Ask HN: Launched the MVP for my new Android app. Any feedback?

[Lyote]

I recently released an Android app to track and manage sales lists for small businesses. It will track your call queue, log previous calls and notes, and will allow you to report on past performance.

It's a basic MVP right now. I'm working on a few requested features and getting a presence on the web so customers can find me. Since my user base is small, I'd appreciate any feedback I can get for design, features or marketing.

Thank you!

Congrats on shipping!

A couple thoughts:

* It looks very iOS'y. I'd be much more aggressive about embracing a 'native' Android look and feel.

* CRM integration is a must, but it's hard to say which ones are most important. I'd put the equivalent of a SaaS MVP landing page into the app that shows the logos for the top 5 (or whatever) CRM systems and records which ones users click on.

Thanks for the feedback. For the CRM integration, do you think that is needed? My original thought was this could be used by small, one person sales "teams" to keep all of their contacts directly on their phone, rather than needing a data connection to pull from.

That said, I'll look into some of the more popular CRMs and look at integrating them. Thanks again.

You know better than I do :)

Ha, I don't know about that. I'll try to do some more research and see if there are enough users for my original model. Either way, thanks for the feedback.

First and foremost, congrats on shipping - that's the hard part. As per the product, the UI looks pretty good for a MVP - I would probably polish it up a bit.

[Lyote]

Thanks, shipping did feel good but I still have work in front of me. I'll take a second pass on the UI and see what I can polish up. I have a few notes already I'm hoping to get rolled out in the next week or so.

Looks nice, it should integrate with CRM's

Thanks for the feedback. Like I mentioned above, my original thought was to have this as a stand alone app. Still, I'll take a look at some of the larger CRMs and see what it will take to integrate them.
