We use a web app called Basecamp to run all our projects in Gospelware. It is the best of its kind around and is used by thousands of companies all over the world. It allows us to keep on track of all of our tasks, host our project files, encourages collaboration and keeps our clients up to date with a project’s progression.

When 37Signals updated Basecamp earlier this year, they also changed the API they made available to 3rd party developers. This meant that all of the apps written for old API would not work with the new Basecamp Next.

 

 

We created Rappel. A native iPhone app with a beautiful, speedy and intuitive mobile-friendly interface gives users access to important Basecamp features with no headaches and only a few taps.

 

Users can create multiple projects and multiple projects, allowing you to manage all your projects clearly, build and complete to-do lists on the go, as well as delegate tasks to team members, set target dates and keep track of the progress of everyone in the team.

 

Compose new messages and view discussions in a few taps. Rappel also allows users to upload image attachments within the app, as well as view print and share project files Rappel is built using the new Basecamp Next API, giving users an app that’s designed to support Basecamp’s most up-to-date features.

 

 

Rappel has received high acclaim from 37Signals staff, including co-founder Jason Fried, who tweeted a link to the app on release day.

 

37Signals have also recommended it when anyone who has enquired about an official Basecamp app. This has translated into promising download numbers and positive reviews and endorsements from the community.

 

We will continue to develop Rappel as user requests arrive and the Basecamp Next API develops.
