### 1/5 — Horrible app

*2023-04-18*

Will constantly reboot itself and log you out freeze and have your device slowing down and lagging.

### 1/5 — Code Enforcement Officer

*2022-12-15, version 3.8.5*

This app is horrible. The maps will only open if you have a good signal. The app continually freezes, logs out, looses connection, or crashes

### 1/5 — App is rarely updated, not optimized, and barely works

*2022-02-24, version 3.8.5*

App is seldom updated by the developer. App is not optimized for the various iPhone screen sizes so you see black bars at the top and bottom of the screen. Photos and documents do not actually attach to a record. App is clearly neglected by the developers just like Accela’s web based program and it’s customers.

### 1/5 — Makes my day so slow !!

*2021-10-22, version 3.8.5*

This app is the worst app ever in my life !!!! So slow and it will not attach my photos. I wish this company would call me so I can help them out .

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2021-04-20, version 3.8.5*

Horrible app

### 1/5 — No bueno

*2021-03-02, version 3.8.5*

No bueno

### 1/5 — Junk

*2020-10-28, version 3.8.5*

What a bill of no goods. About as good as a plastic knife for cutting prime rib. 
👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼

### 1/5 — Worst app ever

*2020-08-05, version 3.8.4*

The app is a waste of time and money. Find another software...Spend the extra money and buy something better if you are a municipality. App crashes constantly, certain needed functions like maps never work, and a whole bunch of other problems. RUN AWAY!

### 1/5 — Horrible app

*2020-04-21, version 3.8.4*

It’s 2020. The iPhone 6 and 6 Plus came out in 2014. Yet you still do not support the screen size of an iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 7 Plus, or iPhone 8 Plus. Virtual keyboard keys are extra large and buttons oversized on this device. You push out updates and yet don’t optimize your app. Yeah, there are currently too many iPhone screen sizes but you’ve had 6 years to do the one.

### 1/5 — Worst inspection app EVER!

*2020-04-06, version 3.8.3*

Every update makes this garbage we have dealt with for 10 years worse. We often need to know who failed a previous job , but this latest update no longer lists that. Want to delete an inspection after you resulted it,, well it works , but deletes all the other inspections off the map, requiring a reboot of the app. Just 1 of many issues. spend more time refreshing,restarting,etc. than should be done with field work. Terrible app.
