This observation app has been developed by Appteam, combining hands-on experience with ICT expertise. In order to improve the level of safety and/or quality in a construction project, the receipt of many observations from the work floor is critical. Appteam set off to developing a smartphone app which allows the user to report an observation within seconds. Experience proved that the filing of many observations will provide the project management with the right focal areas for improvement.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Gemba Observations at Free against Red Onion's $1.99. Gemba Observations also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). Red Onion's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 4 months) and chart position (#113 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
