboard.
Export to CSV
Your catalog holds your standard pricing, and it is useful outside the platform. Export to CSV to compare your numbers against a contractor's material list in a spreadsheet, or export to PDF to send a clean copy to a partner or your bookkeeper.
Workspace Tasks pulls every task from every project task manager into one list. Once you are managing a handful of active projects, that list gets long. This release makes it easier to find what you need and clear it.
Search Across All of Your Tasks
A new search box searches your entire task list by:
  • Task name
  • Task notes
  • Project name
  • Assigned to
Type a User's name to see everything waiting on them. Type a project address to isolate that job. Type a keyword from your notes to find the task you wrote three weeks ago.
Task Manager Search
New Status and Priority Filters
Filter your list down to overdue tasks, high priority items, or a single assignee. Combine filters with search to narrow to exactly what you are looking for, then hit Clear filters to reset.
Mark Tasks Complete from the Table
A new checkbox sits next to every task in the list. Click it to mark the task complete without opening the task modal. Working through a list of finished items is now one click each.
Marking tasks complete on overview
The same search, filter and check options have been added to the Task Manager inside each project, so you can find tasks and mark them as complete without leaving the project you are working in.

Smarter and Faster AI Bulk Expense and Receipt Analysis Imports

We upgraded the AI engine powering the AI Receipt Analyzer and the AI Bulk Expense Importer.
AI Bulk Expense Importer
  • Large imports run roughly twice as fast. A 300 line item expense import that previously took over two minutes now finishes in about half that.
  • Bookkeepers importing full bank statements or Home Depot purchase history will notice the difference most.
AI Receipt Analyzer
  • Better handling of long, itemized receipts.
  • More accurate on complex discounts, credits, and other adjustments.
  • Line item totals reconcile more reliably against the receipt total.
  • Improved expense categorization against your workspace categories and accounts.
AI Receipt Analyzer GiF
Nothing changes in how you use either tool. Snap a receipt or upload an import file the same way you always have.
We shipped two infrastructure updates over the past few weeks. Both target the same thing: how fast pages load and how consistently they do it.
Parallel data loading
We upgraded the platform to a modern connection protocol that lets your browser request multiple pieces of data at the same time instead of one after another. The Accounting tools benefit the most here. Budget vs Actuals, the Expense Tracker, the Income Tracker, and Receipts each pull roughly eight separate sets of data when they open. Those requests now run in parallel rather than queuing up behind each other.
No more random page stalls
A background cleanup process on our servers had grown much larger than intended. Every so often it would trigger mid-request and hang the page for up to 15 seconds. It was unpredictable, which made it easy to mistake for a slow connection.
What you should notice
  • Accounting tools open noticeably faster
  • No more random long delays when navigating between pages
  • More consistent load times overall
Nothing to update on your end. Both fixes are already live.
If you use the Calendar Integration to sync your FlipperForce calendar with a third-party calendar like Google Calendar, Outlook or Apple Calendar, we just shipped an improvement that gives you a lot more detail about each event.
Before, you got the event name and the dates. Now you get the project, the address, who it's assigned to, and links straight back into FlipperForce.
What's Included
  • Project address,
    embedded as a clickable map link so you can pull directions in one tap
  • Project name,
    so you know which property the item belongs to
  • Assigned to,
    showing the user, company, or contact along with their email and phone number
  • Deep links
    back into FlipperForce that take you straight to the Project Scheduler, Task Manager, or Calendar
  • Task notes
    , for items created in the Task Manager
image
How it Works
Nothing to set up. If you already have a calendar integration connected, the new details start appearing automatically. If you have not connected one yet, go to the Calendar and click Calendar Integrations to get your link.
This applies to both the Workspace Calendar link and the new per-project calendar links.
How You Could Use This
  • Tap the address from your phone and get directions to the job site without opening FlipperForce
  • Call or email the contractor straight from the event when they are not on site
  • Open the deep link and update the schedule dates while you are still standing in the house
  • Glance at tomorrow's events and know which property each one is at
