kahua mobile Reviews

kahuamobile has made tremendous progress over the past year. They had some early issues, but those seem to have been resolved and lots of new features and UI improvements added.

Milestones section: You also cannot tell which milestones already have actuals without clicking into them as most of them only show estimated dates. No way to update multiple milestones from the same screen, have to click on each milestone to update. Status/Comments/Info: not accessible from mobile app, must be done from computer. PO/Contract Approval: they fixed the pin bug so I can approve, it just takes for-ev-er to disappear from my inbox after I approve it. File Manager: uploading photos sometimes doesn’t tell me it failed, I find out later when the file is empty. I didn’t see a way to rename files before uploading which would be nice. Meeting minutes: I’ve never tried as it is too clunky to set up initial minutes and you cannot copy templates from master projects. Useless for quick turn projects. Work breakdown structure: doesn’t seem to exist in kahuamobile ? No way to look at budget/allocations. Overall: there is no heading telling you which project you are updating on every section I have tried to use. It’s the worst for someone who 2nd guesses themselves. I would love to have a mobile friendly way to update my projects, this just isn’t useful. It is at least handy when you are up at 2:30am and remember that a milestone changed but don’t want to get out of bed to open the desktop version... or have 5-7 photos to upload because it’s a pain to transfer from phone to computer to kahua.. but more than a dozen photos will fail because it’ll take so long, you’ll get a phone call and the upload never makes it past the interruption. Feb 2021 Update Still 0 stars. I have no idea why it was important to change the logo from Orange to Blue but apparently it’s more important than ACTUALLY HAVING MOBILE PHOTO UPLOADS SAVE. I lost a bunch of completion photos because I deleted them after I thought they uploaded (in small batches per my earlier review) but whoops! Looking for them at close out and turns out they’ve gone. Thanks Kahua, I’m super glad my company saddled me with this “Sick UI” but terrible product.

Update 9/23: Kahua asked me to update. All above issues are still there… so… no change…

Great construction app with off line syncs, visual access to docs drawings and media and the ability to capture live media from the field

I always have a hard time signing in because Touch ID is always messed up. Now it’s telling me I have to update to sign in, taking me to kahuamobile store, but only displaying open button because I have the mist recent update installed already.
When I’m fortunate enough to get in, there isn’t a way to label pictures. You can add words to spellcheck dictionary. It’s just an overall worthless app.

App makes doing my work in kahua so much more convenient.

Always seem to have some sort of issue with viewing or downloading files on both the mobile app and desktop. With the new update once I open a file I am unable to close out of the file and go back to the search list. I need to restart kahuamobile and sign in again to do anything.

New release looks great
Nice intuitive and speedy UI

App constantly freezes and doesn’t work properly. I have to get an email sent in order to do a daily report when I should be able to load kahuamobile and go straight to it. Definitely has tons of bugs that need addressing

Need to fix the problem with uploading photos from the phone. You can not do more than 2-3 at a time

Have to sit and wait to see if it will load. Most of the time i have to close out kahuamobile and start over.

Keep up the great work!

Sluggish build of this entire platform. Not responsive and lacks intuitive menus and actions. Constantly crashes when opening messages window.

File Manager will not load the file list. This makes kahuamobile nearly useless.

kahuamobile is another great step in construction management.

Loving the new features. Especially mobile mark ups and QR code scanning. Opens many doors!
