User reviews

Worst app on my phone

Hot garbage

I would not recommend

This app would be impressive in 2004; however, fundamentally fails in its execution by modern standards.
The design is grossly out of date.
The functionality of the photography application within the app is clunky and poorly thought out.
Their attempt to automate photograph clarity is buggy and generates large amounts of false positives.
The process of reviewing photographs is slow and requires you to download the photos onto your phone from their server before swiping through the photos sequentially.
The design of the app makes reviewing the images to ensure full capture unnecessarily difficult.

I gave this app 1 star due to the impressively out of date features and design as well as failure to perform the basics well. The definition of ‘enterprise’ software.

Garbage

Complete garbage that waste my time. Stuck in the 90s the main function of the app, the camera, it’s hard to focus. The button adds more time than taking just a regular photo this app solves nothing it creates more problems.

Issues

The app is useful for field work, but several issues significantly slow down the closeout process:
1. Photos taken in the app are not saved to the phone gallery.
This makes the closeout process more difficult because photos cannot be reused or accessed outside the app.
2. When uploading photos from the gallery in sections that require multiple pictures, the app only allows selecting one photo at a time.
This significantly slows down the process. A multi-select option would greatly improve efficiency.
3. Some sections require the same photos to be uploaded multiple times.
Currently, the app does not allow copying photos from one section to another, which forces users to take duplicate photos again.

Great Product! Adds Efficiency!

Very pleased with the capabilities of this platform. The iPad works great for the crews in the field and the app is intuitive and easy to use, no more binders full of site documents, crew certs, and safety paperwork are necessary. Completing on-site JSAs, taking closeout photos, and accessing site-specific build documents to view and redline are just a few of the uses in the field.

From a management perspective the desktop portal is an excellent tool to scope sites, track build progress, maintain crew visibility, and monitor certification expirations. The Pathwave team is professional, responsive, and actively working to make continual improvements. Great product!
