### 3/5 — Glitchy mess

*2026-07-16*

The actual interface for this app is great. It’s very simple. It’s easy to use when the app actually functions as it should. If you leave the app and go to your home screen or lock your phone or anything along those lines, you have to close out of the app and reopen it to get it to reconnect to your tools which is frustrating, especially when you don’t have the best Internet connection as the app also has issues loading when you have low signal, this app could be very good if the couple of bugs will work out, but they make using the Job Link tools frustrating.

### 2/5 — Login issues

*2026-06-29, version 5.9.0*

I can’t log in. Tried changing the password and still doesn’t work. Tried creating another account but can’t because the account that supposedly doesn’t exist is taking up my email. So it’s a huge waist of time on the job.

### 2/5 — Sometimes

*2026-06-26, version 5.9.0*

Sometimes it works great, sometimes it won’t load

### 3/5 — It works sometimes

*2026-06-07, version 5.8.1*

Without an Internet connection and your phone or tablet is away from the tools for too long, you go to next job, it forces you to log back in and it must have Internet connection. Sometimes in rural areas with no Internet connection or in city and the internet connection is down, guess what? no tools working! that sucks. 
Frequently disconnect from my wireless probes between the SMAN gauges and the joblink phone app.

### 2/5 — It’s okay

*2026-06-07, version 5.8.1*

I’ve got an iPhone 16 pro max and the app is updated. It still has bugs and errors that cause it to crash or not allow you to get to the diagnostic screens to use your tools. The app seems like it’s been neglected. They really need to keep updating it regularly.

### 2/5 — Very inconsistent

*2026-05-22, version 5.8.1*

The app always logs me out and drops the Bluetooth connection to the gauges.

### 2/5 — Update failure

*2026-05-09, version 5.8.1*

Already update every single probe but app won’t let me use them and still shows that I need to update them all this is frustrating.

### 1/5 — Broken app

*2026-04-25, version 5.8.1*

Tried to make a account twice , when I use app , I’m given wrong credentials twice.

### 2/5 — App doesn’t work

*2026-03-24, version 5.8.1*

If your app doesn’t work. Your tools don’t work. Not very reliable in my opinion. 30+ years in the industry.

### 1/5 — Never Stays Logged In

*2026-03-23, version 5.8.1*

So recently they updated their app and now every single time you open or close the thing it logs you out.  Used to be able to still use the app in areas with no service but not anymore because when it force logs you out you get a black screen of death when you try to get back into the app.

### 1/5 — Fix the credentials issue!

*2026-03-22, version 5.8.1*

I’m so tired of getting logged out of the app every five minutes while trying to pull a vacuum and decay test and then have to log back in and it’s ruined and I have to start all over again. This is costing me time and money and it needs to be fixed ASAP or I will be switching to a different brand. It’s been over two weeks and the problem still has not been resolved. This is completely unacceptable!!!

### 1/5 — Every update breaks it

*2026-03-20*

UPDATE: Now even after many submissions to customer support and no reply, updating my phone, deleting and installing app multiple times, I still have to login to the app multiple times a day. It seems that if the app is closed for 10-30 minutes it kicks you out and you have to login again. Unbelievably annoying to have to do this just to access the readings. 


Any time there is an update to “fix general issues”, the app does not function for a couple days. 

I work for a company with 25 tech that all use joblink tools. On 3-3-26 an update came through and I got calls from 8 different techs saying their app didn’t work and they couldn’t use their probes to complete their jobs. All on different phones, all tried deleting and downloading the app, and for some of them the app didn’t work all day. Now today it won’t work on my phone today. It worked yesterday somehow. 

There is also no reason this app should need cell service or an account of any type in order for me to access the probe readings. It should be able to give me readings purely locally on my device through the Bluetooth alone. 

The account services are nice, but not needed or used by the vast majority of techs. 

Please make this able to function without cell service and without logging into an account.

