### 5/5 — Fascinante

*2026-08-11, version 0.17.0*

Me encanta no lo he ocupado pero comparando lo que ago no no está tan lejos de los precio.

### 5/5 — Business owner

*2026-08-10, version 0.17.0*

I was able to download an app that collects data, calculates material cost,man hours for the project and all in all a well detailed report that I can send the customers and feel relief that they understand every dollar because I know if someone was charging me I would want the same.

### 4/5 — Invoices

*2026-08-08, version 0.17.0*

*2026-08-05, version 0.17.0*

Great App, detailed estimates. 👍🏽

### 4/5 — Incomplete

*2026-08-03, version 0.17.0*

When I run an estimate for multiple jobs at one site it leaves off certain projects. I’ll add them and when I generate the estimate it drops other projects. Frustrating

### 1/5 — Subscription

*2026-08-03, version 0.17.0*

Signed up for a trial subscription and got billed for four months. Not even an acknowledgement of receipt on my correspondence with them. Product is for the small one man contractor, not for large companies.

### 1/5 — Unauthorized subscription renewal

*2026-07-31, version 0.17.0*

Wanted to try the app since I have another one to see if it was better but didn’t work for me and canceled the subscription but yet I was charged anyways, hate when companies do that where you cancel and they still charge you hoping you won’t notice until months later I reported the unauthorized charge to my card hopefully I get I refund if I ever switch from the app I’m currently using I’m definitely not coming back to use this one.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t start

*2026-06-22, version 0.16.0*

They asked for my data, name, phone number, trade, then pressed start free trial and I get an error message saying the payment information is incorrect. Without adding a payment option or needing one. Seems like a scam.

### 1/5 — No options for payment

*2026-06-22, version 0.16.0*

It can be good, but once Im obligated to pay by Apple Pay, I cannot agree and think it can be really good. Unfortunately

### 1/5 — Garbage Application

*2026-06-11, version 0.16.0*

I have used this app on multiple jobs it costed me over $30.00 a month to lose me over $4,000 on a job. It does have some good features if they would work correctly idk if it is their AI that is trash or what but you cannot get good renderings even with a simple and straightforward description. You tell it to remove something it added on its own that wasn’t in the dew and it just refuses to do it. Do not rely solely on this app, do your own figures which then there’s no need to even have this application.

### 1/5 — Simply unwise

*2026-05-23, version 0.15.0*

How does this have any good ratings??? It closes if you leave the app to find info. When you try create a new estimate it opens your last estimate… it cant make make any progress confidenty in it. Im baffled how this is recommended as a top estimator! Smh

### 1/5 — Really rate that

*2026-05-14, version 0.15.0*

I really hate apps that make you create a login and then show you that you can get a trial or full version. This is ridiculous! It should show at first that to use you need a plan and let the person decide if wants to move ahead or not

### 1/5 — Don’t bother downloading

*2026-05-05, version 0.15.0*

I kept seeing adds for this about automatically building estimates with just a picture after trying again and again uploading the picture does nothing all the app does is make line items to put in that you manually click I had no help doing anything not impressed at all

### 1/5 — Not all trades listed.

*2026-05-02, version 0.15.0*

Masonry Contractor

### 1/5 — Phishing

*2026-05-02, version 0.15.0*

This app will ask for your name and phone no. At the end will ask you to sign up for a monthly subscription!

### 5/5 — Needing updates

*2026-08-24, version 0.18.0*

The app is really good with the use of Ai but where I have a problem is that you can’t add or customize your final look of your estimate. You can’t add log or colors to name a few. Also not able to have a default rate for some trades.

### 5/5 — Martín

*2026-08-24, version 0.18.0*

Es facinante te hace mas facial el trabajo

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-08-23, version 0.18.0*

This would’ve been so helpful years ago

### 5/5 — This is the real deal

*2026-08-22, version 0.18.0*

Here’s the real…I’ve downloaded a BUNCH of worthless apps, I  paid for,  and continue to do so… with no return whatsoever. this app is was not that for me. This app includes all  the things u “don’t think about “as a contractor, in your quotes. If u get TOO busy to keep up with your estimates, Let this app do the heavy lifting. Give a general description of the job to be done with measurements ; a picture helps. Turns the above stated information into a very detailed, and ACCURATE estimate plus  an AI generated rendering that got me to nearly
45% close rate. AND that  =  more $$. I rely heavily on g**gle ratings in my line of work. And this is the first time I’ve been impressed enough by a product I bought to leave a review myself 🤔

### 5/5 — Saves a ton of time and work

*2026-08-17, version 0.18.0*

Not a single complaint, taxes are accurate, material aggregates are within 5 percent (Home Depot vs say a dedicated lumber supplier). The invoicing feature is a learning curve and its yet to be determined once tax season gets here if the ease of transferring paid estimates is smooth. Customer service dialogue is assuring and consistent. The render function works best when you take spanned out photos. Honestly would have to knitpick to find an issue. I literally just realized there was a desktop version I may play around with one day but the app is basically all you need.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-08-17, version 0.17.0*

It don’t matter how small the job is it brings in every detail which I love with taxes option is amazing

### 5/5 — Shower

*2026-08-14, version 0.17.0*

Good

### 5/5 — Plumbing

*2026-08-14, version 0.17.0*

I like this it was very straightforward once you put in all the details

### 5/5 — First job would pay subscription for a year

*2026-08-13, version 0.17.0*

As the title says, I landed the first job with perfect numbers and it paid the entire year Subscription there’s not loss give it a try

### 5/5 — First time user

*2026-08-12, version 0.17.0*

I was surprised. It may work after all.
