There is a SightMap app for iPhones and iPads. It can be easily installed from the App Store.
In order to make sure that unwanted users can’t view property information, you will first need to register everyone who needs the app. Just go here and you can add yourself and your users so we can get them registered.
The iOS app is intended for property staff and management, not for residents or visitors.
We recommend that you put your map on your website, and if you have a resident portal, that can also be a good place to embed it. Then your residents can access it online.
Not yet. Sign up for the SightMap newsletter and you’ll be the first one to hear when it’s launched. In the meantime, you can place SightMap on your website and it will look great on any mobile device.
