Cloud backup

Hi Team,

I appreciate your great work with the app. But please bring a functionality to safely store all the reports automatically to a cloud storage service. We are risking to loose a lot of reports saved on the phone if the phone stop working or if it gets lost. Please bring cloud backup into the app. Thank you!

Needs a few improvements

I am a RESNET HERS Rater who primarily specializes in multifamily housing. I use this for testing as many as 15 apartment units in a day (yes, with the help of an assistant).

Just my two cents worth on needed improvements as a HERS Rater:

1. For the iPad app, it needs to be able to work in landscape view for people who use keyboards with their iPad.

2. A duct leakage to outside test would be fantastic to have as an option.

3. On the iPhone/iPad, a way to deliver reports to iCloud would be nice.

4. This is probably a stretch, but to be able to share projects between an iPhone and iPad would be nice.

Now, my two cents worth on the good:

1. When RESNET implemented multi-point testing, I didn’t have this app or the means to connect my phone to my pressure gauges. When I was shown how to use this by my QAD provider, I ordered what I needed, downloaded this app and was off and running.

2. Love the geocoding. May not always get the address perfect, but darned close enough.

3. Report output is great. I have never had any problems.

4. The ability to create new test skeletons from existing tests.

Overall works well

Could be more interactive but gets the job done.

It works

This is a fabulous enhancement to my tool box. I always use it for all my energy assessments. I used TECTITE with computers before, but this is faster and easier, and using the IPHONE, a LOT more portable. It even produces over 99% correlation with stormy winds. Rare exceptions happen. Read below.

Two suggestions
I miss it to operate in the BACKGROUND while I’d take photos around the house. It monopololizes my versatile iPhone.

Also I would appreciate being allowed to remove stray points, to improve the graph using only valid points.

With a FEW improvements it’s perfect.
