What happened on site? Where exactly is the problem? What evidence was captured? SceneBox keeps the full story together and turns it into a report that others can understand immediately. Use it for installations, repairs, property handovers, inspections, equipment maintenance, project acceptance, public issue reports, or any moment that needs a clear field record. EVERYTHING FROM ONE VISIT, TOGETHER Keep notes, photos, videos, recordings, and locations in one collection instead of scattering them across Photos, Notes, and message threads. Add more details or reorder the story whenever needed. POINT DIRECTLY TO THE PROBLEM Use arrows and text on photos to identify damage, faults, installation points, or important details. Move, resize, rotate, and recolor annotations while keeping the original photo intact. RETURN TO THE EXACT MOMENT Mark an event when you hear an unusual sound or see an important moment in a recording. Tap it later to return directly to that point. KEEP WORKING WITHOUT A SIGNAL No account is required. Capture, organize, and preview your work in basements, plant rooms, construction sites, and other places with unreliable connectivity. CHOOSE EPUB OR PDF FOR DELIVERY Open EPUB reports in Apple Books or other EPUB readers, or use our online reader: https://yjyinfo.github.io/scenebox-reader/ . The EPUB Web Reader is open source and can be integrated into your own business systems: https://github.com/yjyinfo/scenebox-reader/ . Alternatively, export PDF for office apps and PDF readers. Audio and video travel with the document; playback and attachment support depend on the recipient's reader. Clients, coworkers, property managers, and service teams can follow what happened, review the evidence, and see what needs attention. Share the report using the iOS share sheet. BETTER WORDING, SAME FACTS Let AI polish your notes with one tap, or ask it to draft a description from a few simple inputs. You approve the result, and SceneBox does not add facts you did not provide. Core capture and report creation work locally on your device. Both EPUB and PDF preserve a consistent page layout for preview, storage, and delivery.

Verdict

The call

Askbot and SceneBox are too close to call on the numbers: across 5 compared parameters — price, ads, in-app purchases and device support among them — neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.
