New look????????

What the hell is this new look all about. People have got used to the layout so jobs flow nicely.
There was nothing wrong with the previous design so why change!!!!! Not happy. The only reason I’ve not tried the NICEIC certs is because I was familiar with this but I might as well now.

Stop changing the layout

Works well but then they regularly change the layout of everything and it takes you twice as long to do an EICR. I’ve just done 20 certs and got used to filling them in quickly. Now it’s a complete faff. The last 2 layouts were ok but the latest one is rubbish. It’s so unnecessary as the end result is the exact same. I understand adding features but there’s no need to change the whole layout everytime

Loads of glitches

Was a great app but when trying to add circuits the numbers go off so you have to add each certificate manually

Avoid at all costs

Worst software I have ever used, crashes every time you use it, it has deleted complete certificates before. I have emailed the support line and they couldn’t be less helpful, days to reply with a worthless email which doesn’t help at all.

STAY CLEAR OF THIS APP

Crashes frequently

Have this and the fire app both crash regularly, also misleading with the AI features. You have to buy tokens. Won’t be renewing after the 12 month.

Greedy

This app is great but the billing is extortionate. I’ve had this app since it was free now they want £130 a year just to use it. If you don’t pay you can’t access any of your certs. After 15years of using this app I’m going to have to look for another or start my own app. It’s just pure greed how this company is operating. They have taken so much money over the years and it seems to just get more and more expensive.

ICertifi

Can’t fault it for what I want

Easy to use Software

Fantastic software and easy to use

They’ve never sorted out the bugs

I used ICertifi for years. It was always buggy. i once lost a whole day’s test results once and had to recheck the entire installation due to it not saving properly. They add new features, but never fix the old faults and then introduce new faults. You used to be able to click a SPARE button when filling in circuit details, which added N/A into all the boxes and was a big time saver, but that just disappeared and it’s never returned.

Want to give them feedback? Create a separate account in order to communicate with them, provide your feedback, then find yourself banned because they “didn’t like your tone” they don’t even have the stones to just add an email address so you can contact them easily. You have to set up a different account that they can then ban you if they don’t like what you have to say.

It’s obviously been designed without the input of jobbing electricians because if they did, it would make a lot more sense and be less awful. Shame because the final certificate output eventually looks professional, but the workings behind the software has too many bugs and they just keep introducing new ones. They should have used genuine sparks for Beta testing before rolling out updates but they clearly don’t. And now they’ve added some BS AI features (at extra cost of course) but they haven’t bothered addressing previous issues. I’d love to tell them what doesn’t work but I’m banned.

I reckon I used this for 10 years (it was handy for use with an iPad) but Ive now cancelled my subscription. I’ll find something else that works properly and a company that can take constructive feedback without wetting the bed because you’ve had the gall to tell them it needs more work.

Improvements

Been using the app years and is good but more and more competition is out now. Could do with upgrades, DRAG AND DROP CIRCUITS AS SOMETIMES OUT OF ORDER, TAKE MORE THAN 1 PIC FOR AI FILLING

Lost Certs

The app has updated and lost multiple certs which is unacceptable and has cost me time and money. I will start looking at other options moving forward

Don’t not buy this app

I have used this app for the past couple of years and it was tolerable, but with the recent update it is a joke nothing saves so you constantly repeating yourself hoping it will save what you have written down on a EICR . Save yourself the hassle don’t waste your money

Update disaster

Just updated overnight and now won’t save what’s typed in each time on each page, not very helpful when you have a few EICR’s to test over the coming days. Would like this to be resolved quickly please.

Terrible!!

Awful!! isn’t working properly it’s so frustrating I had this app for years and it just isn’t working properly now, nobody to connect because they ignore you!! lost certs data dates missing and misses signature

Great app

Great app , easy to use and navigate, really great bit of kit.

AI

The AI is a great feature saves me loads of time

Used to be good now shocking do not waste your money.

I’ve had this software for many years, when it started it was reasonable costs, had electric, fire, emergency lights, pat test, all under 1 which was great. Then they split it and the fire /e lights and pat all went into their separate aps costing a lot extra. I wouldn’t mind so much if the software wasn’t so full of bugs. Every update and I mean every one brings a fresh Bach of bugs. Honestly how anyone uses this still I don’t know, I have 1000’s of certificates saved on here which is the only reason I used it still, a lot of the 5 year certs I do are due again this year, after that I’ve 5 years to redo them onto new software. It’s a right hassle but I cannot deal with the bugs and mainly the attitude of the “technical” man there, how he still has a job, he must of made the utterly rubbish software because any company having a ma like that working there would of sacked him a long time ago. How he gets away with his condescending and aggressive reply’s, talking to long standing (8yrs at least) customers like he does I’ll just say it’s a good job he’s behind a keyboard somewhere safe and not a desk.

It’s ok

It’s ok. Not great. Too many bugs. Select subcontractor details (alt profile) but continues to include my companies details as the title of the cert and address at the bottom of some pages. Select to have the individual design, construction and testing sections removed when not used but they remain on the certs.

Being able to do everything offline is ideal.

Transportable building

Any chance you can add “Transportable building periodic inspection report”?

Unfortunately terrible

The app has, for years, had so much potential, but the never-ending quest for ‘new’ - (un-helpful) - “AI features” - makes the regular functions drag and buggy. Customer service is really terrible too. They/he (owner) just blocks you. Which is a shame.
