There are many apps out there that aim to improve group projects and collaboration, it is a much needed service in academia and business. But still no single app had nailed this whole process, this is the reason why daily millions of texts and emails are sent to swap documents, or to set up conference calls.
Moxtra is a new app that tackles this problem through a service it calls power messaging. Power messaging is combination of sharing documents within a group, audio and text chats that all contribute to enhance collaboration in projects. For example a study group can use Moxtra to prepare a report or take lessons from a tutor, a sales team can use it to collaborate on presentations, and a group of friends can use it to plan an event or a trip. Any user can add audio and text comments, they can make mini presentations to show why and how they have annotated documents.
Moxtra is an app from a company of the same name and it is available free on both Android and iOS, it can also be accessed from the browser. One great thing about the app is that people can participate in a chat from any mix of devices. For added security the service is strongly encrypted.
This product is old but previously it revolved around “binders” which were collections of documents. But now this app has been innovated to include chat features that greatly help in group collaboration.
Right now, Moxtra has not imposed any limits to the amount of stuff you store in “binders”, or how long you conduct meet sessions, or how many participants you include. But eventually Moxtra plans to impose limits on will start charging premiums from user that exceed the limits. It also plans to add paid new features.
