AvantLink Mobile – A mobile phone application for Android
If you’re an AvantLink user and have an Android mobile phone, well this one’s for you! We recently released a new application, creatively named “AvantLink Mobile” to help you keep in-touch and up-to-date with AvantLink wherever you go.
To install, search for “AvantLink” in the Market app on your Android phone, or just scan the barcode at right with your phone’s camera. (If you don’t already have a barcode scanner installed on your phone, we recommend “ZXing“). Scanning the barcode will cause your phone to automatically download the application from Android’s Market and start the installation process for you.
After installation, look for “AvantLink Mobile” in your menu of applications (you can see our icon in the picture below, second in from the top-left):
When you run the application for the first time you’ll be prompted to log in with the same information that you use to enter AvantLink’s website. After that one-time setup procedure the application will be fully functional and you won’t have to login again.
Once you’ve successfully authenticated as an AvantLink user, you’ll be returned to the “Statistics” tab of the application, where you can review the performance summary highlights for the current day, e.g.:
There’s also an “Applications” tab whose function differs slightly between merchant and affiliate users:
- For merchant users, the “Applications” tab displays any pending affiliate applications to your program. You can accept (activate) or reject (deny) those applications with a touch of a button right from your phone.
- For affiliate users, the “Applications” tab displays any recently launched merchant programs at AvantLink that you’re not already affiliated with. You can apply to those new programs with a single button press from this screen.
If you like what you’ve seen here, be sure to check out the “Account” -> “Notification Center” page from your AvantLink account – we have a slew of other tools there for retrieving information from AvantLink without logging in, including a Firefox add-on that was the inspiration for this application.

P.S. Are you an iPhone user? We’re currently working on a version of the “AvantLink Mobile” app for your platform too – we’ll be in touch!
Fantastic! I was getting tired of checking stats on my mobile browser–this will be much easier. Where we can send feedback/suggestions to?
Nice. Ahh google development… it just works.
Good luck w/ iPhone’s QC process… tip: the application must warn the user if it requires internet access and wifi & 3g isn’t available. It took apple 3.5 weeks to tell me this and then another 5 weeks after patching to tell us we used a different copyright in the app then in the application… patched … still pending…
Matt – you can always send feedback of any kind to our support email, or via our contact page: http://www.avantlink.com/contact.php
Very nice development. WTG, AvantLink Team!
Mark – I’ve heard similar comments about Apple’s support & QC process being a particular challenge with iPhone development. I know just enrolling in their developer program was a bit of a battle, but hopefully we’ll get through all that and come out with a usable app.
