Notices with push
Every resident gets a push and a bell entry when a notice is posted.
Society communication app
A society notice board app that tells you who has actually read the water cut notice
Post a notice and it reaches every resident’s phone with a push. Mark it urgent, pin it to the top, ask residents to acknowledge it, and see who has read it. Bye-laws, contacts and a community feed sit in the same app. Part of SocietyConnect, free for 90 days.
- Push to every flat
- Urgent and pinned
- Acknowledgement count
- Documents library
The water tank cleaning notice went up on the lift door on Monday. On Thursday morning, three flats on the seventh floor were surprised the taps were dry.
A paper notice reaches whoever happens to look at the lift door. A WhatsApp message reaches whoever scrolls back far enough, if they are in the group at all; tenants and senior members often are not. When something goes wrong, the committee has no way to show that residents were told.
In SocietyConnect a notice goes to every resident’s phone as a push notification and stays on the Notices tab until it expires. Urgent notices get a louder alert and a red badge. If the committee asks for acknowledgement, each resident taps to confirm, and the committee sees who has read the notice and who has acknowledged it.
Communication tools
Eight ways the society talks to residents, all in one app
Each one has a job, so the WhatsApp group can go back to being a place for festival wishes.
Urgent and pinned
Urgent notices get a louder alert and red badge. Pinned notices stay at the top.
Acknowledgement
Ask residents to confirm they have read it, and see the count and the names.
Expiry date
A notice disappears from residents’ lists after its expiry date, so old news does not pile up.
Documents library
Bye-laws, AGM minutes and NOCs in one place, with committee-only documents kept private.
Important contacts
Society office, electrician, ambulance and utility numbers, one tap to call.
Community feed
Residents post updates with photos, like and comment. The committee can pin or remove posts.
Events and polls
Society events with RSVP, and polls for quick decisions, from the same app.
For residents
The latest notice is on the home screen, under the dues
Residents do not have to go looking. The home screen shows the latest notices with pinned ones marked, right below the society dues card. The Notices tab in the bottom bar lists pinned notices first, then recent ones, each with its category, date and a short preview.
- Pinned and urgent badges on each notice
- Category and date on every card
- "Please acknowledge" prompt where the committee asked for it
- Attachments such as a PDF circular open inside the notice

The society’s papers and phone numbers, where residents can find them
- Committee uploads documents with a title, category and description
- Each document is visible to all members or to the committee only
- Files cannot be opened from a shared link later; each view uses a signed link that expires in 15 minutes
- Residents read PDFs inside the app
- Important contacts grouped by category, with phone, WhatsApp, hours and a note
- Residents tap a contact to call; only the committee can add or change contacts
One app
Notices, documents, contacts and the community feed sit side by side
The All features screen groups everything a resident might need. Under Society sit Notices, Documents and Contacts next to Helpdesk, Amenities, Events, Polls and Meetings. Community opens the feed, where residents post updates and photos, like and comment, sell things to neighbours and run quick polls.
The committee can pin a feed post or remove one that breaks the society’s rules. For buying and selling, local shops and the jobs board, see community and marketplace.
- Feed posts with photo galleries
- Likes and comments on every post
- Committee can pin or remove posts
- Buy and sell posts and quick polls in the feed

Straight answers
What it does not do yet
So you can plan your circulars around them.
- Notices go out by push and in the app only. They are not sent by SMS, email or WhatsApp yet, so residents without the app will not receive them.
- There is no one-to-one chat between neighbours yet, and no separate groups inside the community feed.
- Notices are shown in the language the committee types them in; there is no automatic translation.
- The apps are not on the Play Store or App Store yet. We share the Android apps with your society during setup, and iPhone users use the web portal.
Take your notice board off the lift door
We add your residents, upload your bye-laws and contacts, and show the committee how to post the first notice, free for 90 days.
FAQ
Notices and communication: common questions
What does a society notice board app do?
It sends the committee’s notices to every resident’s phone and keeps them in one list. In SocietyConnect notices can be urgent or pinned, carry attachments, expire on a date and ask residents to acknowledge them.
Can the committee see who has read a notice?
Yes. The committee sees how many residents have read each notice and, where acknowledgement was asked for, who has acknowledged it by name.
Are notices sent by SMS or WhatsApp?
Not yet. Notices go out as push notifications and appear in the app. Residents without the app will not receive them, so keep a printed copy for the lift door for now.
Can some documents be visible only to the committee?
Yes. Each document is set to all members or committee only. Files are opened through a signed link that expires after 15 minutes, so a forwarded link stops working.
Can residents chat with each other?
Residents can post, like and comment in the community feed. There is no private one-to-one chat yet.
Is the notice board free?
It is free for 90 days with every module on, and our team sets it up. After that the society gets a written quote. Nothing is charged automatically.
