Imap 50 App Reviews

After 30 years of looking through spreadsheets for contact info, pouring over maps on the side of the road, making a call list, running by the seat of pants sometimes, this is a godsend. Enter your notes on the iPad as soon as you finish your sales call, and email it to the office. Incredible. The trip manager portion that finds nearby hotels, coffee shops etc, also such a timesaver. This app is improving all the time. The developer who is very helpful, is committed to the app, and the needs of salespeople. I would highly recommend you download this app, just to experiment with, and see how you like it. It costs less than a map and a stack of 3 x 5 cards!, if you don't like it delete, but I think you will.

We rolled out the iPad to our sales staff early this year. The iMap HD application is great. We are more efficient as a Sales force with this app. Customer service is top notch; the owner even called me. I am looking forward to future revisions. Highly recommended.

If you are in sales and don't have this app it's a mistake. Ability to find prospects or customers, get directions, manage fuel costs and time, keep call notes...it's awesome. Not only is it worth the money, I'd go as far as saying it would be easy to recoup the costs of this app AND the iPad in fuel savings alone...not to mention productivity increase. Support is excellent as well.

Really impressive! As a salesperson, I really find this useful. If you are in sales, this app rules.

I manage a large sales territory and have searched high and low for a mapping product like this! I have tried them all and nothing compares. You can import from contacts or multiple excel spreadsheets. To many great features to list them all. The developer is really fast at answering questions and I would give it 10 stars if I could. Thanks for developing this mapping program for my IOS device, I use it everyday!

The program shut down on me so I went back to the applications page for developer support and within minutes I had the cell phone number of the developer and he was walking me through a fix for the application and it is now running great again. Top notch customer service and so glad I added this program for my IPad. I was also excited about hearing all the new ideas he had for this application as it is already great but he is excited about making it even better with ideas from his own travels and current application users.

I purchased this app 3 days ago and it still won't even load. It just flashes on then off. Stay away from this app as it is a TOTAL waste of money.

I tried several other mapping apps before this one was recommended to me. Organizes info clearly and efficiently with lots of options to customize. Great customer service as well- I had an issue getting my map to load (due to my own error) and the founder emailed me back with a solution within minutes- and continued to support me until everything was up and running! Really impressed with this app.

Great app for sales. I initially had trouble getting my contacts to come in. I contacted the developer and he walked me through it step by step. It was not the fault of the app, it was user error on my part. I simply wasn't letting it run long enough for all the pushpins to populate. Great service from the developer, much appreciated.

Save your money !! Don't get ripped off like I did. No help , doesn't import all your contact address !!

Fantastic app to help you plan you busy meeting day. With the ability to simply upload a csv file with your addresses, this app will plot your course for the day!! A must have for any person in sales.

I have 10 of my Reps using this and will add the next 40 once we purchase more IPads. This program has allowed my people to see twice as many prospects. It works great with exchange and gives our whole company an overview of where our prospects and customers are. Now that my Reps can input time stamped notes they can keep better track of cold calls. I would pay a $100.00 dollars for this. I can't believe this has note been featured under best business sales tools in the Ap store.

This was one of my first apps, it had a profound effect on how happy I was that I bought an iPad. It is a truly elegant app. I love it and use it every day as a salesman that travels over 50,000 miles a year it is indispensable.

This app does do what it says it does. Great for on the road sales reps. Had one issues loading the map file, but Support was there to help and stayed with it until it was resolved. Loading map was due to not having the "Use Location Services" turned on in the I-Pad settings IMap app. All in all great App and support.

If you are an outside sales person, you need this app. You can see all your customers that are in your address book at a glance on a map, plan out your route, and even find places to stay the night or take your customer to lunch the next day. If you're like me and have a large territory that is constantly changing, this app is a must have. Customer service is off the charts too. I email a question to the designer and I received a response in no time. We even talked about how to make the app better and he welcomed any suggestions. Spend the money and buy it now! We'll spend more than this at Starbucks this morning anyway and this is way more beneficial.

It doesn't do what it says it will do. When I try to import a map it just sits there all day saying 0.0% processing. Customer support doesn't respond to emails. Total waste of money.

I was having issues importing my contacts and the developer was very interested in my satisfaction. We had a string of emails until he figured out my problem. I am very satisfied. Tomorrow I will monkey around with some of the other features of the app.

The original IMAP was a great idea, but now that you've added colored pins, spreadsheet capability, etc.... This rocks!

Don't bother with this one. Total waste of money! $10.00!! to load my contacts on LTE and it loads like molasses!! How do I get a refund? By the way use "MapsContacts"! Super fast. Lightening loads. Works awesomely!!

