GPS-Powered Field Reporting Open the app, tap Field Report, and your location is already filled in. HOA Board uses GPS to auto-capture the property address the moment you arrive, so you never type another street address in the field. Add a violation category, set severity, attach required photos, and save — all in under a minute. One-Tap Address Discovery Building your resident list manually takes hours. HOA Board's Discover Nearby Addresses scans Apple Maps and uses GPS offset probing to find every residential address within your configured radius — instantly. Your entire community, imported in seconds. Full Violation Tracking & Audit Trail Every violation moves through a clear workflow: Open → Noticed → Warned → Fined → Resolved. Each status change is timestamped and logged automatically, giving your board a complete, court-ready audit trail for every property. Automatic Owner Lookup Connect your Regrid API token and a Look Up Owner button appears on every resident record. One tap pulls the property owner's name from public records. Regrid offers 1,000 free lookups per month. Configurable for Any HOA Enable only the modules you use — GPS field reporting, Documents, Events, Voting, Payments, and more. Set your address discovery radius from 25 to 500 yards. Require 2, 3, or 4 photos before a report can be saved. Built for Privacy All data stays on your device. No cloud sync, no third-party analytics, no data sold or shared.