### 2/5 — Why do you log me out every time I close the app

*2026-03-17, version 5.8.1*

This is app is so annoying. First the buggy charting for changes over time with the graph. Now you guys update the app, and do you improve bugs and weird UI choices? No, you made me log in everyday now. Just leave me logged in or at least give me the option to stay logged in.

### 2/5 — Why do I get logged out

*2026-03-17, version 5.8.1*

The tools are great, the concept is great. This app SUCKS. Why does it log me out every time I close the app? Why does it just not open and just show me the loading screen until I delete it and redownload it? Why do I need a password that’s up to Fort Knox standards? FIX THE APP PLEASE. I’m sitting on the side of a customers house right now just messing around with this stupid app when I could be working. It’s costing me time and other people money. Please for the love of god fix the bugs on this app. AND LET ME JUST USE IT, DONT MAKE ME LOG IN. ITS A BLUETOOTH TOOL WHY DO I NEED A DAMN ACCOUNT!?

### 1/5 — Will not open

*2026-03-16, version 5.8.1*

When I open the app it doesn’t make it past the home loading screen. I’ve been using this for a long time and never had problems until now.

### 1/5 — Constantly need to log into app

*2026-03-16, version 5.8.1*

The app needs to constantly login after every use. There are no special features that should require this. I would like to use what I purchased without having the constantly login.

### 1/5 — Frozen

*2026-03-13, version 5.8.1*

Unusable, frozen at Home Screen

### 1/5 — Not working since update

*2026-03-13, version 5.8.1*

Not working can’t get on app since new update, please fix and I’ll update review if fixed

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2026-03-13, version 5.8.1*

Can’t event login or create a new profile so I can’t use my wireless tools. Made my job take longer and couldn’t get it done

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with iOS 26.4

*2026-03-12, version 5.8.1*

As title said it hasn’t worked for a minute, just gets stuck on launch screen.

### 1/5 — Login issues

*2026-08-12, version 5.9.0*

I can’t log in. Tried changing the password and still doesn’t work. Tried creating another account but can’t because the account that supposedly doesn’t exist is taking up my email. So it’s a huge waist of time on the job. Can’t get ahold of tech support since the phone line is always busy. And thanks to their stupidity the tools are completely useless without the app so if you want to be as unprofessional and inefficient as possible this is a solution.

### 1/5 — Must create an account??

*2026-08-03, version 5.9.0*

I haven’t even used the app yet, but I am completely disgusted by this. You literally have to create an account in order to use the product you just spent hundreds or thousands of dollars on. No, I don’t want to give you my information and I certainly don’t want you sending me anything.

### 1/5 — Unreliable

*2026-08-02, version 5.9.0*

Great when it works. Definitely don’t get rid of analog, because occasionally the app doesn’t work, or worse, takes your probes hostage in the middle of a project. 

I’ve had stuff stop working because it needs an update. “It takes 5 minutes”. My experience is 20 min to it taking hours. Currently trying to update band new probes and they won’t take an update. Downloads until it dies. I left one to update overnight with new batteries and phone on charger. Woke up, still downloading. And yes I followed listed procedures for the blue etc.

### 1/5 — Stupid

*2026-07-30, version 5.9.0*

Just spent $800 on probs and css as my get the app to let me register. What a joke.

### 1/5 — Always a issue of some kind

*2026-07-13, version 5.9.0*

App is a pos. Logs you off and then when you don’t have phone service you can use you tools because app wants you to log in

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2026-07-02, version 5.9.0*

Account creation is required to use the app. I need to create an account…..just to view pressure and temperature data. Of course they use the information to send promotional material. Can’t get any work done out here without having 20 different apps and logins. Make it stop!

### 1/5 — Thousands in tools broke with no internet

*2026-06-30, version 5.9.0*

Completely useless if you don’t have an internet connection wasting thousands of dollars in tools and time. Old company like field piece should have fixed this by now. Garbage.

### 1/5 — Firmware updates

*2026-06-11, version 5.8.1*

They never seem to work. Waste a lot of time following the steps and the tool is useless because the updates do not work.

