Brilliant idea, interface issues

The is app is a brilliant idea. However, the finicky/touchy responsiveness to do ng er gestures and swipes make it nearly impossible to understand details of how specific components fit together. Zooming in or moving the camera perspective is a tricky experience. Zooming in for a simple verification that a piece is positioned correctly can take 3-4 minutes of frustration, as you continually get almost there, only to have the app recognize your two-fingered touch as a one-fingered touch and suddenly move the camera perspective of the screen drastically.

I hoped this would be a better experience, but unfortunately it didn’t turn out that way. If they can fix the overly-responsive interface, this app would immediately jump to 5 stars.

So much easier

I don’t usually leave reviews, but I just put together a Weber barbecue with the help of this app and didn’t swear once! Thank you on behalf of my family members.

Why?! Just include printed instructions πŸ™„

This app took something simple and made it an absolute nightmare. My husband and I have put up several ceiling fans over the years and NEVER have we EVER had to use an app for insulation. We can generally get a ceiling fan up in half an hour with printed instructions because he knows the first few steps. They are all pretty similar in that aspect. So we are able to skim through and get to where we need to quickly with printed instructions. But with this app, absolutely maddening! It took us an hour and a half to install a ceiling fan for my father in law. This app turned a quick, easy project into a long drawn out process and had my father in law stressed out by the time we were done. Why must everything be on an app these days?! What happened to good old fashioned paper instructions?! My father in law has told several of his friends about this ordeal and none of them can understand it either.

Response from developer

I'm sorry for the frustration. Our clients like the fan manufacturer provide interactive instructions on the free BILT app because most people find the ability to zoom, rotate, and tap on parts to be more helpful than using paper diagrams. If you ever find yourself in this situation again, please reach out to us at support@BILTcorp.com, and we will be happy to provide a PDF of the paper instructions via email. We also welcome suggestions to make the app easier to use. You can skip steps in the app (like flipping to the printed instructions), but if that isn't intuitive then please let us know. Thank you for taking time to provide feedback. Warm regards, Angela from BILT

Pointless

Downloaded impenetrable instructions for a Sage Bambino Plus. User interface is clunky, too much pointless information (β€œthis is a counter top” - seriously?), gave up and just fiddled around in the end. No substitute for an actual printed manual, but no doubt has a ton of gullible private equity money flowing in, so I expect we’re stuck with it.

Monkey bar set install not great on a phone

It would be good if I didn’t have to use an app and could use my Microsoft laptop to view. Nothing like trying to view a 5x3m monkey bar set install on a small phone….

Assembly

This app made putting together my Weber so much easier. I’m going to use this whenever I can.

100% easy!

Made installing our bike seat so easy. Recommending a ratchet if you have one.

Makes construction easy

Changing angles and zooming in etc really helped clarify some of the pictures from the book.

Awesome

3D manual works great!

Easy to use. Great App

5* for ease of use. Made the job a lot easier.
