Ratings and reviews

You will incur data loss. No doubt about it; just a matter of time. Tech support will have no solution. At least, none that work. Is it better than its competition? Yes. That should tell you what you need to know about the competition. This is better; not good. Peers that I've spoken to, they don't use the app to take pictures. But, this tech is supposed to be about doing more, with less. Fewer tools. This app is driving me back to a clip board because I literally, never lost a photo using a digital camera. I have watched this app accept my input for taking a picture, Green check. Okay. Happy days? No. Blank photo spot. At least, with a clip board, I don't have to call borrowers for another trip/entry to the property. I don't understand how the claim can be made that this app saves you X amount of time, during an inspection, when it constantly drops pictures. Sketching? Double check everything you draw. Update: 08/29/2021: Just encountered an interesting, data transfer issue, between field inspections. A photo from a field report five days older than the report I'm typing today, shows up in random order, within the other report's field picture pages. How? How can a week old photo just, migrate itself into another field inspection? Why do so many pictures go missing in this software? Why is it so expensive for software that simply falls short in every category except floor covering and utilities? Comical. But, not funny. Stick with your clip board. It's hard to make plywood and paper double cross you, in the field.

As of 6/23/21 I wanted to give 3 stars due to some recent glitching/lagging/odd ball stuff... BUT I'm giving 4 stars bc total for mobile has been truly amazing. Yeah it could be better but I haven't found anything that can compete with this app (yet). The recent glitches are mostly severe LAG. Take a pic, move to the next picture slot, ***THIS*** is where I see a horrible lag. Not sure if that's the app, my phone camera, or the communication between the two.

20 Year Alamode customer using Alamode Mobile Inspection technology for nearly 20 years. Total for Mobile is a workhorse. It's extremely rare to have issues with Total for Mobile. I've never experienced data loss. I really like having all of my work files stored within Total for Mobile so I have immediate access, even during times with no internet access. I would like to see some minor improvements in some areas such as photos and storage. I've been mobile appraising since the PDA. *****
