Comparability issues with 360 camera
Tried using this app for work to mark locations of 360 photos during a walkthrough. Holobuilder works well enough, but the job walk feature is completely useless. Asked for my location. Gave it that. Asked me to walk around for some sheet scaling. Did that. But it still won’t let me take 360 photos where and when I want. All I need is to manually drop a pin and take a photo while I’m doing the walkthrough, but the coders overcomplicated this program to the point of 0 compatibility. Complete waste of storage space. You’ll want to upload all your 360 photos manually and place them in holobuilder one by one after your walkthrough is finished. App makes no sense. 1/5 star.

Login issue
During login it goes to eu server and has no option for us server. Eu does not recognise my email and password
Must connect to WIFI
You can take photos offline and then you have to be on WiFi to upload them, you can’t use data on your phone. It’s annoying, and that’s fine, but to do anything you have to be on WiFi, so I have to go back and forth from the job site to the office to do anything.
I have to use it every day, and to make it work I have to reinstall it.
I use an insta 360 camera which it claims is compatible. The alignment is terrible or the image is corrupt or something. But the app doesn’t work with that $500 camera despite it saying so. Other than that its not user friendly software. To change points on your phone you have to edit on the website, save, sync (but ONLY WITH WIFI… great concept for a job site) and then itll update my phone. Drop box is a more practical solution. This is an overly corporate way to make other people waste their time so they can watch the job from their desk.

Great app with minor flaw
The system has been great and our company is rolling it out on multiple projects.
There is however a minor issue that has been experienced by a couple of employees both using a iPad and iPhone.
The issue arises when they delete a 360 image from a waypoint. They are then unable to take a new 360 image for the waypoint, further to this if they go back to the sheet view it then becomes impossible to re-enter the sheet.
To resolve this you have to login on a pc and access holobuiler via website to delete the waypoint causing the issue.
When out in the field this causes challenges. There appears no way to delete a waypoint via the app.
Prior to going to the sheet view, holding down on the waypoint only allows you to move the location, a pop-up menu enabling either move or delete would overcome the need to go to a desktop to delete the waypoint.
However the issue of not being able to access the sheet still remains if you go back to the sheet view without deleting the waypoint which also needs to be addressed some how.
