FlipperForce Field Mobile App

Mobile Updates: Get Directions & Open in Web Browser

We've added new project shortcuts to the FlipperForce mobile app to help you get things done with just one tap.
Open in Web Browser
Need to access a feature that's only available on our full web platform? We've added a shortcut that allows you to seamlessly open your current project in your phone's web browser with just one tap. This gives you instant access to all of FlipperForce's powerful web-based features.
Opening in web browser
Get Directions
Getting to your properties is now faster than ever. The new "Get Directions" shortcut automatically opens the property's location in your native map app, like Google Maps or Apple Maps, and provides you with driving directions instantly.

Based on your feedback, we've improved the photo upload feature in both the web app and the mobile app to ensure your photos are always uploaded in the correct order to the second.
Previously, photos were uploaded and sorted by the day they were taken, but this sometimes caused the photos to be out of order to exact timestamp the minute and second the photo was taken.
We've now fixed this by ensuring that all uploaded photos are organized by the exact timestamp, down to the second.
This change guarantees that as you walk through a property and take photos, the photos will be saved in the exact same sequence. When you view your photo log in the web app or mobile app's photo carousel, you can now virtually walk back through the property in the precise order you originally did.

Increased File & Photo Upload Limits

We've made some great improvements to how you manage your project documents and photos in FlipperForce!
We've increased the file size limit for all document and photo uploads from 25 MB to 30 MB per file. This gives you more flexibility to upload high-quality photos and larger documents like blueprints or surveys.
We also removed the 1 GB storage limit on projects. This means you now have unlimited storage for all your project files and photos, so you can upload as much as you need without worrying about hitting a cap.
These changes are designed to help you manage and store all your critical project assets more efficiently and without restrictions.
We've added a number of new categories to the Material Catalog based on user requests. This update gives you more options to organize your commonly used materials.

The new categories include:
  • Kitchens
  • Bathrooms
  • Roofing
  • Siding
  • Decking
  • Garage
  • Concrete
  • Fencing
  • Framing
  • Drywall
  • Cabinets
  • Countertops
  • Electrical
Adding these new categories were an easy win that gives you more flexibility to manage your commonly used materials. Thank you for your continued feedback—we're always listening to help improve your FlipperForce experience.
We've just released a helpful update to the FlipperForce Field mobile app that makes managing your real estate projects even more convenient. You can now create new projects directly from your mobile device, wherever you are.
What's New?
You no longer need to wait until you're back at your desk to start a new project. We’ve added the “Create Project” feature to the FlipperForce Field mobile app, allowing you to instantly add a new property to your dashboard.
  • Quick & Easy Setup:
    Simply tap the + Add Project button, and you can start a new project in seconds.
  • Smart Address Search:
    Use our new address lookup feature with Google Maps integration to quickly find and autofill the property address.

FlipperForce Field Mobile App: Supercharged Photo Uploads and Bug Fixes!

We've released a new update for the FlipperForce Field app, and this one is all about making your on-site photo documentation faster and more reliable than ever before.

Bug Fixes:
  • Bulk Photo Upload Crashes:
    We've resolved an issue that caused the app to crash when you tried to upload 30 or more photos at once. You can now reliably upload large batches of photos without interruption.
  • Photo Library Permissions:
    We've fixed a bug where users with "Limited Access" permissions for their Photo Library encountered problems. The app now fully supports both "Limited Access" and "Full Access" photo library settings.
We're excited to announce the soft release of our new Public API! Our Public API is a significant stepping stone, designed for tech-savvy users or those with engineering resources to build custom integrations and connect FlipperForce's powerful features with other software platforms.
You can find the Public API info on the Integrations page under Workspace Settings > Integrations in the top navigation bar.

Unlock Powerful Automation for Your Business:
For approved users, the API allows for seamless integration with other software, automating data transfer and reducing manual entry. Our current endpoints allow you to create, edit, and delete projects, upload photos, and create project updates. This opens up a world of possibilities for streamlining your real estate investing:
  • Automated Project Creation from CRMs:
    Automatically create new FlipperForce projects from leads in your existing CRM (e.g., Salesforce, HubSpot, Follow Up Boss) as they progress, eliminating manual data entry.
  • Seamless Photo Management:
    Upload project progress photos directly from other platforms or set up automated backups of FlipperForce photos to external storage.
  • Custom Reporting & Dashboards:
    Pull FlipperForce project data into custom reports or business intelligence dashboards to gain deeper insights.
  • Streamlined Communication:
    Programmatically create project updates to keep team members or partners informed via your preferred communication tools.
  • Future Expansions & Collaboration:
    We're actively developing endpoints for receipts, file attachments, and expenses. Have an idea for an integration? Reach out! We're open to adding new endpoints by request.
Coming Soon: Zapier Integration!
This Public API is the foundation for our upcoming Zapier integration. Soon, you'll enjoy a seamless, no-code solution to connect FlipperForce with thousands of apps, extending the reach of our API to everyone.
We're thrilled about the potential of our new Integrations page and Public API. Request API Access on the Integrations page to get started!
