Looks really nice, guys-- congrats! Would love to see some more product screens versus "request a demo" or "try it for free" (both are time-consuming ways to learn how a product looks/works).

Nice. I always thought Rypple was a great idea but a) early and b) was never sure if their execution would work. They were acquired by Salesforce and rebranded as Work.com in 2013.

I hope the Impraise team can make it work - waiting a year for performance feedback is a stunningly stupid notion.

Do you discuss pricing anywhere? I'm very hesitant to commit to a free trial when I don't know how much the product will cost afterwards.

Surprised to see a YC company doing an android app before the iOS app! Are we seeing a shift?

How about adding a page that explains the process and benefit to managers?

More details and screenshots on techcrunch.

Really glad feedback is moving in the direction of smaller, more frequent interactions.

Google cloud endpoints

Google Cloud Endpoints supports iOS, and I'm not even sure if Impraise is using Cloud Endpoints. Pinging impraise.com shows that they're using Amazon Elastic Beanstalk for at least their web app.
