F1Touch :: Fellowship One On The Go

Fellowship Technologies is getting ready to introduce their new iPhone application: F1Touch. The inaugural version of F1Touch uses the power of the Fellowship One API to deliver people information on the go. As a first-party application, F1Touch will be fully supported by Fellowship Technologies and will be made available to Fellowship One customers through Apple’s App Store.

Let’s walk through some of the features available in this freshman release of F1Touch:

1. People Search
Fellowship One is all about people, so it’s no surprise that F1Touch is built around a powerful people search. F1Touch leverages the API search methods to provide the same name-based search capabilities available in Fellowship One. F1Touch users can search for any combination of first, “goes by”, and last name. Also available are partial-name searches and “contains” searches using search terms {within braces}. F1Touch quickly delivers the initial 20 individuals and can ping the server for additional results. Along with the individual’s name, F1Touch shows individual pictures, grabbing them asynchronously to create a smooth and rapid searching experience.

2. Recent Searches
F1Touch will remember the last ten searches performed. Users can quickly get to the details for the people they looked up recently without having to search all over again. They can clear the list to start with a clean slate.

  3.  Individual Details
  F1Touch offers a complete view of any person in the user’s Fellowship One database. Using the touch screen of the iPhone, users can easily get to individual details such as phone numbers, email addresses, home address, pictures and other information captured in Fellowship One.

  At the bottom of the individual view, users can jump to a list of household members, including friends or extended family visitors that may have accompanied them to a service or event at church.

  F1Touch is fully interactive. Touch a person’s phone number to call them. Touch their email address to start an email to them. Touch an address to see the exact location on a Google map. All without leaving F1Touch.

4. My Profile
F1Touch lets the user choose to be remembered the next time they run the application. When enabled, F1Touch will automatically log the user in and conveniently take them to what they were doing when they last exited.
