Tap Inspect - Home Inspections 4+

Overall this is an excellent app for home inspections. As the name implies, a simple tap makes inputting notes quick and easy. I’m producing detailed 25-40 page reports in just 2 hours! I’ve used this app for several months now and have no complaints about its performance. -1 star because the layout is dated, and some notes can appear stacked or not all notes are lined up nicely on the page, and so they can be a little confusing to keep track of when reading. ie- the components are on the far left of the page, their condition is in the middle of the page, and added notes are between them below. It’s a little scattered. In the next update I’m hoping they revamp and clean up the layout and modernize it to give it a more professional look.

I’ve struggled for more than 5 years with inspection reporting software from a nationally known home inspector training provider. I worked directly with their software development team pointing out bugs and programming flaws and suggesting needed features and improvements. In that period only 1 or 2 of countless issues were fixed. In fact it seemed like each bug fix/update addressed one issue while creating 2 new ones! Today I used Tap Inspect on the job for the first time and I was blown away with how easy and effective it is. I spent a week prior adding my custom comments and tweaking the report template to my liking and everything went off today without a hitch (2 hrs on the job, 30 min write-up)! The default templates will suffice for any novice inspector and the customizations that can be made to report templates will allow the most seasoned inspector to produce a good looking, thorough report for commercial, residential, new construction and any other type of inspection. I’m looking forward to a new chapter in my home inspection career. Thank you Tap Inspect! I look forward to growing with you. 4 out of 5 stars ‘cause I believe in perfection ;-)

I love this app! It’s very user friendly and adaptable to my style of inspection. Very easy to change templates and customize, based on the needs of the client (or me.) I’ve built enough of a library (previous comments) that I spend more time inspecting and being thorough, than I do report writing. I’m capable of finishing reports while on site, but generally complete and polish within an hour after I’m done (mainly, because I choose and like to edit and mark-up photos, all of which is done in the app.)

If you’re a new inspector, I can’t say enough about how well Tap will help you leave “no stone unturned.” It’s all about CYA, right? There are red question marks for everything you have not addressed, until you address it.
