Loomi: My First IOS App

At work, they wanted us to keep track of activity.  I started doing the spreadsheet way.  Found it clunky especially trying to enter info on Excel from my iPhone.  I decided to try and find an app.  However everything was complicated and not built specifically for what I wanted.  Enter Loomi.  Don’t know why I named it as such, but there it is.  I found out its a seasoning, so there you go.

What it does:

It is essentially an activity tracker.  It tracks three types of categories: Customers, Partners and Corporate.

UPDATE:  Now, from the New Event screen, you can add a customer or partner and either Save and Use or Use Once.  So if you are assisting another SE or team on a customer call, preso etc. you can enter them once.

Customers:

You can initially upload a CSV (or really a list) of all of your customers.  In my case, I have 31 named accounts.  It will also let you add new ones.  I am going change the behavior when we add a customer but do not want to save it. Sometimes, I may be helping a fellow SE and I will not be working with that customer again.

UPDATE:  Now you can swipe left and delete.

Partners:

Same as Customer but helps me keep track of Customer vs Partner activity.

Corporate:

It will come pre-loaded with the following activities (Dinner, Happy Hour and QBR).  You can of course, delete these and add new ones, or add to the list.

Landing Page:

The Landing Page will give you insight from a Daily, Weekly, Monthly perspective.

Notifications:

You can enable Notifications (Off by default).  If you have not entered any data by a configurable time, do a pop-up Notification.

UPDATE: Now you can add a Manager email and add a Cc email.

iCloud Backup/Sync

Although I only have it for iPhone right now, I may add iPad and maybe macOS, but the practicality of the app is the iPhone for quick entry.

 Reporting

Finally, it will email you (or your manager) your activity in a CSV file.  When you hit send, it will pop-up and ask you what to send.
