Resident experience

The best resident app is the one they already have.

Email and text. Nothing to download, nothing to learn, nobody left out — including the owners who were never going to install anything.

No app for residents to download. Nothing for them to learn.

~20%

of residents ever download a building app

In our research across buildings, that number barely moves no matter how hard the association pushes. A portal-first platform therefore delivers its value to about a fifth of your community. TapHero delivers to all of it, because the channel is one everybody already checks.

What residents actually experience

Illustration of an older resident receiving community bylaws by email late at night.

“Emailed at 11pm, had the bylaws by 11:01.”

Illustration of a resident sending a car image by text and receiving vehicle registration confirmation.

“Texted a photo of my new car and my decal was sorted.”

Illustration of a resident receiving a clear guest-parking answer on their phone.

“Asked about guest parking, got the actual rule — not a PDF homework assignment.”

Illustration of a resident receiving a package notification while walking home.

“The package photo arrived before I did.”

Everyone gets the same service

Owners in their eighties, renters on a one-year lease, snowbirds who are here four months a year. The channel is universal, so the service is too — no training session, no password reset, no “have you tried the app?”

And yes, there's a portal

A web portal exists for residents who want one — documents, payments, bookings, their unit's records. Some communities love it. It's simply never required for anyone to get full service, and nothing breaks when nobody signs in.
