### 2/5 — Constant problems

*2025-06-05*

We’ve used CoConstruct for years, but are being forced to switch to another program because we’re realizing the limited functionality and customization of CoConstruct. The app itself we constantly have problems with locking up and not working.  We can’t edit schedule items all the time and have to uninstall and reinstall all the time.

### 2/5 — Not a good app

*2025-01-30, version 3.21.10*

App is not very functional, and have had issues with schedules pulling correctly and other issues for years.

### 4/5 — Works with iOS 18 after app update

*2024-10-04, version 3.21.10*

With the latest app update app seems to be working again. Thanks to the support team

### 1/5 — App not working

*2024-10-03, version 3.21.8*

The app load with a white screen every time even if I force quit please fix this bug

### 2/5 — Needs improvement

*2024-10-01*

Lacks full options / tabs / viewable features vs desktop. I only used desktop or we miss notifications from our developer. No longer works for iOS 18

### 1/5 — App will no longer load

*2024-10-01, version 3.21.8*

The co construct app will no longer open up on my phone. Deleted the app several times. I get a spinning loading when then it just goes to a blank white screen

### 1/5 — Crashes, won’t open

*2024-10-01, version 3.21.8*

This app won’t open. Is this an iOS 18 thing?

### 1/5 — iOS 18

*2024-09-30*

Doesn’t work on iOS 18. The app is so simple there’s no excuse for it breaking.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work after iOS 18 update

*2024-09-30, version 3.21.8*

Title says it all. Worked fine before update.  Blank white screen afterwards. Worthless

### 2/5 — Only a white screen after OS16 update.

*2024-09-27, version 3.21.8*

Please fix the white screen issue.

### 1/5 — Broken as of 9/25/2024

*2024-09-25, version 3.21.8*

### 2/5 — Not Compatible with iPhone 16

*2024-09-25, version 3.21.8*

Updated my iPhone to iOS 18 and does not work, just blank screen.

### 1/5 — Bricked

*2024-09-23, version 3.21.8*

The latest iOS update has made the app no longer load. It is completely useless. Get it together

*2024-09-22, version 3.21.8*

App does not work. When open it’s just a blank screen.

### 1/5 — Bricked

*2024-09-22, version 3.21.8*

The latest update has caused this app to be completely unusable.  

Very disappointing. It just gets worse and worse since builder trend bought out Co-construct.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Abysmal

*2025-08-20, version 3.21.15*

This app is complete garbage. One of the slowest, clunkiest, most frequently crashing apps I’ve ever used. I have to use it for my job but I’m thinking of convincing my boss to switch to another service because I can’t get ANYTHING done in this app.

### 1/5 — App is slow and difficult to navigate

*2025-06-14*

I would have given zero stars but that’s not available.

### 1/5 — Extremely Disappointed After the Recent Update -6-Year User

*2025-05-19*

I’ve been using CoConstruct for over six years as a builder, and up until recently, it was a reliable and helpful tool for managing my projects. Unfortunately, the latest update has made the software functionally useless for my workflow.

Files routinely get stuck when opened, and I’m unable to exit, send, or even save them. This isn’t just frustrating—it completely halts progress on my end and disrupts my day-to-day operations. On top of that, the overall performance has gotten noticeably slower, making even the simplest tasks feel like a chore.

After years of loyalty, I’m now forced to consider switching platforms. It’s incredibly disappointing to see a tool that once worked well become this unreliable. I hope the team listens to long-time users like myself and addresses these major issues quickly.

### 1/5 — Messenger part

*2025-03-22*

The feature where you message needs improvements. There is no way from the customer side to see if messages are seen by the builder/company. I feel that it limits the credibility of communication. I messaged my builder company and have no idea if anyone saw it. Now I’m left waiting and wondering. I have no prof or knowledge of they did. Things will become troublesome for my project if my messages are not received. I need, as the customer, need to hold them accountable for their actions or progressively try other ways to reach out.

### 1/5 — Horrible waste of time

*2025-02-21, version 3.21.11*

If you want to ensure that you miss crucial details in your project, specs and selections then use this app. This app is absolutely horrible and should be removed from the App Store immediately. Why would you not make all information available on the app as well as online? this is a joke

### 1/5 — Project Manager using this app for years

*2025-02-12, version 3.21.11*

This app needs to be fixed with the photos uploads and crashing issue in job logs it’s annoying. It’s gets really old and time consuming.

