FollowUp for iPhone

Everyone lives a busy life, filled with tasks to be completed each day. One of the common types of tasks though, is to call someone back over the phone. But what if you have a lot of calls to make, and need some help with keeping track of who to call and what you’re calling for? Say hello to FollowUp, the app that keeps track of all your contacts and conversations.

The purpose of the app is to help you keep organized with conversations that you must follow-up on in the near future. Great for businessmen, salespeople, or just anyone that needs to make important calls back to someone.

When the app is first opened, you will be presented with a button to add a new contact to the FollowUp list, and then once a contact is added, you can begin to add ‘conversations’ which is simply a subject (summarize what you need to talk about) and add a note (which describes a bit more in detail of what you need to talk about), and a date to follow-up on that particular conversation.

When you’ve added a few contacts and conversations, the main screen will show all the added contacts via alphabetical order, and below that it will show how many conversations you’ve had with them, enabling you to keep track of everything that has been passed between you and that one person. If you put any due dates for followups on conversations, they will appear in the very noticeable category named “Past Due” with the red exclamation mark that does its job of catching your attention.

This app is a great way to keep organized if a lot of your todo’s involve making calls to people. It’s a great todo app itself, if you’re just going to make phone calls. But it’s a pretty good companion to other GTD apps such as Appigo’s Todo or Cultured Code’s Things. I would highly recommend this app if you want something to help you get organized with phone calls.
