Hi, this is not a game app, but a business / CRM app with a private Twitter like features and geo checkins To help manage remote teams. We're having trouble with getting location services just right and would appreciate a few beta testers... Info at beta.fieldforceapp.com
Thanks,

What if you could use mobile social tools to get real-time updates from your team, check-in at customers and manage relationships across time and place?


Hi, we're looking for a few beta testers who can provide some feedback on our iOS4-based app. We are specifically testing some background update features of the latest iOS, trying to fine-tune our background location based service to balance the convenience with battery life -- no easy task!



Thanks,
FieldForce App Dev Team
