newREACT® vs HSE
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
newREACT®
Read full descriptionHide full description
The completely redesigned newREACT® (new enhanced worldwide REmote ACcess Tool) is the successor to the REmote ACcess Tool remote access system, which has been available since 2018. The newREACT® system can only monitor fire alarm control panels that are connected to the newREACT® server. This means that the two apps are not compatible with each other, but perform similar tasks, namely remote access to fire alarm control panels. Due to the enormous success of the existing REmote ACcess Tool remote access system and the large number of connected systems, it became necessary to fundamentally redesign the system in order to increase performance and improve scalability. Currently, both apps have comparable functions, but new functions are being developed exclusively for the newREACT® system in order to completely replace the REmote ACcess Tool in a few years.

Workplace inspections are carried out, risks are identified, and measures are documented. This is exactly the work that makes occupational safety effective. But a large part of the work only begins after the inspection: the documentation back at the office. - Transfer photos from your phone. - Write up what was discussed. - Insert images into reports. - Fill out forms. - Format everything properly. And try not to lose your mind in the process. Instead of time for prevention, what often remains is one thing: bureaucracy. But occupational safety should achieve the exact opposite. It should help companies create safe workplaces. Not generate even more documentation effort. This is exactly the idea behind HSE-iD. HSE-iD was developed by safety professionals who know this reality from their own daily work. Our goal is a tool that reduces bureaucracy and strengthens prevention work. With HSE-iD, digital documentation is created that thinks ahead. PRE-LAUNCH HSE-iD is currently in the pre-launch phase. Official registration will be available shortly. During the pre-launch, the "Workplace Inspection" feature is already available. It was developed to reduce documentation time during inspections to a minimum. - Observations are recorded directly during the inspection. - Photos are automatically assigned. - Information is documented in a structured way. - Reports can be translated into 7 languages. This reduces post-processing at the office and creates more time for what really matters: effective prevention. HSE-iD is being developed together with safety professionals and managing directors from practice – with the goal of making occupational safety simpler, more effective, and future-proof. Additional features will follow with the official launch.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: HSE at fortnightly against newREACT®'s every 3 months. newREACT®'s advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
