I wasn't sure what the product was. From the homepage I can see above the fold that it's "The human touch of your everyday sales. Inch is here to help you make and live more everyday." from that I'm still not sure what it is. Something for people in sales and some kind of productivity tool?

Scrolling down the page I get to see "Inch plays your tune. Inch completes your current workflow in the most natural, seamless and productive way. It is triggered by the way you work and gives back and asks for information right when you need it.". So generic, that still doesn't tell me what the product is or does.

Further down the page I can see that it links in with CRMs. So maybe some kind of productivity tool that's for sales people and links in with CRMs.

As a user by now I'd have given up as I still don't know what this thing is.

Scolling back to the top I clicked "About" to learn about the product. First I see some pictures of the team, definitely not something that's very important or warrants being the first item in the top level menu. Still nothing on this page tells me what the product is or what it does.

The "How it works" does give me some more info about what the app does. Pretty sure it is for sales people and it's not for me.

I'm not a marketing expert, just trying to give a narrative of how I experienced the site. I think you need some kind of clear message about what your product is and what the USP is so that users can (in the few valuable seconds that you have their attention) find out what you do and why it's so great.

Hmm...so looks like its a better UI for popular CRMs? I can't really tell what the app does :( Also, consider getting the text on all the pages proof read..there are a lot of grammar mistakes...

thanks, we're fixing it ASAP!

I don't have an android phone so I can't try it out but it seems like a pretty cool concept. I wasn't able to work out what it does from the home page. I had to go to the "How it works" page and then I began to understand. So my feedback would be to try to get the message across better so the user instantly "gets it"

Thanks for the tip, we're on it.

Is this a CRM skin for Android? It's not very clear to me. Almost every line is marketing speak. I think you should get rid of "Inch is here to help you make and live more everyday." and replace it with what the product does.

Thanks for the feedback!

Some honest feedback: Get someone to thoroughly proofread your site copy. I'm unsure if it was done in a rush or by someone who speaks English as a second language, but there's a lot of odd phrasing and ambiguity (more below). The tagline doesn't make the product's intent clear and doesn't really capture my interest. "Inch makes the dirty job for you. It performs on-the-fly synchronisation with the biggest CRMs while…

For the average person you've driven to your website you've got maybe five seconds before they hit the back button. Took me a good thirty seconds before I understood your product and that is far too long. Give me two sentences max on the front page that tells me what you do and makes me want to invest the time to know more.

Thanks for the comments!
