The v1 App does NOT support Dark Mode.
Get the ClientTerther App from the Google Play Store. After Installing, you will find an App icon like this one.
This is an App, please do not expect it to have all the power of the desktop version. This App is focused on Contacts, Proposals and Notifications.
The Login screen is the same form as found on the desktop version.
Whenever the App is loading data, you might see this splash screen.
Contact List
The Contact List is the default landing page in the ClientTether Mobile app. Each Contact is shown as its own card with some of the same visual details as shown on the desktop. Contacts are loaded ten (10) at a time. When you scroll to the bottom of the first set of ten name swipe up again to load the next ten Contacts.

Stars in the left margin
Filled Stars: indicates this contact is a main contact.
Unfilled Stars: indicates this contact is attached to some other main contact.

If the contact has an address that can be mapped, an interactive Map Pin will appear with the Contact Card. You can click on that icon to view the address on a Google Map.
Phone Icon
The phone icon is interactive and will initiate the same Click-to-Call process as the desktop application where the system will call the User and ask for confirmation to call.

History Notes
The system auto-logs most everything you do as History Notes. For example, if you sent a text or email, the system will put a date and time stamped copy in History Notes. This save you time by not having to write a History Note that you sent an email.
The History Notes section is where you can review the of communication and automation that has occurred with each Contact.
