### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-03-27, version 1.1*

Locks up as soon as I open the app. Completely unusable

### 1/5 — Freezing

*2025-03-22, version 1.1*

Used to work perfect now it always freezes. Why is this being ignored?

### 1/5 — Always crashes

*2025-03-22, version 1.1*

As we teach PAT (In-service inspection and testing for electrical equipment) and use a seaward primetest 100 this app when it did work was brilliant for new starters to Pat testing, however, I am unable to demonstrate to anyone as the app always crashes, I’ve since removed the app…

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-03-03, version 1.1*

Loaded details and completely frozen

### 1/5 — Frozen app

*2025-02-27, version 1.1*

I can’t access my information because the app is completely frozen, I’ve had to delete and re-install in the hope that I could still use it…. No it freezes and then you get stuck halfway through a test at clients premises, it’s embarrassing when you can’t generate a certificate as promised

### 1/5 — Completely Frozen

*2025-02-27, version 1.1*

Just completely frozen, won’t do anything.

Waste of time

### 1/5 — App Frozen

After performing PAT testing on the app for several years, all of a sudden the app has frozen and I’ve not be able to access data on it for many months.

*2025-02-26, version 1.1*

Did Pat testing then tried to open app with no luck. App froze. Half a day work to the pants.

Loads app, registered my details, screen Frozen, I’ll have to let it go!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Poor app

*2026-03-11, version 1.1*

This App has great potential but is currently beyond poor… it simply does not work. 

It takes 10-15 attempts of closing and re-opening the app for anything to work

On opening the app and trying to use it, nothing responds to the touch on the screen

The app simply does not work  after my company have invested in the pat tester which is compatible with the app, the app is now useless

### 1/5 — Crashes as soon as you open

*2026-01-14, version 1.1*

Crashes every time you open it, closed the app, restarted and it continues to crash. Almost not useable

### 1/5 — APP NEEDS FIXING!

*2025-11-14, version 1.1*

Concept works, just the app is poor and does not seem to work as constantly freezes. Tried closing the app but it still brings you to the page that was just frozen. Just tried deleting and re downloading the app but all data I’ve uploaded has now gone meaning I have to start again. Really not ideal!

### 1/5 — Needs sorting, never works

*2025-11-12, version 1.1*

I know this is free but please sort it out, you are better off paying for a subscription service elsewhere.

### 1/5 — Tester

*2025-10-25, version 1.1*

Crashes a lot which is very annoying. Ends up taking longer because of this.

### 1/5 — Peter

*2025-09-18, version 1.1*

Still freezing, nothing changed, many complaints and … no reaction…. How we can trust?

### 1/5 — Freezes

*2025-07-08, version 1.1*

Screen constantly freezes. On top of that, it is not possible to extract all data on one page. If there are 1000 tested appliances, you must to extract every single test separately. It is my mistake that I did not read those reviews before purchasing it.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2025-06-02, version 1.1*

App completely feeezes and does not work and can’t even access all data you could be waiting for ages till it unfrozen. Not reliable

### 1/5 — Avoid

*2025-05-16, version 1.1*

Twice now the app has frozen losing ALL data, appliances, results. Won’t be using again.

### 1/5 — Frozen

*2025-04-08, version 1.1*

Can someone sort the app it’s completely useless at the moment

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — User212Dom

*2022-04-29, version 1.0*

Very useful

### 4/5 — Decent for a freebie

*2025-04-28, version 1.1*

Had no issues until it froze, deleted and reinstalled which worked BUT lost all data. However a useful tip from ‘Stan the Fan’ suggested leaving the app open and going back to the app icon and tapping on that again, so I did this when it next froze and sure enough, the app unfroze itself with all my data still on there ;) Ty Stan mate.

### 4/5 — If Frozen

*2025-04-25, version 1.1*

Try leaving it open and going back to the screen where the icon is and pressing it again. Works for me.

### 4/5 — Recommendation for improvement

*2023-07-03, version 1.1*

This is a great program for keeping track of and providing professional looking reports. The only criticism is that it’s hard to see failed items on the pdf list. All tests look the same and the only reference to a failed test is the (Overall Status) Pass or Fail that are still in black. Failed items would be better in a clearer status, Red or Bold text maybe. But still a very nice app.

### 3/5 — Needs update

*2025-12-08, version 1.1*

Takes about 10 mins after opening the app to actually be able to use it

### 3/5 — App

*2025-02-17, version 1.1*

App keeps locking me out have to restart loads of times to get to work not good when trying to work

### 3/5 — Crashes or fails to load

*2024-06-22, version 1.1*

This a generally a good app.  But over the last few months it either takes 5 or 6 attempts to launch it.  Not sure why but it looks like it’s not had a update in 2 years.   It now launches but freezes the screen. Please sort this out. 

Thanks.

### 3/5 — Very useful but please keep developing

*2023-09-18, version 1.1*

I don’t do enough testing to justify the annual costs of something like PatGuard3 so this is a very useful and handy app. Had crashes, mostly on accepting the result on cable resistance calculator. Some fields don’t show well (upcoming retests) and I’m finding some of the operations slightly unintuitive. Not gone into all the features yet but I’m sure there will be more to be happy with and a few more bugs to report. But for those of us with low volumes of testing it’s worth spending some time with it to see if it suits your needs.

Thank you Seaward.

### 2/5 — Not great

*2025-05-30, version 1.1*

The software, good but basic compared to other apps. Would be great if you can add spaces and characters to the asset ID. Also the printer labels need to say Electrical Safety Test. As it stands the labels, don’t tell a person what the dates mean and for.

### 2/5 — Still freezing! Needs fixing!

*2025-03-24, version 1.1*

It’s good when it works but it freezes and takes ages to unfreeze which costs time and is very annoying when you need to get on and work.
