Quick Access Anywhere

Pros

I really appreciate how simple it is to find contacts when I need them. Placing job orders feels easy and doesn't require much effort. What I particularly like is being able to attach notes directly to each person I speak with, it makes tracking conversations so much easier and keeps everything organized.

Cons

The job jacket layout could be better, having the checks and notifications come after the download section would make more sense. Right now I have to jump around instead of working from top to bottom in a logical flow.

Convenient Ad Campaign Tracking

Pros

One of the things I appreciate most is being able to log into Magazine Manager and instantly see which ads will appear in our magazine. Beyond just viewing the ads, I can access detailed information like ad dimensions, page placement, specific page numbers and more. Though our company utilizes this software for various functions, I primarily rely on it for tracking Ad Run Sheets.

Cons

I wish I could edit the run sheet directly in the app instead of having to export everything to Excel first. It's also frustrating that I get logged out constantly, this isn't exactly Fort Knox level security we're dealing with here. Besides those issues, there really isn't much else I'd complain about.
