Several suggestions
1. It would be great if the app doesn't log out automatically, or at least that it doesn't require a password with more security than a bank app, which is impossible to remember. Or, if not, at least add a password hint box (like the one in Windows) to remind you what your pass was.
2. Include indirect references, which are not necessarily direct business, such as when you present two people who can collaborate or suggest to a member the contact of someone they are looking for (not as a client).
3. To register a new reference, it should ask only for email OR phone, not both, because many times we do not have both and we are unable to do so.
3. When you fill in a reference taking the contact from the telephone directory, it would be useful if the app allows you to modify the name. Right now, if you click on the contact's name to change it (while choosing the fields you want to import), there is an error and it takes you to edit your own profile.
4. Separate tabs to enter references and history. Right now it is very confusing, because if you want to review, for example, the provided references, there is no "history" button in the main menu, you have to go to Cards, and there you get mixed all the references history, 1 a 1, etc. And if you mistakenly click the References button (thinking that it is to filter the history just for that concept), instead it takes you to fill in the form for a new reference.
5. To be able to introduce suggestions directly from the app. Right now it redirects to the web.

To the best of my knowledge and experience (I am a member using the app also) the app will remain logged in unless you forcefully log out by choosing More>LogOut or occasionally there may be a big update on our servers that forces the session to end, though that is very infrequently. But if you are just switching between apps or even closing and opening the app it should remember your session.

Thank you for the suggestion - this one is more of a "policy" and culture related change. If this is something adopted throughout BNI , BNI Connect and the app will be changed to support this.
3. To register a new reference, it should ask only for email OR phone, not both, because many times we do not have both and we are unable to do so.
At this time, only the phone number is mandatory as this was how it was originally done on the paper slips. We will take this note back in consideration and see if it could be incorporated in the future!
3. When you fill in a reference taking the contact from the telephone directory, it would be useful if the app allows you to modify the name. Right now, if you click on the contact's name to change it (while choosing the fields you want to import), there is an error and it takes you to edit your own profile.
Once the data has been pulled over to the BNI Connect slip, you are able to edit it within the referral form. However, the ability to update the contact itself in your address book is not something that is possible at this time.
4. Separate tabs to enter references and history. Right now it is very confusing, because if you want to review, for example, the provided references, there is no "history" button in the main menu, you have to go to Cards, and there you get mixed all the references history, 1 a 1, etc. And if you mistakenly click the References button (thinking that it is to filter the history just for that concept), instead it takes you to fill in the form for a new reference.
Thank you - the ability to sort\filter the slips on the feed is something on our list and we have added this as another VOTE for that functionality :- )

Thank you for your feedback, we will take this into consideration for the future!

Thanks for the answer, Mr. Walsh. Just a clarification with the point 3: I'm not talking about the app being able to change the address book of my phone, but editing the contact once imported. Just when you select a contact, a window appears with his contact info and data to select and import, and then a "Continue" button which import the information. Once imported, the info can perfectly be edited, but it was on the previous window where is not possible to edite the name, and if you try (by clicking on the name) you are redirected to your own profile (which I think it's probably a internal error).
Also, I would like to take the opportunity to suggest one more thing: the invite function continues being a little confusing, not being clear the difference between "Add guest" or "Bring guest", in the same way that happens on the webpage with "Add guest" or "Register possible guest". In our case, after several confussions, the leader team explained us what function to use, but new members still make this mistake. It would be useful to use a clearer terminology to avoid it... or, in the case of one of these functions is only for the use of the leader team, making it not available for normal members.
¡Thank you very much!
