Welcome to Piota - Deeper Engagement for iPhone and iPad. Piota - Deeper Engagement, is the most direct way for your school, church, club or other key organisation to provide you with rich, timely and relevant information. You can read it there and then, browse it later, respond if necessary, or simply use it as a reference source when out and about. All straight from your iPhone or iPad, making life simpler. News Important summaries from Blogs, website news, newsletters, Twitter and Facebook are all curated in one place in a format that is bite sized and looks great on your iPhone or iPad. Share the best bits with your network if you wish. Events Calendar Consistently a favourite feature, our event calendar is a lot more accessible than the one pinned to the fridge at home and it is more accurate too as itβs automatically updated. Use filters to narrow down the entries to ones of most interest to you, and you can add priority events to the personal calendar on your iPhone or iPad. Alerts Push notifications or Alerts reach you as quickly as a text but can contain richer content like video, pictures and documents as well as words. Opt-in to whichever groups you most want to hear from to personalise reminders, late bus announcements, forms, accounts of the day, weekly newsletters and much more. You are in control and won\'t be bombarded with everything or feel left out of the loop. Photos and Video Pictures paint a thousand words, photos a million and our support for videos lets you see the school musical, highlights from your club event, or the latest innovation from your organisation. Share these with social media accounts and other services by tapping the Action button in the app on your iPhone or iPad . Key Information Menus, price lists, contact details, timetables, uniform requirements, key dates, whoβs who, packing lists, legal policies, procedures documents, handbooks - not necessarily the reading material of choice but if you do need to refer to some or all from time to time it's best have them handy, easily accessible and all in one place. Forms and surveys No more need for paper or emailed forms which are such a bore to fill out and return. Now you can reply directly on the app in 10 seconds if youβre in a hurry or at more length if not. Snap surveys are shorter and more to the point than online ones and equally easy to fill out and volley back.