Really enjoyed earlier version and waited somewhat patiently for new version. 5.0 exceeds my hopes. Now with relative mapping of multiple contact lists I can see not only how my contacts relate to me but each other. Great for demonstratives at meetings and trials.

I tried using this app and thought it was pretty cool. I really wished that the app had a few extra features. I wrote to the developer and I was on my way home from appointment and the developer called me and wanted to know what else he could do to improve the App. Simply Amazing! Best Business App that I have used to date.

I'm in sales and have over 1,000 contacts listed. Sure I can see them, but this app doesn't utilize GPS tracking. This is extremely disappointing since I bought this to see who is around me and how I can get there. This app will only show a pin drop of your current location, it will not move as you do. There are some nice features, and until this app can track your position while displaying contacts, this app is useless to me. I purchased another app for 1/5 the cost that not only tracks my position, but also loads the contacts much, much faster.

I really like the app and have used it a lot. However, I forgot how to import Excel list and when you go to developer website, it take you to random p*** site instead. What's up?

Great app for ease of finding clients and even friends - simple but intuitive - I wish I had thought of/ or created it first! A must have for the consummate traveler.

Took hours to load 5380 contacts then crashed! Want my $10 back!!! Do not buy!

You get 2 incredible benefits with this app. First - it accurately takes what you've got in the Contacts iPad native app and maps it out using GPS and the native Google Maps app embedded in its own app. So however you set up your Contacts book -- with groups, for example -- will be shown on the map. Plus, you can choose to just show certain groups on the map, making your targeted prospecting/selling that much easier. Second - you get a developer committed to developing Raving Fans of his customers. I had a challenge getting my contacts into my Contacts app ... I wrote him and he suggested a couple of things. They didn't work & I gave up, but told him thanks. Then he researched more options and recommended another app (which he didn't write) that would convert Excel to the Contacts database, thus allowing me to bring my contacts in and solving my problem. With that now available, I bought iMapHD and it accurately brought over the Contacts into the map itself. So you not only get something incredibly useful, but you get a developer that will listen and help right away. This is a fabulous combination that is sadly too rare today. Thanks Stephen!!

This is a must app. I am in sales and have been looking for an app last this for a while. Great!!!

This app is exactly what I needed to market my business (kitchen designer)! I show my new clients the other projects I have completed in their area. They are amazed when they realize I have worked for their neighbors or see I already have my products in their home from a previous homeowner. When I show the map of every project I've sold and installed over the passed 25 years their jaws drop. It gives me a huge leg up on my competition! This app is easy to use and if you take a screen shot of your map it's ready to e-mail or post on your website. The pictures are worth a thousand referrals.

Great job! Every rep needs this.

I've been using this app for 2 years as a sales rep. I love the excel spreadsheet format for mapping and tracking my customers and prospects. I have well over 1,000 locations mapped. It makes managing my large territory very easy. I could not imagine not having it. It's a must for all sales people. Do not hesitate to purchase.

Overall the App is pretty easy to use. Would like to see a few enhancements though: (1) Interface to Exchange Contacts Groups (2) Ability to assign categories, different colored push pins etc to make something distinguishing about the contacts on the map. (3) add notes and alerts to the routing for each contact.

This is a very useful app and easy to use. Stephen provides excellent service-seriously-He gets back to me within minutes of sending an email. I've never emailed him during normal business hours. When does that ever happen?? Very satisfied.

Travel Management does not work as it should. To add a contact to your itinerary you must already know where it is on the map. Skips a lot and deletes. Good app if you know where you are and where you are going. I'm giving iMap 4 stars. Travel Management 1

I was shocked after reading such wonderful news that this is nothing but google maps with all of one's contacts.... definitely not worth the price. doubt if i will ever use the app...

Not what I thought it was. Good for traveling salesmen.

The mapping portion of this app works fairly well. I purchased the Travel Management module, and I've found it lacking. Adding stops is simple. The resulting map, however, is not particularly useful. First, the names of the contacts do not appear when I select the pushpins; only the addresses appear. This makes it difficult to determine who's at that location, unless I go back and look up the address. Second, the map is of no use to actually navigate. There appears to be no way to start the route and follow it via GPS. I'd give the Travel Management module 1 star, which is disappointing because its description matches my needs exactly. There also is no Help feature in the app, or it's very well hidden.

Great for those sales rep when you want to make the best of the day. Has some great features and GREAT support which is more important these days. Had some questions and Stephen responded with a phone call the same day not just an email. This guys gives what we all want in support. Buy now

iMap was just what I was looking for to help me visually map the accounts in my territory. Easily exported my accounts from Excel to Outllook Contacts, and then imported them to iMap which mapped them. PERFECT for helping me create my call "routes" from my 2011 account list, and saved me a ton of time over expensive software once provided by my company. Will also be great to use on "ride-alongs" to show quickly and easily where we'll be. Like the new distance and direction feature, and the ability to email a list of the accounts - which will again be handy for "ride-alongs." As other reviewers have indicated, I had questions on the app and quickly received a response to my questions and was able to actually speak with the developer by phone. Great stuff - looking forward to more features!

