Well, at long last here we are with a new mobile app!
This is a new kind of app called a PWA and it works in Android with Google Chrome browser and iOS with Safari.
To install it, go to https://app.dcacompliant.net from Crome in your Android or Safari in your iPhone. You will be needing iOS 14 or better.
Then, once you are at the page for registering, hit the browser menu and click Install To Home Screen. Then it adds the app there like a native app - and it works like a native app too, only faster.
To use it direct with LDMax, check the UseSSL box and check the PostDirect box if you don't need an account with a NY DCA compliant third-party and the app will post directly to your program no prob. Thats right it's free if you don't need a NY DCA third-party provider.
We'll have some video tutorials available soon at https://dcacompliant.net which has now officially launched and is open for business.
What's DCACompliant.net? It is a new NY DCA Complaint Third Party. The main one in NYC now actually has some serious customer service issues that got so bad it became a detriment to the public. I started hearing stories about DCA getting pissed off, subpoenas being ignored, process servers having to hire attorneys just to get their reports and really, I had enough. When I wrote that initially, it was for the good of the industry. It wasnt expensive, it didn't charge for reports and the customer service was fantastic. We're going back 10 years. Now, it sucks and the owner dont like to talk to nobody and I'm sorry I ever sold it.
It was determined by DCA that the public in NYC area needed third parties to ensure the public stopped being damaged by the sewer service that was going on. So, when the third party service that everyone has to use in NYC area gives bad service, doesn't keep their stuff updated for months and doesn't call you back and you have to chase your reports down with lawyers, that becomes a detriment to the public. You know I tell it like it is. That thing got ran down and its slow too.
In that spirit, I teamed up with Jason Tallman at ProcessMaster and we pooled our skills and made DCACompliant.net. Now we have a unified app that not only works with both of our programs directly, it also hooks into DCAComplaint.net which is a truly awesome third party and promises the best stellar responsive customer service, flat pricing, no charge for reports, better technology and... you wouldn't believe the features coming down the road. Turns out Jason and I work crazy well together. I like simplicity and speed, he likes the user experience and design. It's hard to go wrong when you combine those things. Reminds me of Jack Klugman and Tony Randall. Take a guess which one of us is Jack Klugman. :)
There are other scourges of the industry that we will be taking on.
The better you do, the better we do. All of us have the same interests at heart and the same goals here and what you are seeing here is the two main rivals in NY coming together for the love of the industry and taking action, raising the bar, protecting the industry that feeds us all and protecting our customers.
The app will also easily work with other programs too like PST, TriStar, etc.. all they have to do is open their programs up to it and consume the API we will be posting shortly. If one of your servers works for a company that has proprietary software like United, PM Legal, Gotham, etc... Ask them to hit us up, I wrote their initial tie-ins with the other third party and I can tie them into DCACompliant in minutes at very very little charge. It's just an IP address change to their code. The new API is identical to my original API.
