Native Mobile Apps for iOS and Android

This is the one. An app would be a game changer. I just got started with the software this week and found myself here.

Up until this point, we've been focusing solely on improving our web application which is built to be mobile friendly so you can access it from your phone on your web browser. We've spent quite a bit of time making it more user friendly on a phone, but we know having a dedicated app would provide a better user experience.
For 2025, we are seriously considering building a new native mobile app called "FlipperForce Field" to make it easier to manage your projects on-the-go.
The first iteration of this mobile app would be to build features you need while you are in the "field" and on jobsites. This would give your team and contractors the ability to do things like post Project Updates, upload Progress Photos, and scan receipts, send messages.
There's also some cool things we can do with AI to automatically scan receipts to upload expenses directly to the Expense Tracker which could save a substantial amount of time manually breaking down receipts and entering line items.
Keep in mind, this FlipperForce Field app would not include Deal Analysis features and would be more for project management, collaborating on projects from your phone.
Let us know what you think? Would focusing on "field" features be a step in the right direction for managing your projects?

Dave Robertson Yes this would be a Godsend to our business. Currently we are considering companycam. Our contractors prefer an app where they can take pictures directly from within the app vs having to upload from their gallery.

Although we would certainly love to provide native mobile apps iOS and Android, realistically this is a few years down the road.
The power of a web application is it is built to be mobile responsive so you can open the app on any device including a desktop, laptop, tablet or phone.
In the near term, we will continue to refine the mobile responsiveness of our web application to improve user experience on mobile devices and eventually look at native apps in the distant future.

Dave Robertson: Any closer to this? I spend almost all my time on site. It would be great to have access to my schedules and task items as well as the other features mentions like receipt uploads.
