Our BlackBerry users have spoken! After a much anticipated arrival, the first HotSchedules Blackberry App is now available in the App World.  Much like iSchedule for the iPhone we released the BlackBerry version with employee level access first and will be adding manager functions in the coming weeks.  We look forward to receiving feedback and enhancement ideas from our users so let us hear from you!  If you’re not already following us on Twitter or a member of our Facebook page then you might want to check those out.  It’s a great place to openly communicate about our mobile apps and find out what is coming next.
 
How did we ever get along without mobile apps?  For me, it has become a part of my personal consumer decision making process.  In fact, the proverbial question ‘..do they have an app for that’ has become part of my everyday buying process.  Whether I’m ordering a pizza or looking for a better deal on airfare I love having a robust app in the palm of my hand.  It’s all about convenience and accessibility and for HotSchedules the decision to build easy to use mobile apps for our community of users was a no-brainer.   HotSchedules has always been about saving time and now our members can use those few minutes waiting in line at the grocery store to check their schedule or release a shift.  It just makes sense.  Mobile apps are a perfect complement to our relentless customer service commitment, one system for everyone.  Ten years ago when we introduced a bilingual help desk and automated phone system it was to help all HotSchedules users benefit from our system and today mobile apps are the next generation of access.   We’re excited about the possibilities that mobile apps hold and look forward to releasing many more versions for all mobile platforms.
