ESS Mobile is a smart, adaptive app that, when used with your employer's Attendance on Demand system, provides employees with flexible time tracking options. You have access to the information needed to track your hours worked and review schedules or benefit balances. Notifications can be sent when your time card needs action, such as the addition of a missing punch. Messages can be exchanged with your supervisor to record attendance-related activities like an absence or if you will be late for your shift. Using ESS Mobile hourly employees may be able to punch in and out, request time off, or enter tips. For employees that simply report total hours worked multiple time sheet views are available. Additional operations such as entering mileage, expenses, or tips are also available. Contact your payroll administrator or Attendance on Demand service provider for additional details. Note: ESS Mobile uses location services to obtain your location during app usage. Continued use of the app or background GPS tracking can dramatically decrease battery life.

When does your hunters' liability insurance expire - and where is last season's harvest report? If you had to stop and think about either, GameLease is for you. GameLease is a private record for landowners who lease their land to hunters. Keep every lease - lessee, parcel or area, term, rent recorded, and terms - in one roster, and log the payments you receive and the harvest reports your lessees turn in, season after season. Track each lease's insurance-certificate (COI) and renewal dates, get reminders before they lapse, and generate a lease-income summary for your accountant. All on your iPhone. WHAT GAMELEASE KEEPS - Every lease in one roster: lessee, parcel or area, term, recorded rent, terms, and gate code - Payments you received and harvest reports your lessees turned in, season over season - Insurance-certificate (COI) and renewal dates, with reminders before they lapse - A 50-state recreational-use liability statute reference, plus season and harvest-report deadlines - A per-lessee report card and a Schedule E lease-income summary PDF for your accountant WHY GAMELEASE You lease 200 acres to three hunting parties. Whose certificate expires first? Where is last season's harvest report? A liability incident or a tax question is the wrong moment to dig through paper. GameLease keeps it straight - pull up a lease, a certificate, or a season's income in seconds. FREE - 1 lease, with its full record: recorded payments, harvest reports, COI and renewal dates, gate code, and terms - A single reminder 30 days before that lease's COI expires, plus add-to-Calendar PRO - 34.99 USD, a one-time purchase (not a subscription) - Unlimited leases - each with its own season timeline of recorded payments, harvest reports, COI and renewal dates, and gate code. - Full reminder schedule - 90/60/30-day and day-of reminders for every COI expiration and lease renewal, on every lease. - Per-lessee report card and a lease-income summary PDF (Schedule E) for your accountant. - 50-state recreational-use liability statute reference (landowner liability) plus season and harvest-report deadlines - general reference, not legal advice. - Home Screen widgets for the next COI expiration or lease renewal countdown. Buy once and keep Pro for as long as you lease your land. No auto-renewal, nothing to cancel. WHAT GAMELEASE IS NOT - PLEASE READ - Not a marketplace. It does not list, find, or broker leases - it is for leases you already have. - Not a payment processor. The rent figures are your own records; GameLease never handles, holds, or moves money and has no escrow. - Not a background-check service. It does not screen, verify, or run a check on any hunter. - Not legal or tax advice. Recreational-use statutes are general reference - consult an attorney for liability questions and a CPA for taxes, including Schedule E. - No maps. A parcel is plain text you type; the app uses no location or mapping. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your records live on your iPhone. There is no account to create and nothing is uploaded to a server. Face ID lock is available in Settings. GameLease is designed exclusively for iPhone. PURCHASE GameLease Pro is a one-time purchase of 34.99 USD, charged once to your Apple ID. It is not a subscription - there is no auto-renewal and nothing to cancel. Restore it on a new device any time from the upgrade screen. IMPORTANT DATA NOTICE GameLease stores all data locally on your iPhone. Beyond PDF generation, there is no built-in export, import, or backup. Your data is included in iOS Backups (iCloud Backup or Finder) when enabled. If you delete GameLease without an iOS Backup, your data is permanently lost.
