I expected a lot more , especially with how long this app has been out and the person behind the app . Please add features to share a pre report ### 1/5 — Glitchy *2025-11-30* This app is really glitchy worked one minute then wouldn’t update exact location, take an address and had multiple login issues ### 5/5 — The perfect app for Solar *2025-10-30* This helps you get inside and get more comfortable with the client. Every rep should have different strategies for the doors ### 5/5 — Greatest App *2025-05-16* Great functional App! 10stars! ### 5/5 — Best app for solar prospecting *2025-05-15* This is the first thing that I show to the homeowner when I knock on the door if you do not know how to use it or don’t understand it feel free to message me on Instagram Taylormccsolar ### 5/5 — Best app for solar prospecting *2025-03-06* This is the first thing that I showto the homeowner when I knocked on the door if you do not know how to use it or don’t understand it feel free to message me on Instagram Taylormccsolar ### 1/5 — Garbage *2023-08-22* Garbage app- no way to search effectively- have to waste tons of time finding the house on the map if you’re not familiar with the area. Huge rip off for 20$ **Developer response:** Chavyhyjal check out the version 2! Finding homes on the map is much easier, the search has been fully revamped and there are multiple options on how to display the solar mapping! Please let me know if you need anything and additional feedback. Be sure to send us an email as well as we appreciate your feedback and would love to see this 1 star from years ago become a 5 star! Respectfully, KnockBuddy Dev Team support@knockstar.university ### 1/5 — Miss leading *2022-12-26* Doesn’t even generate sun hr reports ### 1/5 — Don’t buy this! *2022-11-08* Charging $19.99 for an app that my 6 year old can do a better job developing is ridiculous. Project sunroof is free and actually does what it’s supposed to do. I need to get a refund ASAP this thing is crap! DO NOT BUY THIS APP!!!! ## Frequently asked questions about KnockBuddy ### What is KnockBuddy's primary function?
