Key takeaways
  • The redesigned Gipper iOS app brings AutoBrand, fully customizable templates and designs, and a rebuilt mobile editing experience to iPhone.
  • Designs that include additional elements are now accessible and customizable in the app.
  • Create content on the go, then publish or schedule it for social media and, for Gipper Display users, TV screens.

Athletic content does not wait for desk time

Athletic departments rarely get to choose when a score, a photo, or an important update is ready to share. It happens from the sideline, the bus, the gym, or between events.

That makes mobile access important. But the earlier version of the Gipper mobile app could limit what athletic directors and coaches could finish away from a computer. If a template had additional elements added to it, it might not have been accessible on mobile. Starting from a default template also meant doing more manual editing because AutoBrand was not available in the app.

Those limits could make a phone less useful for a design that needed full access to its elements.

Introducing the new Gipper iOS app

The new Gipper iOS app has been rebuilt from the ground up, purpose-built for the busy AD.

It includes AutoBrand, full template and design customization, a redesigned mobile editing experience, and the ability to publish or schedule content for social media and Gipper Display screens.

Most importantly, it's blazing fast and incredibly easy to use.

 

More of the Gipper workflow, now on your phone

The update is about removing the compromises that can slow down mobile work.

  • Customize templates and designs in the app. Templates and designs are now fully customizable on mobile, including those with additional elements that may not have been accessible in the earlier app.
  • Instantly apply your branding. AutoBrand now applies your official colors and logos to a template in the iOS app, removing a manual branding steps when you begin with a default template.
  • Edit with a mobile-first experience. The rebuilt editor brings Gipper's template-editing experience to iPhone with controls designed for mobile use.
  • Publish when the moment is happening. Create a post from your phone, then publish it to social media or schedule it for later. 
  • Send content to your screens, too. If your department uses Gipper Display, you can publish or schedule content for your TV screens from the iOS app.

What becomes possible on game day

The new app does more than put a smaller version of a design tool in your hand.

It gives athletic departments a more complete way to work from the places their days actually happen. A design can begin with a photo from the event, carry the right colors and logos through AutoBrand, be edited on an iPhone, and move to the channels your community follows.

That matters when timing is part of the message. A final score, a game-day reminder, or a student-athlete highlight does not need to wait until someone is back at a desk to be created and shared.

Built for the way athletic departments communicate

The iOS app is designed to fit into the Gipper workflow athletic departments already use.

Start with a template, apply your brand, make the edits your content needs, and publish or schedule from the same device. For schools using Gipper Display, the mobile workflow can also reach the TV screens that keep students, staff, families, and visitors informed on campus.

The point is simple: when something needs to get shared, you can do it quickly - without waiting to get back to your computer.

What early App Store feedback is saying

The first reviews of the updated app point to the practical difference of being able to create and share content from where the action is happening.

“This app is SO easy to use. Love that I have the ability to quickly create and post graphics right from the sideline!”
