### 5/5 — Great

*2026-08-14, version 14.0.3*

It is so helpful for my work requirements

### 3/5 — Unfortunately buggy and tech support is vague

*2026-08-14, version 14.0.3*

Have been using this app for 8 years and it’s been great up until recently which I’ve had issues with the searching function, text to clients to auto fill a job never inputting back into the app, chasing clients to go missing and inadvertently loosing clients to other plumbers as they feel I’m fobbing them off. In the end love to see problems being actioned with some sort of communication rather than echo’s

### 5/5 — LG

*2026-08-13, version 14.0.3*

Would be good to have .5 wide angle for taking photos

### 3/5 — Inconsistent Processes and functionality

*2026-08-10, version 14.0.3*

This app offers so much more than many of your major players in the FSM market. HOWEVER, many of the things it does, it does well, but it is inconsistent as to what you can do in the app vs the desktop browser version. To say this is targeted for Apple users is a falsehood to a large extent. I do use Apple by coincidence, but if you want access to the full capabilities, that’s only possible through the browser. Also, the app and browser based versions are NOT Mobile optimized. The app is  mostly, but not entirely and the browser version, well let’s just say, welcome to the beginning of the internet meets mobile device…sure it loads, but I’ll be shocked if you can do much on it. Nothing sizes properly when you zoom or scale for the device. I really can’t believe how, in this day and age, that a mobile site can be SO BAD.

### 1/5 — Hopelessly inadequate

*2026-08-03, version 14.0.3*

If you want to spend hours training before using or spend hours on chat bot instead of talking to someone directly, then this is the app for you!
Buyer beware…

### 5/5 — Good App

*2026-07-29, version 14.0.2*

The best handyman app around

### 1/5 — Poor customer service

*2026-07-23, version 14.0.3*

Really poor functionality where a customer replies to a message but you don’t receive unless they do it in a particular way. Reported it with no resolution. Has cost me time and money.

### 3/5 — Automatic invoice reminders

*2026-07-20, version 14.0.3*

The order of my reminders reversed without me knowing. Final reminder went to first reminder. Not good

### 5/5 — Fantastic!

*2026-07-09, version 14.0.3*

Makes life so much easier

### 3/5 — Work

*2026-07-08, version 14.0.3*

The camera function needs to zoom out option
