### 5/5 — Professional app

*2021-09-22, version 2.988*

Very easy to use and customizable.
Recommend to anyone who is a professional home inspector. Creates a clean looking report.
Would be nice to customize on the phone.
Best wishes to all

### 3/5 — Easy to use but can’t access photos

*2020-07-07, version 2.982*

This is definitely easier than the desktop app, but it won’t access my photos! The app has been given access, but both “camera” buttons in the app simply access the camera instead of one of them being for the camera and the other for existing photos. I prefer to write my reports after, not during, an inspection so this is very problematic.

### 5/5 — Upgrade

*2019-05-23, version 2.96*

This is a great option!

### 3/5 — Like it BUT I don’t

*2019-01-28, version 2.92*

I agree with the other comment. Time is crucial in a home inspection. Also what I don’t like about it is that their is no video. Without improvements it will just become last place. Really would like to use it but theirs other software out their that set the bar real high.  Sorry! I will look out for you guys in the future.

### 3/5 — Great in the field- not so great after that.

*2017-08-25, version 2.6*

This app works well in the field. There are a couple of things I do not like:

(1) no use of arrows on mobile version

(2) Can't access and upload photos from gallery. Sometimes time is of the essence on an inspection so I can't find the condition and system to take a photo on the spot. I'd like to be able to access photos while writing report on my phone.

Other than that the app is great. It would get 5 stars if those two issues were resolved!

### 5/5 — Photo crash

*2017-06-13, version 2.4*

This is a great App but, App crashes too often when taking photos during an inspection. After taking between 25-27 photos whether you use the push option to sync or not, the app crashes, displays a black screen and takes you to the Ipads Home Screen. Only has happened with the Ipad, using the Iphone, the app works great. Purchased a new mini ipad with sufficient memory and wifi connectivity and is still a problem. Calls to support have not been unable to resolve the issue.
Anyone else having this problem?

### 1/5 — Horizon Home inspector software

*2016-08-08, version 2.1*

Software is a scam. The only thing that's free is the download.

### 1/5 — Horrible update

*2016-04-16, version 2.0*

As a long time user of Horizon, I was excited for an update to the existing search function. However, the update turned a somewhat useful function into an almost unusable time soak. Because the new search function is global, I have to keep every description, limitation and recommendation in the database in mind when trying to narrow the search results to a reasonable number. Memorizing long mnemonics ("ex gl cr” for example) or adding additional partial words to the search box takes more time and thought than simply scrolling to the desired item. I am disappointed in the lack of forethought, design and (apparently) field testing that went into this update. I have continued to use the new version, hoping that the function would become more intuitive, but the truth is, inspection of a typical home takes 15-20 minutes longer when I use the new software. Horizon, please correct this horrible flaw. Otherwise, I will have to move to a more time-friendly solution.

### 5/5 — Fast App

*2016-03-10, version 1.6.4*

This app really streamlines field reporting.  I like taking instant photos direct to my report. Like my personal photo documenter!
An account is required to connect.

### 1/5 — Don't bother

*2016-02-05, version 1.6.4*

Can't log in. Just a loss of time.
