We’re excited to announce the beta release of our new Android app. Let’s cut to the chase and see what’s awaiting the Android users of HandiFox Online.
Fresh, refined UI
The new UI is unclogged, clear, and, for what it’s worth, less orange:) There’s more space to unload your mind, simplify the search, and focus on the tasks ahead.
The new Android app offers a menu tab bar that enables quick access to all the software modules. You can change which module screen (Sales, Purchases, Transfers, or Inventory )shows up first after the login by going to More->Select Main Screen.
To see more information and functions related to items and transactions, tap on an item/transaction, and you will see a popover with all available options.
PIN Authorization
The first login will prompt the user to come up with a PIN as a verification layer for further use. You can change it in settings under More->Security.
Offline mode vs. real-time syncing
The new Android app is designed to work in real time. You can swipe down (pull-to-refresh) once you think it’s important to sync up with the web part and QuickBooks Online quickly. Otherwise, it syncs automatically.
The offline mode is still available with certain limitations: you won’t be able to save Unit of Measure presets and print transactions out.
