THE INDISPENSABLE COMMUNICATIONS TOOL :

PDA Go Has Your Preferred Topics at Your Fingertips

By Rob Pugliese , Director of Communications
As smartphone users , it is probably very rare that a day goes by without you being flooded by ads or suggestions about yet another app you “ need ” to have to make your life better or easier . Recent mobile industry statistics tell us that the average smartphone owner uses 9-10 apps per day and 30 apps each month ; all that from an average menu of 80 apps on your devices . But while you may have all of those on your devices , everyone has their “ go-tos ” that truly become a fixture in your routine . Most of the others only get opened once in a while .
Because of your membership in organized dentistry , you have the tremendous benefit of using our PDA Go app . With the convenience and features available on PDA Go , it really should be one of those go-to fixtures among the favorites on your tablet or phone . While a sizable number of members began using the app during the COVID-19 pandemic and harrowing times of 2020 , and more have gotten on board since then , not everyone has capitalized on this fantastic tool .
We know all of you have your own preferred forms of electronic communication . Some of you still prefer email ; some social media ; others are all about text messages . One of the unique advantages of PDA Go is the way this app blends elements of all of those . With the news feed , resources folder , member forums , push notifications to your home screen , and events tabs , it is tough to overstate how valuable and necessary this app is for any PDA member .
Now , we ’ re going to go a step further to help you identify the specific content that appeals most to you and show how you can choose what content to view when your time is short , or bookmark an item to read later .
