Golden Monkey
Golden Monkeys, our newest iPhone app, alerts you when VIPs open or click your email campaigns. Since our announcement, our Design and Mobile Labs have been working on perfecting it.
We spent a lot of time on usability testing that included internal testing as well as testing by a few of you who gave us much appreciated feedback on an early prototype. The app received a bit of user interface love so it’s pretty and super easy to use.
Recently, we added some really nifty features including Social Pro. You can see your VIP’s social network profiles, gender, and more. There’s geo location so you can see what part of the world your Golden Monkey resides in. We’ve added the ability to set a passcode so you can secure GMonkeys in case your iPhone is lost or stolen. You can also view member rating, recent activity and email information to your co-workers.

Earlier today we submitted Golden Monkeys to the forbidden fruit company for approval and it should be available on the App Store soon for your enjoyment. We hope you like it.
One More Thing: We’re hard at work on an Android version of Golden Monkeys. It’ll be ready soon.
Where can I get the watch that the guy’s wearing in the video?

I would totally try this app out. I get excited when i check in on how a list is doing… Now i get push notifications that people are being Golden Monkey’s. I likey.
how do you get push notifications that people are being golden monkeys???
You tell the app who you think are golden monkeys (VIPs). Then, it sends you push notifications whenever they open or click.
There’s a little more back story here:

Was this released yet?
I can’t seem to find it in the app store.
Hi Tekay, As of two days ago, it was still waiting for approval by Apple. So we took it down and snuck some enhancements into it, and re-submitted. Probably means more delay, but we couldn’t resist.
Thanks for the update.
I’m really looking forward to trying this out!
[...] Golden Monkeys helps you keep up with your VIPs. You select the folks you want to keep up with, then sit back and let Golden Monkeys alert you (in near real time) whenever they open or click recent campaigns. [...]
