FAST (Field and Service Timekeeping) is a reporting application that allows organizations to dispatch and collect reports for critical business operations. The data collected can then be used to process other operations. FAST will also collect time, signatures, validate data and make that available to your accounting software. Rather than setup projects, clients, rates, employees, and other information you already have, FAST has a full API to collect this information from other systems. This reduces setup and accounting issues. The software is fully customizable and can be used across several operational types and industries. We believe we started with the most complicated task and created easily understandable user input and organized useful outputs. As a client you can provide us your forms, or we can recommend a template for you. We will then provide access to both the reports and a website with all the information collected on the reports in an excel type searchable format. No longer do you have to look at reports to see your information across multiple projects, clients, employees, dates, and types. As a client we also give you full control of what to make required on a form to make sure your employees/contractors collect all the information you need.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Device Magic holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Device Magic has 3.7K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of Device Magic's written reviews are positive against 100% of FAST Field Service's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Device Magic ships an update every 3 weeks, FAST Field Service monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
