The app is brill!
However why does it not give you a INFORMED notification of your traffic light situation with the twist of being able to warn you that certain points will drop off that month so you may have the opportunity to focus on not losing points. It is so easy to lose track as to when you did your last training or testimonial for example. This is not an excuse, but if members are shown that BNI help and guide them to be the best and by being GREEN on the traffic lights is a clear sign that money is being made then that is a win win.
Can I also ask why the referrals and TFTB disappears after a month? This I find increasingly FRUSTRATING as I use it as a record of what I have given - I see no reason for this to vanish....if the excused is GDPR then surely that info could stay on the app for at least a year?
It would also help to have the "positive contribution" of that month highlighted in a bright colour to distinguish it from the previous weeks input.
As this is very new tech to BNI and fully embracing it by the head honchos will take time, I really hope they see the sheer power of this app and that it has far more potential and is the way forward to the future of BNI.

@jon (and everyone else!)
1) The traffic lights are "on the list" for further consideration. One thing though is that it is not fully implemented throughout the world. Once it becomes standardized globally we will be able to further increase the priority to develop this into the mobile app!
2) The 30 days was considered in order to keep the app more responsive with current data, and not too much of it. That said, we do have suggestions to increase this and it is under consideration. In the meantime, if you log into the full website at www.bniconnect.com the reports on the home page will include your entire lifetime of history.
3) In the very next release we do have coming a "Meeting Summary" page that will have the week's personal and chapter activity in one place.
Hope this helps!

I would fully endorse the comments regarding TYFTCB and referrals, it would be so much more helpful if this info. could be left opn the app.
The Traffic Light info. would also make everyones' lives a lot simple

traffic lights confuse the hell out of most members let alone new members, putting this on the app, with a 'what can i do to get me in the green' prompt would make it a lot easier for members to engage with it. How often do members really go and run reports off the site and study them?
Thanks

Good point John. This would be a significant step forward.

John,
your statements above are right on the point.

Jon - good points, well made.
I think there's a good deal more functionality that could be incorporated into the app.
Maybe a panel of BNI members could act as a research focus group to brainstorm how it could be developed?

yes, a focus group could work very well, or even a in depth feedback form, after all BNI does love its feedback (after every single training session) -- this I would say is far more important and critical in its early development stage to make it work on multi levels.

Definitely agree with the traffic light system being incorporated. It's easy to assume that all members know exactly what they mean and how to work up the ranks.
Also useful or be nice to see who has thanked you for business, the number goes up but I've not a clue where it comes from necessarily.
I wasn't aware the slips disappeared after a month, I just assumed I had a problem with the app. This would be good to keep on the system as it can be useful information when someone is thanking for the business and can't specifically remember who passed the referral on.
A good start with the app however!
