### 3/5 — Took long to upload

*2026-07-17, version 1.145*

Completed QA forms for each apartment on Tuesday. Still not uploaded to desktop version by Friday. This is a regular flaw that stops me sending required reports. Fieldview is near instant. Come on Hilti. Sort it

### 3/5 — Gut, viel Luft nach oben

*2026-06-18, version 1.143.1*

- Fotos sind nicht individuell anzuordnen (Doku ist unübersichtlich)
- Datum in Formularen in der iPhone-Version ist kaputt
- Rapporte sind unübersichtlich
- Akkuverbrauch ist extrem. Bei Nutzung wird iPhone 17 heiß. 10 Minuten verbrauchen so viel wie 2 Stunden Spotify oder 1 Stunde Instagram.

### 4/5 — Simon Privett CM

*2026-06-02, version 1.142*

Like most things the more you use it the easier and better it becomes ,so far so good

### 2/5 — Rotating

*2026-05-23, version 1.141*

Please I want to know how to rotate icons in the app. Thank you

### 3/5 — Please fix the latest update

*2026-04-27, version 1.139*

I loved using this app. It has been an invaluable tool.  Was an easy 5 stars however the latest update has rendered the app unusable on IOS. Constant freezing and crashing, pictures disappear after adding them or are assigned to random pins. If the phone rotates at all with a pin open the app will freeze.

### 3/5 — Need wide angle camera

*2026-04-15, version 1.139*

Please add ability to switch camera lenses so we can use the 0.5 in the app. Otherwise this is extremely helpful for surveys

### 3/5 — Communication with Other

*2026-02-17, version 1.135*

App with great potential, it lack when assuming that in the world of construction every trade uses Fieldwire. It is not possible to send a communication to anyone without the software. It’s a nonsense

### 4/5 — Pretty dang good, really dang useful.

*2026-02-11, version 1.135*

The app itself is awesome. I have 30 files on my desktop that were full of 4 files each and had to make an excel spreadsheet just to try to keep up with our fiber optic jobs. Now it’s all here, I got my bore logs, picture proofs, footages, permits, right of ways, everything in one place, AND I can put geolocated pictures on my maps. It’s awesome. The only reason it’s not 5 stars is that sometimes on the mobile app, the picture I placed doesn’t save. The photo itself is still in the project, but the tag on the map is gone. One tiny issue in an otherwise awesome app. I highly recommend this for any type of construction manager, I’ve never seen an app that can do what this one does.

### 3/5 — Pinch points

*2026-01-16, version 1.134.1*

Honestly hardest thing is uploading PDFs. It never wants to be in order. It’s the weirdest thing. Cover sheets end up in the middle of the electrical set. This one pinch point would get it 5 stars if fixed.

### 3/5 — Needs a lot of improvement

*2026-01-13, version 1.134.1*

Can’t move the numbers when measuring out of the way of existing markings as Bluebeam

### 5/5 — Fieldwire review

*2025-11-05, version 1.132*

Very impressed with its capabilities and ease of use

### 3/5 — Czech Republic

*2025-10-08, version 1.130*

Dobrý den, kdy bude funkce stavebního deníku legislativně uznávaná na území ČR?
Děkuji za odpověď.

### 4/5 — Eine  praxisgerechte Anwendung…

*2025-10-02, version 1.130*

…mit der sich auch große Bauvorhaben beherrschen lassen - sofern man sich mit diversen Eigenheiten arrangiert.

Preisliche Abstufungen nach Nutzer-Rolle ( Admin,  Bauleiter, Monteur, Sub etc. ) werden nicht angeboten.

Effektiv gibt es 2 Ansichten mit unterschiedlichem Funktionsumfang, direkt in der App (incl. Offline Support) und auf Fieldwire.com. Schmerzlich vermisse ich in der App die sehr guten Kalender Ansichten ( Kanban, Gantt u.a.), diese gibt es nur in der Web-Version. Auch fehlt eine Möglichkeit zur Synchronisation mit dem Apple Kalender.

