Site Diary app replaces the existing paper construction daily reports, site journal or daily logs, where field workers make a report of things that occurred on their projects. With Site Diary app, we make the whole process quick, fun and simple so you both have a detailed daily report and time left to focus on building more. We developed Site Diary to address the needs of site engineers, foremen and site managers working in construction organizations, contractors and installation teams both large and small. "Site Diary allowed me to keep track of construction progress and emerging issues in real time” - Christopher Pletcher, Municipal Engineering Manager, Ayres Associates Task management/allocations feature The first product to integrate daily reports and task management. Users can create a task, add information about the task (manpower, equipment & materials to be used) and the persons it assigned to. Report progress on a task by creating a work log. The diary form will be automatically filled with all the task info which will make it a lot quicker for users to fill their daily reports. Site Diary Features include - Real-time site progress and monitoring, whereby users have visibility of work being done by site staff. Submitted reports are immediately available for review and approval by off-site personnel. - Share information. The app will allow field workers to send an email after they create an event. (This is optional) - Local weather report automatically included - every report entry is automatically linked with the prevailing weather conditions for that site at the time, which is important information to include in a daily construction report app. - Added images - photos and other images can be attached to reports. - Offline support - Sites with limited connectivity are not a problem as the app continues to perform seamlessly off-line.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Site Diary at none against Site Report Pro's 10. Site Diary also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (88% vs 76%). Site Report Pro's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (639 vs 45). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Site Report Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Site Report Pro has 639 ratings behind it against 45, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Site Report Pro's written reviews are positive against 88% of Site Diary's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Site Report Pro ships an update every 2 months, Site Diary weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
