Howdy! I was going through some of my really old threads recently and came across a few hidden gems that I had as ideas back in the day. I’ve decided to clean up a few of them and re-submit a slightly better version as an “official” Idea now that the OVO Forum supports it!
Here’s another of my old gems. but there’s one in particular I really want to track down!
These days, quite a lot of Android and iOS apps are starting to add App Shortcuts and Deep Links that you can access by long-pressing the app icon from your home screen. They can be pretty useful to quickly jump straight into certain core features with fewer steps.
I’ve been thinking recently, and there’s a few that I’d like to suggest to be created, such as:
- Meter Readings - Because this is something the app is VERY handy for!
- Usage - To get to my usage history in one step
- Billing History - mainly for the current period
- Payments - to get to the overview
- Help - just in case
I think you can set more up, but five is probably the most reasonable balance. Ideally these shortcuts would be for things that are most frequently used (mainly the most common tasks), but others can be used as well.
It’s a simple idea that can save a lot of time when used wisely. :)
