oDesk. There’s an App for That!
Last week, we listed out some of the most useful iPhone apps for business use. We intentionally left one off that list, so we could share it with you in more detail today:
Your oDesk team room is a great place for staying abreast of all the things your teammates are working on, but sometimes you’re not in front of your computer and you’d like to keep up to date with what’s going on back in the virtual office. With the new oDesk iPhone app, now there’s an app for that.
The oDesk iPhone app gives you literal visibility of your online workteam no matter where you are:
- See all providers in your team room grouped by current work status – Working Now, Worked in the Last 24 Hours, Other
- View each team member’s latest work memo, local time, 24-hour work sparkline, and latest snapshot
- Check complete work diaries including memos, full-size snapshots, activity indicator, billing status, timestamp, and active window for any date
The app is designed for both buyers and providers.
Watch Brain Goler, oDesk’s VP of Marketing, give a quick demo of the app in action:
Ready to download? If you have an iPhone (or iPod Touch), follow this link to install the app. Or, search the App Store for “oDesk” to find it.
If you have any suggestions, we’d love to hear them at iphone-app@odesk.com, or in the comments section below. And, if you like what you see, please rate the oDesk iPhone Application it in the App Store!

When will you launch an app for BlackBerry?
Any plan for an Android app? I’d love to use this to manage my team.
Android please!
The iPhone is the first App that we’re releasing, and we would like to add Apps for other mobile platforms.
To help promote development of such Apps, or a specific functionality, you may want to share your ideas on the oDesk feedback forum: http://feedback.odesk.com/pages/26681-general
Blackberry please!
Please have this for the blackberry!
What about Nokia N95 8GB or N-series apps? This is the preferred mobile phone by Reuters for thier mobile journalists.
Then again, you could look at an app that will be for any Smartphone that uses Windows???
Great app – thanks guys!
(Who cares about Blackberry? Get an iPhone! Blackberry is a tech evolution dead-end.)
so does this mean that providers can now work using their iphones?
Will providers be able to log time? That would be great as well.
Hi,
Thats great. But more and more are starting to use Android. And an app like this for my HTC Hero would be a big relief.
Any plans on when we can expect an Android version?
Thanks so much

Dear sir/madam,
are you fine ? I am fine also. I want to freelancer out sourcing work. Please help me and show me write way. all the best.
This is a great little app, thank you.
One suggestion though: could you move the sign out button! It’s so easy to accidentally click on it when clicking “back” from teams.
i am ready…
ALL TIME OK
ALL IS WELL
I M OK
ALL IS OK
OK
I installed it but when trying to run it, after login, it says loading and even waiting for a long time, there is nothing happening.
Is it bug or I’m doing something wrong?
Where I should check my mail mikhailfrolov@odesk.com with the messages?
Hi There,
I have Window Mobile 6.1 Version, So can i add oDesk in my mobile?
Awaiting for your reply,
Thanks
I like odesk
can I use my Nokia 9500 Communicator in place of IPhone?
The iPhone app is currently only accessible in the App Store. Other options are being developed using the oDesk APIs at developers.odesk.com!
This app DOES NOT WORK. I have tried it on 3 different i-phones, one blackberry. Get’s stuck on “loading” and it has been like that for over ONE YEAR.
FIX IT!
Android App asap, please!
Come on, iPhone’s are for farting around. When are you going to release a droid app for people who use their phones for good.
black berry…hehe
I am an IPAD user hope this app would work on logging my time when I am working using my ipad
great app though
Andriod ASAP!!! please!! lots of andriod users time to look after us not just iphone
I have a Nokia N8 when will there be an app for this type of phone? I hope soon….
Will you be able to work and log time with this application? Or is it just for viewing your team’s work?
Thanks!
The current application does not allow for logging time. We’re working on updates to the app that will add more functionality – we’ll let you know once it’s live!
I’m an Android user and on the move a lot. An Android app would help a lot!! Any plans?? Thanks
Android please. lots and lots more people are using tablet phones with android
How about symbian OS? can you create apps for symbian phones? I really need this app for our team. Thanks Odesk..
I think iphone app is making the world a better place to live.
Its like the whole world is living in one room.
Just wondering if this app is still available.
I’m getting an error message stating that the app is not available in the Australian app store.
Can this be resolved ?
Thank you
Blackberry please! And quick!
Why dont publish the iPhone app worldwide? I can not get it with my norwegian itune account, pl correct this, looking forward so test this out on internal projects..
i can’t seem to make the odesk team work…
I just tried downloading the app on the spanish app store and it’s not there either. Please make this available worldwide as mentioned by Alex.
Thx!
