See what Pro adds

Home

Nothing slips.

Every open loop across every store. Overdue first, with owners, due dates and reminders.

Calendar

Make room for the next visit.

Plan store visits and 1:1s. See what is coming before the day gets away.

Area

Every store. Every manager.

Keep store details, people and open loops together. A manager’s history follows them when they move.

Reports

Walk in prepared.

Daily recap and Week in review PDFs are free. Pro adds store reports, person records and meeting handouts.

Voice capture

Quick voice capture on the line during the rush, or an in-depth dialogue while driving.

On-device AI cleans up your input, formats it, and adds tags. Dictation requires Android 12 or newer with a ready on-device recognizer and language pack. There is no online speech fallback; typing always works.

Follow-ups come back as suggested loops. You choose what to keep.

The details that make the difference.

People

The record stays with the person.

Notes, loops and 1:1s stay together, even when a manager changes stores.

Store files

The whole story, one store.

Scores, visits, notes and 1:1s on one timeline. Call the store from the top.

Report preview

Here is the note, dated.

Review a factual PDF before sharing. Store and person reports include only their own records.

Free for the store you run.
Pro for the area you run.

Free gives you the core toolkit for one store, with no time limit. Pro is one purchase that opens it up to every store you are responsible for.

One purchase, yours for good

Area8 Pro

$29.99one time
No subscription

Bought once on your Google account, unlocked on every phone you sign into, and never asked for again.

Run the whole area

Unlimited stores. Add every location you cover, archive the ones you hand off.

Unlimited walk checklists. One per brand, per daypart, per audit season, whatever you run.

Walk into any conversation prepared

Store reports: one dated PDF per store, only that store’s items, ready to hand to a GM or a VP.

Person records: a manager’s full history in one document. The thing you wish you had in every HR conversation.

Manager meetings: type the agenda. AI on the phone tidies it into bullets, with a matching handout PDF saved to the meeting record.

1:1 talking points drawn from that person’s own notes and loops, ready before you sit down.

Written catch-up summaries on a person, a store, or your week. Generated on the phone, nothing uploaded.

Make it yours

Seven more accents, and the app icon changes with it. Reports printed in your colour, or following whatever accent the app is wearing.

New backup files are not encrypted. Keep them in a private location; older password-protected backups can still be restored. Purchases are handled by Google Play. Area8 never sees your payment details, and everything you already recorded stays readable either way.

Free tracks one store. Pro is for the day you get the second one.

Follow-ups that follow through.