### 1/5 — Super buggy and laggy

*2024-12-10*

Messages never scroll to the most recent message. Can’t zoom into Attached photographs

### 1/5 — Please Update ASAP

*2024-11-17*

Very frustrating to use since update, bugs on phone app in particular while imputing time and dates to log work days.

### 1/5 — ios 18 kills the app - needs development and support

*2024-11-12*

App seemed to work as it should before IOS 18 and now the app dies and won’t work correctly. Contacted support and was told it’s not their issue and they can’t replicate it. I can confirm this on 3 different devices so not sure if they did anything or if it’s just too much effort to support the app. 

Don’t download use the website.

### 1/5 — Update ruined app

*2024-10-16, version 3.21.10*

Since the latest update, I can no longer put notes into time entries longer than five words. And everything in the app is glitchy screens don’t change like they’re supposed to. also time entries sometimes do not save now. 
They would be better off going back to whatever they were running before.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Elite

*2023-11-04*

If you know how to conduct efficiently on your preferred device, this app in my opinion simplifies the functionality and complexity of the administration part of construction! Leaves time and energy for the essentials, like being caddy with equipment and efficient with materials. I love this app!!!

### 5/5 — Co+Construct

*2023-08-18*

It’s very nice 👍

### 5/5 — Co+ is stinkin’ powerful!

*2023-03-25*

We love Co+ (which is what we affectionally refer to it). It is very powerful and impressive. We are eager to see how and what BuilderTrend does with and to it in the next couple of years. Until then, it continues to streamline our business and increasingly helps us become more and more organized!

### 5/5 — Transformational

*2022-01-20, version 3.20.2*

Co+ (which is now our abbreviation for CoConstruct), has literally transformed how we as a company interact with each other, our customers and our vendors. Additionally, their customer support is unlike anything else that I have ever experienced. Ignore the dummy that gave them a 1-star review, I’d be surprised if they’re still in business. 

If you want to take your remodeling business to the next level, go with Co+.

### 5/5 — Coconstruct is easy to use and very organised

*2021-03-22*

Better than any other method of reviewing or collecting information for a work site that I have use in the past

### 5/5 — Less expensive option

*2020-01-30*

Check out “Home Building Excel Spreadsheet” on Etsy (store name on Etsy is “Spreadsheets4Life”). It has cost/schedule (Gantt) and a step-by-step checklist. It even has an estimated draw schedule. If you’re a smaller company it may take care of your needs. 

Co Construct may be overkill for what you are doing. If so, why pay so much each month. The Etsy spreadsheet is a one-time cost.

### 5/5 — Incredible!

*2019-12-05*

An absolute game changer for my business. It’s already an amazing program and the best part is they keep improving it. Deciding to go with CoConstruct was the best decision I’ve made all year. From Estimates to back end accounting and everything in between. They have a dedicated team of people to train you and anyone on your team.

### 5/5 — Transformed our business.

*2019-05-29*

We are custom home builder with large volume.  We are cost plus business model.  We needed a way to get all on the same page with clients and our staff. It has given us transparency, organization, connectivity, and direction.  We would not have been able to get over the hump without this system.  
We recommend this for any construction company that is serious about growth and understands the value of processes.  
Our clients have been thrilled with it and in some cases it actually covered our tail because all the Documentation  of communication is recorded. 
There are so many other ways we use this software. It’s worth every penny and so glad we spent the time and effort to truly understand it.  There was a tough learning curve in the beginning but with CC internal support and training we moved through it then we really opened it up.  With anything that offers great reward there is often a struggle in the beginning. 
If anyone ever needs to chat about this then feel free to reach out to us at Millhaven Homes. Happy to share.

### 5/5 — Always improving

*2019-04-21*

I won't talk about the benefits of coconstruct here, as builders that use it know it's immense value. The reviewer that have one star apparently didn't read anything about the software before purchasing! 

The app itself is constantly being improved, just like the web version. These folks listen to input, and I have seen changes made after I have suggested things. Overall, good functionality that keeps getting better, from an honest company.

### 5/5 — Great upgrades to a already powerful app

*2019-04-10, version 3.6.0*

Excellent upgrade to better modify schedules from the field on mobile.  Keep it up!