### 1/5 — not reliable.

*2026-05-27, version 5.8.1*

just so it happens, we work in the remote areas where there is no Internet. And when you open this app, all of a sudden it wants you to login into your account. again without Internet it is completely useless.
why do I need to be logged in? why password has to be that complicated? 
Is it the matter of national security? When I started using this app, it only required numbers now it needs special characters letters, and numbers why? I’ll tell you why because you are fishing for people's passwords. Someone can make a mistake and enter already used password in your system. And expose their identity.

### 1/5 — Worst app

*2026-04-26, version 5.8.1*

Can’t create an account

### 5/5 — Great Support when things stop working

*2026-03-06, version 5.8.0*

We base our reports on Job Link for the last three years without a glitch. When we had one, we solved it in less than a day.

### 5/5 — Carlos R.

*2026-02-03, version 5.6.0*

I appreciate the time and helpful. Got all my probes completed and was very nice and knowledgeable about his job.  Thanks again Carlos for all your help and support.

### 5/5 — Great App with Continuous Improvement

*2025-04-15*

We really appreciate the Fieldpiece app and have enjoyed seeing the many improvements over the years. One of our favorite updates is the ability to use a probe to read outside temperature—this has made our workflow even smoother and more efficient.

The app overall is very reliable and well-designed. However, we’ve noticed one issue with the PDF reports: when using the manometer, the pressures for P1 and P2 show up correctly, but the differential (P1-P2) doesn’t always appear on the report. It would be great to see this fixed in a future update.

Thanks to the Fieldpiece team for continuing to improve this great tool!

### 5/5 — It’s been good

*2024-05-10, version 4.1.1*

I use this app every day and I like it

### 5/5 — Big wireless clamps JL3LC

*2022-11-25, version 3.1.4*

Why you guys not adding possibility to connect big wireless clamps(JL3LC) ? I have to download measure quick in order to use them

### 5/5 — I love the tools but lately?

*2021-10-10, version 2.15.0*

The app is not opening . Is been happening for a week now . I have a iPhone 12promax but is not opening . I really wish to know what is happening. Luckily I have measure quick which opens the app and I can see measurements. All my tools are from you guys but you need to fix this .

### 5/5 — I can’t (don’t want to) work without

*2021-07-23, version 2.13.0*

I use Fieldpiece tools for my business because I can trust them. I love using the app to show my customer what’s going on while I’m with them in the living room. It’s great to be able to email or text them a report of my findings. Especially useful when I’m doing rental property or commercial because the owner is usually not on site. Keep up the good work!

### 5/5 — Works as expected.

*2021-07-09*

To all the whiners about distance … first understand it’s wireless signal via Bluetooth be happy if you can get more than 25ft period. Other wireless probes lose connection between 20-50ft meanwhile this one still gets average 100ft depending on insulation or any other metals blocking signal. Set your expectations correctly. Secondly have not had any disconnect issues at all with the six probes I have. The app is fairly easy to use and understand. Wish they would the monthly fees where less 30 bucks for pro is a bit high for a single license use if you plan on using it for invoicing  price should be closer to 5-6 bucks a month maybe 12 bucks the other plans need to be reduced as well.

### 5/5 — Definitely Worth It

*2020-04-07*

I’ve been using Fieldpiece products for almost 2 decades now, and I gotta say I’ve never been let down. As far as this app joblink probes I love it. All on one page, easy to read, always improving. Guys at work use testo and measure quick but I think it’s a let down compared to this app. If I had one complaint it’s that Fieldpiece could tell us more in advance what they’re working on. Bought a manometer 2 months ago and last month they announced a wireless one. I would have waited.

### 5/5 — Perfect to show customers

*2020-02-15*

When they see a old set of gauges they don’t understand what your showing them but when you can pull you phone out and show them a live look at what happens when u remove a dirty filter they don’t complain and say the filter is not the problem. That is one of my favorite things also it helps me a lot with other tools like the voltage meter I can see the voltage drop when I’m having to flip threw breakers in a over crowded unmarked breaker box without having to climb up and down to see if it turned off or not. there are other great advantages but those are the most common problems that this app as solved
