Voluum Mobile Apps
Voluum Android App

I'm proud to announce that our Android app is now live and available from the Google Play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...oluum.overview You can test it out quickly by logging in as a guest.
The App is read-only allowing you to quickly check your stats on the fly - we've added device authentication for ease of access and you can manage your trusted devices under settings/devices in the Voluum panel.
We now have 2 Android devs and 2 iOS devs and they will be working on the apps full time. The iOS app will be coming out soon as well. I'd like this thread to be the place where we gather feedback from you guys.
One of the next steps will be implementing push notifications so that you're notified when a campaign may require your attention (losing money, no conversions for x time etc.)

Hey Robert,
This is great. I just tested this on a Samsung S2. Quick feedback:
- There was no "blinking cursor" in the "Account e-mail" box. The keyboard popped up, but I wasn't sure if it was ready until I started typing anyways. Minor usability issue. Although later I noticed that the field highlights itself when you click on it.
- Lack of refresh for individual campaigns. Of course, this being the first version, I believe that's something in the pipeline.
- Loved the speed of the application. Refreshes like a breeze. Nice colors on the menu.
Arun.

Thanks Arun!
We're trying to replicate the first error, we do heavy testing on multiple devices, both virtually and we have 6 Android phones as well - but I guess these things slip thru. Could you possibly take a screenshot? Also if you could let me know what OS version you have?
As for #2 that's been added to the pipeline!
Cheers,
Rob

Robert,
I am not sure if this is going to help, here is the screenshot anyways: http://prntscr.com/7c98l4 . Normally a blinking cursor appears there, but I couldn't find any on the app. (Checked on Gmail app just to be sure and they had the cursor). Its Android 4.2.2.
Also, I just noticed that the "Range Selection" for the campaigns resets tp "Last 7 days" every time I close the app. (Set the range to "Today" and close the app. Open it again and it resets.)
Arun.

Thanks for the additional info - forwarded to our devs.
As for the time range resetting, this is something I already raised with them and that'll be done in the next version. Cheers!

STM is the only place where I've announced the app so far, so you can feel exclusive with the 5 downloads
Down the road, I wouldn't be surprised if users start using the apps more than actually logging into the panel! Especially with push notifications.

Looking good. Maybe hide campaigns which aren't getting traffic? Or make these campaigns faded slightly? Or at least make any campaign with $0.00 profit NOT have a green coloured box?
** And also show EPV on campaign page. Pops people find it handy, I do anyway.
Maybe have in smaller text the previous days ctr (and other metrics?) so you can see fluctuations
Just thinking out loud

You can do this already with the filter in the bottom right - just select "Campaigns that were: With traffic"

We'll change the $0 profit to just grey. EPV we can add too.

What exactly do you mean by this, not sure I understand. Thanks a lot for the feedback!

Voluum is really the gold standard these days. I know other trackers are doing great things as well and have upcoming mobile apps. Congratulations Robert. Love the innovation in this space. Btw P202 started this stuff in the wild so reps to them.

Thanks for letting me know, this could be a timezone bug or something.. We have a long weekend now, so I'll have our guys check this first thing Monday.

Google Play takes a while to update the # of downloads
Currently there is no way to update timezone in the app - it uses the default timezone from your account. I will add this as a feature request.
Cheers!

Version 1.0.4
Version 1.0.4
We've just released a new version of our Android app fixing a bug that caused the app to ignore time zone settings for some users. Coming up are campaign charts, campaign search, and an option to refresh individual campaign stats.
The iOS app is going up on the App Store today, it should be approved and available for download by next week.
We now have over 500 installs! Looks like the app may one day replace the panel

How true! For us age 30+, this is hard to believe, but a few companies have already removed their website and go app only ....

Just downloaded the iOS app and works very smooth and clean for a 1st version.
One usability suggestion:
When user is in the campaign screen and taps a campaign to open the campaign details, then allow user to return to previous screen just by tapping anywhere on the screen (or if you have future plans to add drilldown, then use the 'REV/COST/ROI/Profit' box to return, instead of the full screen).
This would prevent having to reach for the arrow in the top left corner and would allow for quick one thumb toggling between campaign details (for people with small hands and/or larger screens).

