When you get used to the layout it will help you knock out a great looking proposal in a short amount of time. You can build a mock up proposal for each scope and then copy/paste to help blaze through the redundant literature typing. ### 4/5 — Thoughtful *2020-08-29* I’ve been using the app on iPhone’s for years now and it’s a great app to use. I’ve always had great customer service here but recently I’ve experienced the true nature of capitalism. I was looking into downloading the app for my MacBook but realized that I couldn’t afford the $40+ cost for this app. I reached out to customer service for a possible slight reduction in the price (this is during Covid-19 shutdowns) and literally received no response and was completely ignored. So, I decided I would not get the app here but went ahead and moved to a different app instead. Customer service is important and the foundation for our businesses. Best ### 5/5 — Get this app!!!!!!! *2019-11-19, version 3.3.2* Omg All I can say I have created and run a Busness from this absolutely perfect ,professional , ready for Action ! ### 5/5 — Good app *2019-11-18* Functional and simple ### 3/5 — Complicated *2018-05-25* Downloaded it this morning. Bought the additional cost books and cant make heads pr tales out of it. ### 5/5 — All the itemized costs displayed on top of of each other *2018-05-14* Update. Reinstalled the application and that fixed the visibility of the itemized costs issue. Back to loving this application. ### 2/5 — Not truthful *2017-02-27, version 3.0.6* The apps does everything it says but, it fail to mention that the material cost factors you will pay and extra $50 per category. In which blow me away. I was excited until I cross that situation. I felt , that I should have been warn about such high cost. This was the reason I purchase it at $19 but now. My air has been let out, very disappointed. ### 3/5 — Good but.. *2016-09-01, version 3.0.4* It's overall a good app. Takes a long time to get it set up how you like with your costs. You do have to buy cost books of you want help with certain task you don't price regularly. Good looking estimates but my biggest problem is its not synced with my other devices. If I make a estimate on my phone, I can't access it on my iPad, huge problem for me. I downloaded a free app called joist and that even does syncs my estimates in of my devices so I don't understand how I paid $20 for this app and paid like $65 for their one cost book and still don't have this convenience. I hope they add this feature soon, would be very helpful. I haven't even tried to use this app on my Mac yet, you probably need to buy the app again for Mac. ### 5/5 — Very easy to use *2016-05-08, version 3.0.2* I don't use this for all my estimates. If a client is looking for a quote on the spot it is my go to app. Very useful tool to help with estimates on the go! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Misleading! *2019-05-01* You can download the app for free, but then they charge you over $20 a little later! That needs to be fixed! The price should be shown before you download!!! I guess I’ll never see my money again!!! ### 1/5 — Not pleased *2019-04-10* I guess I thought it had estimating and prices in the app... ### 1/5 — Not a fan *2018-10-28* Bought this app and just didn’t like it. ### 1/5 — Complicated *2016-11-06, version 3.0.5* I would not recommend this app.😡😡 ### 1/5 — Run away - reviews are written by the developer *2016-08-20* This is just a template. Not helpful at all Very clunky to use and very expensive. I definitely have buyers remorse. ### 1/5 — luke *2016-08-16, version 3.0.3* This is not what it appears. It is ONLY an organizer. You still have to purchase all the online books for it to work. Without the books it is just a template you have to fill in yourself. In other words, you are paying $20 bucks for an excel sheet. DO NOT BUY ### 1/5 — Not what I thought it was *2016-07-22, version 3.0.2* This is a report formatting tool that makes nice looking estimates for clients. I was looking for actual cost data, so when this app offered a 30-day free trial of one of the Craftsman cost books, I said okay. That downloaded another app...which immediately wanted me to select a level of payment. I gave up on the whole thing at that point. Twenty bucks wasted. ### 1/5 — Don't buy it *2016-07-07* It's a trick , you buy this and if you want to get prices to start working on this you have to spent even more to get there . Good job guys , I bet you earn your money ! ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2016-05-03, version 3.0.1* You spend $20.00 for nothing . All the pricing manuals cost $50.00 each . Don't waste your time with this app I wish I could get the $20.00 back. ### 1/5 — Can't use *2016-05-02, version 3.0.1* Also would need to buy contractor tools and pay a monthly service and then even for to use multiple devices and users ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Simplicity *2026-01-28* Been using this app for years. It makes billing so fast and easy.! ### 5/5 — I have used this for years *2026-01-02* For me this app works perfectly for my small business. I appreciate that they keep it simple and easy to use. ### 5/5 — Una herramienta muy útil. *2024-06-16, version 4.0* Si la sabes usar, puedes encontrar la respuesta a todos tus problemas. Muy buena herramienta de trabajo. Por eso le doy las 5 estrellas. ### 5/5 — Best estimate program! *2023-05-26* You know most of these types of programs are way off. Also they just don’t look right or are complex to use. This isn’t. It actually makes me more money as a contractor and honestly I’ve had several customers tell me they have selected me due to my presentation of bid using this software. Also insurance companies weren’t used to it at first but have come to appreciate its great details and I have never had any issues with pricing once I show and mention the price book I utilized and how I came to my figures. It’s simple to use for us old school contractors and is quite professional for everyone and transparent. I personally have used it for years. Love it! Accurate, area coordinated pricing, fair and profitable. Keep up the good work! ### 5/5 — Great program *2021-08-14* Easy and quick to generate estimates Updated price books make it a breeze ### 5/5 — Best App Ever *2021-04-23* Once you drill into this thing and get it set up it’s the easiest way to get estimates and invoices out to customers fast. ### 5/5 — Thank you *2020-01-21* This has help be me out many of days ### 5/5 — Please keep this app alive *2020-01-18* Very intuitive and easy to setup and send estimates. A simple invoicing feature would be greatly appreciated in future versions. ### 5/5 — Better and Better *2019-11-28* A happy user for several years. ### 5/5 — Estimator *2019-11-20* This program is a lifesaver. I can get projects sent to customer within minutes once you know the program. I have used this in over 40 projects and made some good money because how great it estimates! It is so professional and easy to use! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
