### 5/5 — Better

*2025-05-21, version 8.5*

They updated it now better than it was a while a go , less clitches than previous

### 1/5 — WHY DO YOU NEED ACCESS TO MY AUDIO FEED????

*2025-02-18, version 8.5*

As if writing PATs isn’t mundane enough, this overzealous app won’t let me listen to any music app at the same time because for some god unknown reason it thinks it needs access to the audio feed on my phone? Why? Absolutely pain in the neck. 

Also insists it needs access to my camera and will remind you every time you add an appliance even if you have no intention of adding photos. And I toggled between giving you access/revoked to the microphone to see if that would fix the audio feed hijack problem - no luck. 

This needs to be fixed. This is what happens when app developers try too hard to be too smart. Wankers

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2025-02-10, version 8.4.9*

The only reason I use this app is because each appliance has a photograph in the register. As soon as I find an alternative software which has this feature, I’ll be cancelling the subscription to this app.

The app constantly crashes and deletes any appliance added since the last save and has cost me so much time in the past.

### 1/5 — Won’t stop crashing !!!

*2024-06-24, version 8.4.6*

Won’t stop crashing and icertify are nowhere to be seen !!

### 2/5 — It’s ok…

*2024-03-15, version 8.4.2*

As someone who needs to do annual testing and a lot of it for an events business, it’s great.

However, the app seems unstable. I could get 25 appliances into testing and then the app crashes, losing everything I’ve entered. Very very frustrating.

Seems like it’s been like that for a while. Please sort.

### 2/5 — Awful & Zero Support

*2024-02-19, version 8.3.7*

I write this in the hope of getting some support from iCertifi. I have limped I’m using their normal app without any useful updates for years (copy / paste/ convert to EICR among others) and have given up but I would just like it if the PAT App didn’t crash every time you add a single piece of information. iCertifi PAT App Issues Again, more basic but frustrating issues to do with icertifi Apps, this time the PAT app which is £50 per year has bugs from 5 years ago and crashes constantly. Trying to get through to iCertifi is almost as difficult as using their apps. Issue 1 The PAT App crashes constantly. I must have had to reopen the same file 150 times to enter test results for 30 items today. It crashes when setting up the file initially so you have to save every step, even half way through writing the name, it likely crashes before you can save. It crashes every time when entering test results. My method is this: Open Certificate Go to Items Enter Test Details for item. Save (more than likely crashes at this point). Home Open Certificate Go to Items Enter Test Details for item. Save (more than likely crashes at this point). Open Certificate Go to Items Enter Test Details for item. Save (more than likely crashes at this point). Etc Etc. Really frustrating. Other improvements needed : 1. No ability to load a saved signature as in iCertifi main App, you have to use your finger to make a squiggle which looks unprofessional. 2. The whole address doesn’t show on the cover page, only part of it. 3. Business Logo is small and not obvious, more space is needed. 4. www.iCertifi.co.uk webiste doesn’t load. iCertifi could be forgiven for these issues at the start of an Apps development but the fact is they continue, without resolution and its impossible to get a response from anyone. iCertifi - Are you out there?

### 1/5 — Not Good.

*2023-10-20, version 8.3.4*

Poor layout and to expensive if you just want to see how it goes.

### 2/5 — Very glitchy

*2023-10-18, version 8.3.4*

Copy appliance data function only copies some data, the rest must be manually filled each time

No option to serialise appliance ID meaning they have to be manually added everytime

N/A selected to clear measured values still leaves earth continuity readings in certificate despite being greyed out in form

Even if selecting “default all items to pass” in settings, still have to click pass for each item

To see appliances on form you have to hit “add appliances” tab, even if you just want to see not add them

### 1/5 — What customer service!!!

*2023-09-02, version 8.3.2*

Had the iCertifi app for 15 years and all the other apps I paid for too. Then one day the app didn’t work lost 15 year worth of certificates. The bloke didn’t want to know and blocked me from contacting him. So if I was you I wouldn’t bother with any of his apps.

### 1/5 — Do not buy

*2023-08-28, version 8.3.2*

I’ve used this and found it is full of bugs. Random Pictures fail to load also same with results. I had to keep going back over installing these but still randomly fail to load on to the certificate. You cannot fill in results on one device and view on another either.
