Mattermark just released their iOS app (not yet available in the App Store -- be sure to visit the site on your iOS device to download). I've enjoyed watching MM grow, having just announced their Series A and pivoting from their previous "zombie startup" (in @daniellemorrill's words), Referly just over a year ago.

@daniellemorrill @rrhoover This was one of my favorite Mixergy interviews where Danielle discusses the process of starting Mattermark. http://mixergy.com/interviews/da...

@daniellemorrill @erictwillis since we're sharing video interviews, here's her talk with @Jason on This Week in Startups from 2 months ago: http://thisweekinstartups.com/ma...

As Danielle said we wanted to be very intentional about the way we designed and released the app. It's a really exciting opportunity for us to craft the experience from scratch and tailor it to the on-the-go lifestyle many of us AND our customers have. We're iterating on new things faster than you know so make sure you stay tuned. I also wouldn't be surprised if lessons learned from mobile impact our web product in a really positive way too ; ) Email mobile@mattermark.com with feedback and requests please!

@aeisenberger @daneillemorrill there's a LOT of functionality on mattermark.com. How did you decide what to pull into the mobile app and do you see it as a replacement for the web experience or a companion app? Honestly, we've had some similar discussions with the Product Hunt iOS app. As our feature set grows, we debate how much of the "creation-based" functionality we want to include in the mobile experience.

@daneillemorrill @rrhoover Since mobile represents such a different paradigm than the explicit filtering and searching we allow on the web app, we looked for a way to distill all of it down to a core that would make sense to start on mobile. We landed on search and, to start, company lookup. We can get our users 'trained up' and used to that then find ways to build upon that behavior to add more value that may or may not tie in directly to the web experience as it stands now (I think it will be a bit of both as time goes on). ALL That being said i'm not quite sure we know yet whether its a replacement, companion, or a little bit of both - an thats totally ok. What I think about a lot it that the motivations vary for certain behaviors between desktop and mobile. I may share a list on my phone for a different reason than I would on my computer and THAT difference is going to drive our decision making.

@daneillemorrill @aeisenberger that use case reminds me of Refresh, one of my favorite CRM-related apps.

Congrats on the launch to you and the team @daniellemorrill ! Had recently purchased your Traction Report, curious to know member products support that will be available in the app?
JD Carluccio
@daniellemorrill @raj_ventures I purchased the report too. It would be interesting if it comes for free with the app. Maybe it will create a bunch more of downloads ;)

This is great news! Thanks @rrhoover! I've been using Mattermark for a few weeks now and have been incredibly impressed and happy with the site, the data, and the value it adds to my day. Can't wait to have the app!

Since we released the app, we've added news stories, and website views to the app. Even more coming very soon

Doesn't over-the-air loading of this public app violate Apple's policy? I thought over-the-air loading was only to be used in private Enterprise Deployment apps.