PDF-Reporte können nur erstellt werden, wenn man online ist. Es gibt keine Vorlagen für Formulare, dies würde den Start sicher erleichtern.

Die Bildfunktion unterstützt kein Swipe zum nächsten Bild sofern man sich direkt in einem Task befindet. 

Beim Upload von PDF-Plänen rendert Fieldwire in der App diese offenbar zu einer Rasterdatei. Arbeitet man mit großen, detailreichen Plänen, sind Details bei großem Zoomfaktor nur noch schwer auszumachen-ein wirkliches Ärgernis.

Die Versionierung von Plänen ist gut umgesetzt.

### 4/5 — Phone memory killer

*2025-09-22*

The app uses to much of the phone memory, restricts from using the convenience of the app

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Used to love the app

*2026-05-19*

I used to love the app until I found out I was being charged over $200 a month because I had invited some third party contractors to view my project. Turns out I’ve been paying for accounts for them. Despite some of them already owning their own field wire accounts.

### 1/5 — Fast unnutzbar

*2026-05-18, version 1.141*

Würde 0 geben wenn’s möglich wäre

### 1/5 — A clunky mess.

*2026-03-16, version 1.137*

If I wasn’t forced to use this I wouldn’t. New updates cause the app to crash constantly, primarily in the new photo preview which was a completely unnecessary add on.

### 1/5 — Absolute Katastrophe die neue App für Brandschutzdokumentation

*2026-03-05, version 1.136.1*

Wenn ich 0 Sterne vergeben könnte, würde es 0 Sterne geben, der Doku Manager war 100 mal besser und unkomplizierter. Da hat sich Hilti wirklich nichts dabei gedacht..

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-02-23*

It is a free app but suddenly they cut you off from your projects and you can't reach it afterward.

### 1/5 — Unreliable and unstable

*2026-01-23, version 1.134.1*

App sucks, customer support can suck my left sack

### 1/5 — Slow

*2025-08-20, version 1.127.2*

The app constantly freezes. Tried multiple tablets and phones and had the same results on all devices.

### 1/5 — Brandschutzdoku

*2025-01-12, version 1.117*

Viel zu komplex für Brandschutzdokumentation, war vorher einfacher

### 1/5 — Good but……

*2024-12-30, version 1.116*

I am not a worker and the app doesn’t allow me to in. I downloaded to draw it for fun. 😢

### 1/5 — Bugs and poor service

*2023-11-23, version 1.98.0*

*Poor customer support 
*Lots of bugs 
*Program has bugs 
* Does not work with IOS very good

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Best software ever

*2026-06-15, version 1.143.1*

I love this software it’s very simple and helpful

### 5/5 — Excelente

*2026-06-11, version 1.143.1*

Funciona muy bien , es intuitiva, permite llevar el control y trazabilidad de las actividades de manera eficaz, la ocupo para el área de topografía, lo malo, noto que consume mucha batería.

### 5/5 — Incredible Tool

*2026-05-16, version 1.141*

This app is a god send. I’m working on updating the lighting at a college in Arizona, and this program has made this project so enjoyable . 

I upload a floor plan of the current building, detail each room using the pins, and my team can glide their way through their shift. 

Thank you field wire team!

### 5/5 — Horizontal pictures crashs

*2026-05-14, version 1.141*

Horizontal pictures crashs the application.

### 5/5 — New User

*2026-04-15, version 1.138*

The program has worked great and improves always for years.

### 5/5 — Project Management

*2026-01-15*

This app is great for document control, task management, QA/QC forms, spec management, and drawing markups. It’s really easy to invite sub-contractors, clients, and consultants to the platform as well.

### 5/5 — Constructive

*2025-11-18, version 1.133*

Accurate and easy to use

### 5/5 — The best

*2025-11-18, version 1.133*

I like is powerful tool for heavy construction

### 5/5 — Nagyon jo

*2025-11-11, version 1.133*

Nagyon szeretem

### 5/5 — Outstanding

*2025-11-10, version 1.132*

This app is incredibly user friendly even for beginners. It works both though the web as well as the app. Even if you don't have wifi access it will still sync. I recommend this app 10/10.
