Whether you’re a fund manager travelling to a capital raising event or an investor attending on-site meetings with potential managers, Backstop Mobile ensures you always stay connected. Designed specifically to meet the needs of fund managers and investors, Backstop Mobile complements the capabilities our clients use every day on the Web App. Backstop Mobile allows you to create and interact with contacts and activities while on the road giving you all the information you need at your fingertips. Completely redesigned home screen "My Activity" A brand-new home awaits you called "My Activity" which shows at a glance any recent or upcoming calls and meetings. View and manage your calls and meetings right when you open up the app so you can see where you are headed and add notes after you've finished a meeting. By surfacing the information that you need while you're on the go, you can spend your time preparing for or following up on key activities. On the My Activity page, you will also find your recently viewed contacts. Was there someone you searched on the Backstop Web App but can't remember their name? The Recently Viewed Display will show any entities you have viewed on the Web App or the Mobile App so that you can pick up where you last left off. A more modern visual interface We have completely redesigned the Mobile App to provide a more seamless experience with the Web App. The UI has been completely refreshed to provide a sleeker, more modern look and feel so you can get the information you need quickly and efficiently. Upgraded Privacy and Access Controls We've made several changes to our Mobile App to better protect your data. Face and Touch ID can be used to log in to the app for effortless log-in. We've also added jailbreak detection to help prevent malicious 3rd party apps from accessing your confidential data.
