We know you can only be tied to your desktop or laptop for only so long. So, we've created a way for you to file submissions on the fly -- with our new Seed Mobile application!

As long as you've got an iPhone, Android or BlackBerry, just download the applications on our Seed Mobile landing page and you're in business.

How is Seed Mobile different from Seed.com?
Seed Mobile was developed to augment and be a companion application to Seed.com – allowing you maximum flexibility to file assignments on-the-fly. While it has some features not available on Seed.com, it also serves as a pared-down version – meaning there are a list of features and tasks you will still need to access and manage by logging into Seed.com from your computer.

Read on to find out what's new and what you'll still need to access Seed.com for.

And, if you're in Austin for SXSW this coming week, be sure to check out Saul's post about how you can join our reporting team, in part by using Seed Mobile!
Seed Mobile: What's New
  • Nearby Category: Receive assignments based on your location – bringing new meaning to being in the right place, at the right time. Each time you re-launch the application, it will search for Nearby assignments first. If there are none, it will auto-load the Assignments screen listing all categories.
  • Breaking News Photo-Feature: Whether it's hard news, humorous, or human interest – if you see an image worth capturing, now you can. Just snap, summarize and send.
  • Respective Editing: Claim or start an assignment on your phone and finish it on the web version, or vice versa. (Note: This feature cannot yet support HTML or Rich Text Formatting until right before being submitted. If it is, you will receive a message indicating that the article can only be finished on the last platform that the assignment was worked on.)
  • Interactive Performance Graph: Located on the Performance tab, this graph allows you to interact with various data points to track your performance and PVs by day
  • Single Log-In: Seed Mobile keeps you logged in when you re-launch the application
  • Mobile Memory: When you re-enter the application after sitting idle or using other applications, it will return you to the screen you were last on
  • Multi-Tasking: You can use other applications and your phone while in the Seed Mobile application
