New: A faster, better mobile app for event organizers on the go

Event management is one of those jobs where people are never in one place, be it before an event or during it. We built the Zoho Backstage for Organizers mobile app as a companion to the web app so event organizers can stay on top of their event, wherever they may be. Real-time sales data, digital check-in, and on-the-go announcements—these were just some of the features available in the previous version of the app, and we hope they helped you host your events more efficiently.
 
This month, we launched the second version of the Zoho Backstage for Organizers mobile app—for both iOS and Android users—and it comes with quite a few updates and enhancements that we believe will make managing events on-the-go so much easier.  
 


For a start, we’ve completely revamped the user interface to give it a fresher look. There has also been quite a lot of back-end tinkering with the app’s code to optimize performance and ensure a faster, smoother, and more stable user experience. Moving on to the feature updates, here are few to look out for:

Invite your team to Backstage

Sometime back, we released one of our biggest updates for the Zoho Backstage web app that allowed event organizers to create custom roles for their team members. With this update, you can invite staff members to be part of your team on Backstage and assign them roles directly from the app. To invite new members to your team, tap the Invite button in the Teams tab. Once they accept your invitation, they can download and use the app based on the privileges you’ve set for their role on the web app.
 
Give us feedback in-app
 
You can now give us your feedback from within the app itself. So the next time you find a bug or want to suggest a feature, go to Send feedback in your profile settings and let us know.
 
Apart from this, we’ve added quite a few smaller updates like a “Pull to refresh” option to sync data faster, a search bar for the Events tab, and even an option to sort your events.
 
At your desk or on the go, keep a finger on the pulse of your event at all times with the Zoho Backstage for Organizers mobile app.
