iPhone, iPad and Android
Installing the apps, signing in, and the things a phone does better than a browser.
2 min read
ELVOAQ has native apps for iPhone and iPad and for Android. They are the same account and the same data as the web app — anything you add on one appears on the others.
Installing
- 1Search for ELVOAQ in the App Store or on Google Play, or follow the download links on elvoaq.com.
- 2Install and open the app.
- 3Sign in with your email address and password, or with Google or Apple.
- 4Enter your two-factor code if you have 2FA switched on.
What the phone does better
- The camera
- Photographing an item straight into its record, with no transfer from a camera roll in between. This alone is why most cataloguing happens on a phone.
- Barcode scanning
- The camera reads a code and looks the product up.
- Voice memos
- A spoken note is quicker than typing while your hands are full.
- Push notifications
- Offers, comments and reminders reach you without the app being open.
- Being there
- You catalogue where the objects are — the attic, the warehouse, the auction — not back at a desk.
Language and appearance
The apps carry their own language picker with the same four languages, and their own light/dark/system setting. Changing the language in the app also lines up the strings the operating system draws, so nothing is left in the wrong language.
Push notifications
- 1Allow notifications when the app asks on first launch. If you refused, allow ELVOAQ notifications in the phone's own settings — the app links straight to the right screen.
- 2Choose which topics reach you in Settings → Notifications, the same list as on the web.
- 3Set quiet hours if you would rather not be woken.
The documentation on mobile
This guide is not bundled inside the apps — it is long, searchable and updated far more often than an app release ships, so a bundled copy would be stale. Settings → Documentation opens it in your browser, already in the language you are using the app in.
Offline
The apps keep a local cache, so what you have already looked at stays readable when the signal does not. Changes need a connection to reach your account.
Note
A handful of specialised screens exist only on the web — the deeper accounting reports and the platform administration tools among them. Everything you do day to day is on all three.
