Check out the new NCSG Mobile app! To celebrate the new year, we're launching the BETA version of our new mobile app just for NCSG members. (In this case, BETA means that we're putting the apps out there with a few needed improvements already in mind. We'll collect feedback and incorporate the changes that make sense before we call it a wrap. Please send feedback directly to me at mheeke@ncsg.org.) The mobile apps were built to be easily accessed from our website and social media (no need to download from the Apple App Store store). The app has the look-and-feel of native apps on iOS (Apple), Android and BlackBerry phones and will work on all of these devices. The apps are integrated with our existing database and website to share data in real-time. For NCSG members, this means access to coupons, installation manuals, Sweeping magazine articles, the Technical Advisory Council phone numbers, the Supplier directory, the member locator, the industry events calendar, codes for member benefits, the NCSG contact info and social media links are all at your fingertips. You must log in to see the password-protected info (using the same info as the regular site). Point your smartphone to http://m.ncsg.org to check out the beta version of the new NCSG mobile app. If you're a CSIA Certified Chimney Sweep, also check out CSIA's mobile app at m.csia.org. NCSG.org has also recently been redesigned to reformat depending on what kind of device you're using. It's called Responsive Web Design and it means that the websites will look good on your smartphone, tablet PC. And remember, please send feedback directly to me at mheeke@ncsg.org. Happy New Year!
