Hello everyone,

so I've downloaded the new app and have been testing intensively

What I have noticed is the very faulty quoting system. I cannot acces my templates, nor can I attach any documents, which makes this whole thing very cumbersome (I need to place a link to my resume instead, which means I had to first upload it somewhere; moreover, it is necessary to write a letter everytime I wish to quote)

Hello everyone,

I cannot acces my templates, nor can I attach any documents, which makes this whole thing very cumbersome (I need to place a link to my resume instead, which means I had to first upload it somewhere; moreover, it is necessary to write a letter everytime I wish to quote). Are you going to change it or is it going to stay this way?

Secondly - there are quotes I shouldn't be able to quote on because I don't meet the criteria. So far so good. But what is the point if I can still see who posted the job? I cannot quote directly via proz, but I see who the poster is and there is no way to stop me from writing them an e-mail

Plus, I get absolutely no push messages.

I am using the Android 6.0.

As you correctly noticed, job quoting templates and file attachment are not available in the app. However, this is part of a list of improvements to be applied in future releases.

Secondly - there are quotes I shouldn't be able to quote on because I don't meet the criteria. So far so good. But what is the point if I can still see who posted the job? I cannot quote directly via proz, but I see who the poster is and there is no way to stop me from writing them an e-mail


Without taking a look at the specific job posting(s), I am afraid I can't confirm there is an issue. If you don't mind, I would appreciate it if you sent job details (including job URL(s)) through the support center using this link and I'll personally take a look: http://www.proz.com/support?mode=ask&sp_sub_mode=ticket_submit

Plus, I get absolutely no push messages.


As explained at http://www.proz.com/faq/177035#177035, for the time being, ProZ.com Mobile only offers the possibility to be notified of new Quick polls (only on Android). However, other specific notifications such as for jobs and KudoZ will be included in future updates. If you are having trouble receiving push notifications for Quick polls though, please let me know and we'll check what the problem may be.

Thanks again!

Kind regards,

Lucia