This app is amazing for my line of work. I've uploaded well over 6000 customers in my sales territory (NC/SC). When I did have a question I got a phone call and email back from the developer within minutes, on a SUNDAY! Great customer service. Can't wait for more features to come out...

I love how easy it is to upload my customer contacts into this program. It makes it so easy for me plan my days out so I can efficiently see all of my appointments in a given week. I've not tracked it, but I'm sure it's helped me cut my fuel consumption. I love that I can drop pins on nearby customers so I can drop in on the go too! Wonderful app and can't wait to see what they have in store for us with future updates!

Creating import data was easy. Great tool for business. Hope to see performance improvements on maps with large amounts of data. Exactly what we were looking for.

This app is one of my cornerstone pieces of software I use to operate my daily tasks. I track my progress for nearby accounts. I've used the map for social reinforcement by showing doctors who else nearby is using our products. And when I have extra time I can easily discover if there are nearby prospective accounts I could possibly visit. I've recommended this app to many colleagues who have adapted it into their routine also. I highly recommend using iMap HD.

I just took a position responsible for 8 states. Without this app I would literally be lost. GPS is great, but with iMap you can plan routes with ease. This will definitely save you time that be turned into money. Buy the travel management tool within the app and save even more valuable time.

I've been using this app for a few weeks now and it is really very helpful. My husband is getting used to a new territory and I am able to coordinate his daily travels to customers, client stores, and vendors. I can map out an entire day in a few minutes (the biggest pain is not being able to add groups to Contacts on my iPad... which has nothing to do with this app). There is a must watch tutorial on the main screen - select Help. Tutorial is very well done and helpful. I've emailed a few suggestions that would make life a little easier and iMap more flexible... so, hopefully with a few more bells and whistles this will be a really great app... I was a little surprised after paying $4.99 and then another $4.99 for Travel Management that those bells and whistles weren't already there... but, I'm willing to wait and see what's next. I'll be crazy disappointed if I have to pay for the next version... but, again... I'll give the developers the benefit of the doubt on that. You will need to work with Contacts and iMap a little to see what works for you... for example... I created a Contact Group for each Date so that I can show only those items on a Map. From there I can add those to Travel Management and then select Stores or vendor locations from general Contact Groups. Took a little playing around... but, it works and iMap has been a really good tool for day-to-day use. I'd probably pay $10 for it again... the app is fairly easy to use -- you will have to play around to see what works for you. I'm a gadget geek and love to do that sort of stuff so it wasn't a big deal... Once you get the hang of things it's a really good tool. I do recommend the app but really hope version 5 is available soon!! For the developer... it would be really nice to be able to rename Saved Trips... time stamp is kind of meaningless when you are a month in and save 12 - 15 routes.

Best money I've ever spent. I read the review worst app ever and do not know how the reviewer came to that conclusion . I have used earlier versions, and by far the improvements made to this version are awesome. I manage over 700 customers in both direct sales and distribution customers. I have also found this company to be very serious about customer service and help. This app is going to rock my call efficiency. If your in outside sales or manage a sales team, your going to want this program.

I've been looking for a way to visually organize all my contacts and sales leads on a single map for a long time. IMAP 5.0 is flat out GREAT! Make sure you take time to watch the tutorials and understand the full functionality of this app. You'll never forget a contact, enabling you to make those extra sales calls that'll make you extra $ and put ahead of the rest.

As a sales rep I find this app invaluable in my travels. In fact our entire sales force is now using this app. It imports all my contacts and allows me to see a birds eye view of all my contacts. With the newest update, I can now plan my trips in advance. This was something that used to be time consuming on my PC now I can do in a few clicks on my iPad. I can even see using this on my next vacation!

I purchased this to supplement my travels as a Sales Manager for my company over the entire U.S. I oversee 13 sales reps and this helped me track their territories and pinpoint the dealer locations very well. I had a stumble at first and sent an email to the creator of the app. Within an hour or so I actually received a phone call from him and his suggestion worked perfectly. For the small price I paid for the app this is top notch concern for a customer which is seldom seen anywhere in this day and age. Thoroughly impressed!!! Thank you again. I look forward to seeing the new apps that you were mentioning.

This is a fantastic app! Simple to use and has saved me hours in report documentation. If you are a salesman without this app, download asap...you wont be sorry! I highly recommend this app.
