Productivity apps abound in the App Store alone, which is why if an app that focuses on the said aspect of business is to stand out, it would have to introduce thoroughly unique and useful features that users would find not only refreshing but very responsive to their needs as well. ActExs does this by introducing its users to a more seamless interface with administrative features that ensure work flow is always smooth and easy to keep up with, regardless of how the size of the team that you’re handling.

It ensures that everything (from websites, documents and presentations to photos, ideas and articles) would be organized and accounted for. You may directly add these media to the app for easier management. It even supports PDF attachments either directly from emails or downloaded from a website.

As for why the app is named as such, it’s actually a portmanteau of action Extracts’, the creation of which is evidently the app’s main feature. With it, anyone within your team would be able to input then analyze and sort ideas using tags in order to give you a better overview of them. This also allows you to complement document packages with photos for better annotation and inclusion of insights. It also makes sure that everyone on the team would be able to keep track of their respective deadlines and scheduled meetings.

Any document that you share can be shared via email as well, and you can choose to include the annotated version or not. It’s also not difficult to assign actions to your team members as they can actually be assigned directly to the in-app calendars.

As for tracking of every action that you assign, you only need to head to the Dashboard to see how each one is progressing. By using the built-in calendar, you would know the ones that were completed on time as well as those that are still pending and need to be done in the coming days. If it happens that a task needs to be done asap or you need to encourage a team member to get it done quickly, know that you can also send reminders to them.

Sessions (where all the training aspect of the app is done) can be created from your dashboard or you can import and existing one. You are allowed to collect and bundle your needed documents before and upload them to a specific training sessions (and you can hand them out to every team member prior to starting as well). Otherwise, you may opt to invite (via email) more participants. The app also supports the inclusion of documents even as you are already proceeding with your sessions, much like in real life.

Training sessions are very innovative, to say the least, as every participant (including the trainer) would be able to share their thoughts thru notes and annotations, scribbles, photos, and other supported media. Self-defined tags serve as the icing on the cake as they basically serve as bookmarks which you can always use as a reference when figuring out what is compatible with a specific idea or strategy or who you should discuss it with among your team.

The highly original execution of the app of its features is what obviously makes it a step ahead of other productivity apps at present. It makes the most of what mobile capability has to offer at present, making it a platform that would truly be able to boost the productivity of your team as soon as you choose to make it your standard team management and interaction app.

With that said, trainers and leaders would certainly benefit more from the app as it practically gives them all the tools they need to make their role and work easier. That’s not to say that the other team members won’t benefit from it, though, as it really does go the limit in helping them finish their tasks on time. It allows them, in short, to focus on what they need to do, without minding how other members are going about with theirs.
