Ratings and reviews

Neither the app nor the website is user-friendly at all. There's no video or instructions showing you how to get the very best usage out of this product and there's plenty blank space on each page. Bought it as an add-on to Buildium and I'm very disappointed at this point because their website works so well. The app on Android when first opened it gives me a blank page with no info. I don't think I'll be renewing after the first month.

This app still seems to be in beta status. The photo function is half baked, with constant focus hunting, no controls and therefore over or underexposed images of the property. The final comment disappears as soon as your scroll a little up in the app! But the worst issue: it does not keep any data after the upload process on the phone! I had the issue, that, although the app showed me the upload success message, the data never got through to my employer, so I had to redo the whole inspection!

There's no function to copy notes from previous reports on the android version. Notes don't always sync - have to save first, reopen and type back in. It takes forever to export to PDF - It is quicker to print to pdf on the computer (margins are wrong for printing if done this way). Ocassionally crashes and goes to a black screen - you need to close the app completely and reopen.
