SWARM Mobile Update

swarm-iphone
A new version of SWARM, our mobile box office, is available in Apple’s App Store! If you already have SWARM, we highly recommend you upgrade your device to the latest version, 1.2.

The new version runs faster, performs reliably offline, and is easier to use. Improvements include:

  • Offline Scan Tracking: If your internet network happens to go down while you’re scanning, the app will continue to scan tickets, storing them on the device until you get back online. New in version 1.2 is the ability to view offline scans.
  • Scan Log: Every ticket scanned is now listed by scan time. This makes it easier to see the status of your last scan and gives you a scan-history at a glance.
  • Better Network Stats: Not only will the app tell you if you are online or not, it now displays the network name as well.
  • Latest iOS Support: SWARM 1.2 is compatible with the latest iOS operating systems, so feel free to keep your device updated with the most recent iOS version.
