A PHONE app for housing association residents to access their tenancy information has been launched.

Sovereign Housing Association has developed the Windows Phone app for residents to view its online MySovereign portal.

It is available to all three major mobile phone platforms – Apple, Android and Windows.

More than 1,100 residents are already using the app on Android devices and on iPhone and iPads.

Sovereign launched MySovereign a year ago, and more than 5,000 residents are using the online portal to view the balance of their account, make payments, to log repairs and track their progress, to look up scheduled maintenance dates, and to report anti-social behaviour.

Debbie Osborne, head of Sovereign Connect, said: “Since it was launched a year ago, we’ve seen MySovereign become an increasingly important aspect of our resident’s lives.

“We launched MySovereign with the intention of improving the service we provide to residents, allowing them to access our services in a secure and user-friendly environment at a time that is convenient to them. We are delighted that so many have signed up for this service.”
