When you first start using act for the web it is like driving on the other side of the road. It is a familiar experience but your senses are thrown off slightly.

If you are a long time act user and only have experience with act’s desktop version you will find that using the web-based version is different. Having said that, I think you will find that it is very interesting to work with and has some unique potential. In the past, if an individual act user asked me about putting act on multiple devices it was a financial challenge for many of my clients. Quite often I would suggest GoToMyPC or LogMeIn as an inexpensive alternative for accessing your act database. If you were at a computer that had an Internet connection you could log in to your office computer remotely. This is a great alternative for many people and rather inexpensive.

But what about mobile phones and tablets? The more devices you have the more complicated this becomes. Act’s new subscription service for $35 a month or $350 for the year is an inexpensive way for individual and small business users to connect to act in multiple ways. It is also technically much simpler than having to set up act for web by yourself. Below is a tutorial directly from act on what act for web looks like on a mobile device such as an iPhone or an iPad. As you can see it is different and it takes some time to learn how to use it, but it’s really not that bad.

I urge you to take a look at this new option because I think it can open up a lot of potential for the average typical act user.