Version 1.1.2
Android Version 1.1.2
A couple of days ago we released an exciting update for the Voluum Android app.
What's New:
- We've added charts on the campaign level, you can also refresh within the campaign view.
- We've added search functionality so that you can find your campaigns with greater ease.
- You can now see billing and plan information (how many events you've used) by clicking on your account in the drop down menu.
We're now working on widgets, so that you can have your stats shown on your home/lock screen.

Now that we have our 2nd iOS dev, we'll be catching up to the Android App functionality very soon. Glad you like it!

great app but would be nice to have save password or even like some apps have the option to set a 4 digit pin to access the app
reason is i was out the other day and went to check the app it had logged me out and there's no chance of me remembering my Voluum password

No. If I click the home button on my iPhone to get to my home screen, if have to manually type in my email address and password. I've never had it either keep me logged in or save my user info since I downloaded it.

Hey guys, we're looking into the iOS login issues - it's designed to remember your session until you logout, or remove your device from the panel:

Should be fixed shortly, will keep you updated here. Sorry for the troubles!

Android Version 1.1.3
Android Version 1.1.3 - NEW WIDGET!
This update seriously excites me as it includes something I could only dream of when I was still doing AM...! A widget for my smartphone, with a refresh button! 

What's New:
- Launcher Widget
- Ability to browse using selected time range - makes it easy to compare stats from day to day.
The widget is pretty versatile, you can configure it to show Revenue/Cost/Profit/Visits/Clicks/Conversions for all campaigns or a single campaign. What I'd do is setup a widget on my phones main screen as seen above with Revenue/Cost/Profit and have specific campaign widgets on the next pages for ease of access.
Another nifty thing is that you can jump into the
Voluum app simply by tapping a widget.
Enjoy!

mehdi (Member)
How can we install the widget ?
Another suggestion btw, both revenue amount and cost are in green which is kinda misleading especially when the profit of the day is in the red, it'd be better if they had neutral colours, and only profit can be red or green.

rob_gryn (Member)
@mehdi Same way you typically install a widget on Android, long-hold on an empty space and click Widgets, side scroll over to Voluum and you'll find it there

rob_gryn (Member)
My bad! I jumped the gun last night when I saw the new version pop up on my phone, it was a private Beta that our devs launched, and with me being connected to our Android Developer account my app updated...
It will be public early next week. Apologies!

I forgot to update you guys that the Android Voluum widget is live (has been for a while ..) !
You can add Voluum widgets by long-pressing a blank, available space on your home screen, or any other screen. Scroll thru or search to find the Voluum widget and then tap and hold it to add it to your home screen. This process may look different on various versions of Android.

Once you find a spot to place your widget, let go, and you'll be able to configure it as seen below.

Below we have 2 widgets, one for all campaigns with Today's stats showing visits/clicks/conversions. The second widget is campaign specific, showing revenue/cost/profit - particularly useful when you want to keep an eye on a new campaign that you just launched.

If you select just Revenue, Cost, or Profit you will have a neat widget that will display today's stats - and in gray, yesterday's stats to compare.

You can resize the widgets as you please, and place as many as you like:

Clicking any widget will take you to the Voluum app.
If you guys have any suggestions/feedback do let me know - tomorrow I'm holding a meeting with our Android and iOS devs to determine what we'll be doing next!

Update to App Development Pipeline
1000+ Installs on Android!
Firstly, I'm excited that the Android app has now been downloaded well over 1000 times! This is a clear indicator that the apps are a key element for many of you, as such, we will continue to develop them!
After yesterday's meeting with my app development team we established the following pipeline.
- Notifications - essentially this will be messages that inform you that something may require your attention. For example, a campaign under-performing compared to yesterday, offer or LP down and others.
- News - this will inform you of updates in Voluum as well as any technical issues.
- Drill-down reports - you'll actually be able to dig into your campaign reports using our apps
- Voluum DSP Optimization - We're now in Private Beta with our DSP and we're building functionality that will allow you to one-click optimize your Voluum DSP campaigns using our apps!
- Two-factor authentication, finger print scan is an option

- Feedback module that will allow you to send us your recommendations/suggestions

You're seriously tempting me to switch to Android - which I hate - for the widget function.
