How does the Vome iOS app work?
Overview
The Vome iOS app puts your schedule and your notifications on your phone. It is the same account you use on the web, so nothing needs to be set up or synced separately, you sign in and everything is there.
The app is free and works on every Vome plan. There is nothing to enable in your account settings.
Why use it
Push notifications in real time. This is the main reason to install it. The browser cannot tap you on the shoulder when something needs attention, the app can.
Your schedule, on the go. People can check what they are booked for without opening a laptop.
It closes the gap for on-site work. Coordinators running an event on the floor stay in touch with what is happening in Vome.
For administrators specifically, push notifications cover things like new form submissions and new applications to opportunities. See Why should administrators download the Vome app? for the full picture.
Who it is for
Both audiences. Administrators use it to stay on top of activity without sitting at a desk. The people you work with use it to see what they have coming up and to be reminded of it.
How to install it
Open the App Store on your iPhone or iPad.
Search for Vome Volunteer, or go straight to https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/vome-volunteer/id1490871417
Install the app and open it.
Sign in with the same email address and password you use on the Vome website.
When iOS asks whether to allow notifications, choose Allow.
You can also reach the App Store listing from inside Vome: go to Integrations & Apps and click the Vome iOS app card.
You can also get it on Android
The Android build is the same app on the other platform. See How does the Vome Android app work?
Summary
Free, on every plan, nothing to enable in your account.
Install from the App Store and sign in with your existing Vome credentials.
Allow notifications when iOS asks, that is the feature that makes the app worth having.
Useful to administrators and to the people you work with, for different reasons.
