Ratings and reviews

Oh they updated the app icon... 10/07/20 - Here's a star so I can let you know how much this app SUCKS! The worst part of my day is when I have to open this dumpster fire of an app. It constantly logs me out when Im using it, doesn't update jobs several minutes after they've been assigned, cannot upload more than one attachment at a time, randomly requires me to enter the server address to log in. If my boss didn't require us to use this app I'd uninstall it in a heartbeat.

This app is garbage. As a subcontractor I am forced to use it, and have nothing but problems every single day. Things like photos not uploading, the task panel disappearing, and buttons not working make my job more difficult than it needs to be. While I'm digging holes and breaking concrete for a living, the last thing I should have to worry about is this app not working. It stops me from invoicing efficiently, and it lowers my spirits whenever I have to use it just to do my job.

This app has got to be one of the worst apps out there. It is absolutely junk. It won't allow you to do even the simplest of things. You enter times for jobs and if you want to delete an entry, there is now way to do it. There is no delete entry option.
