New app

[STEVEUK2010]

Just been informed at work today by a fellow postman that royal mail have launched a new royal mail app

Its called the royal mail people app and is available on iPhone and android devices.

App let's you view payslips online and also annual leave requests

She says she uses it as she can view payslips online on the Wednesday evening

Dont know how long ago app was released but I have now downloaded and registered my log in and all seems good

Was everyone else aware of this as hasnt been publicised much

I think it's not been publicised much because technically it's in the trial stage.Must admit it's not ofter RM gets something right but the app is half decent imo.

I keep getting an authentication required pop up asking for username and password.

It's not my login details though cause that doesn't work.

[Tinoblade]

I've got it too. It's great. Can view my annual leave which is great as I usually lose my sheets all the time

[Manboat]

Just downloaded it and it’s all set up, I’m assuming all paper pay slips will be optional now for people.

Now all we need is the ability to choose our annual leave from the app.

It’s a bug in the app, just come out of everything and make sure it’s closed in the background. Log back in and you’ll be fine.

Still doesn't work.
Even uninstalled it.
Still the same.

Now all we need is the ability to choose our annual leave from the app.

...and to be able to put in for leave (special or normal) and to be able to see what leave slots are available for a given day

Would be nice if they could create a windows version of the app

I hope it isn't the same IT team that is responsible for PDA updates in charge of the software development for this app. Just saying.

Probably tracks y

I would chop off all my fingers before I would download a RM app

[PostmanBitesDog]

Despite the developers of the app stating...

"We are currently piloting this app so please download it and tell us what you think!"

... I don't think I'll bother installing it and giving it a whirl.

Most of the Google Play and Apple's App Store reviews don't make for pleasant reading. And both app distribution platforms have a slew of one star votes for the Royal Mail People App.

I think I'll pass on it until an update is available.
