Inspections by HappyCo Reviews

by Ty Igna

Just spent hours building my template on the desktop version and when I go to my I phone app to test, it constantly crashes. Went with this company because of my property Managment software but will be stopping service. Look at other reviews, seems everyone is having a similar issue with how clunky Inspections is. Look for an alternative that actually works.

I cannot begin to express how unusable Inspections is. It is meant to make our lives easier, so why do I have to click 5 times to get to my camera roll? Why do I have to scroll through ALL my pictures all over again to get to the one I need? Why does Inspections crash if I leave it for too long? Why won’t Inspections tell me WHERE I missed an item? Why can’t I view all of my descriptions from my phone screen? Anything that’s too long for my screen I can’t read. Someone needs to take another look at the UI of Inspections and redo all of it in a way that ACTUALLY makes the job easier. Honestly, I’d rather do a paper inspection rather than this mess!

I’ve been a user through Buildium for several years. I use Inspections heavily in the summer. You just can’t rely on it. If you are making a one time standard report it’s fine. But move in move out reports don’t work well, aren’t reliable across iPhone and iPad and as a paying customer, support is nice but slow. It’s buggy and klunky and should be more polished for its age here. I just can’t rely on it at our critical time of year. Plus be aware there are different partner versions that do less than the full version.

There is always room for improvement. Overall Inspections works as intended. It may be a clunky a-b process, but will give you a great report in the end. What I really do not understand is we live in the world of $1-$6 apps. Now I understand how in app purchases work. They are asking for hundreds of dollars for a yearly subscription. They used to charge by the report which made more sense.

I’m dumbfounded on their pricing structure. I would not recommend unless you have 100 plus properties.

Is there a way to auto add my name for signature after I complete a report so I don’t have to add it every time?

Is there a way to auto populate or permanently add recipients at the email setup. i.e. I email my reports to the same people every time. I have to search through my contacts to add a recipient or type it out and also to cc or bcc myself. Hi

Is there a way to make sure the emailed report created through your app can be confirmed as “sent”?

by Msztrinidad

This is dumb but I downloaded Inspections and for the life of me I cannot register
It’s only asking me for email and password which since I didn’t register, I don’t have 🤦🏽‍♀️
Tried clicking the contact sales tab - which it’s not allowing my email, therefore no button to click to speak with someone
Help!?

Wish there was way to change addresses once submitted, my address are very similar has happen to me, and it frustrating that I cannot make it right

by Southern Realtor

Love Inspections but my trial period is over. It keeps telling me to choose a plan but can’t find out how to do this. Please let me know.

Great app. Has made my job much easier! One update is a must... just purchased an iPhone 11 and was excited use the ultra wide angle lens. Little did I know that you can’t use the phones native camera functions and are limited to only one aspect ratio. When doing this app, it’s helpful to be able to capture the entire room with an ultra wide. Please update!

For a busy property management office it’s been very helpful with documenting a move in or out. Very easy to use!

by DisappointedbyStaff

Very usable most of the time, a few glitchy details but plenty of flexibility. Room for improvement but I recommend it!

I am a roofing contractor... I have used Inspections for 5 years with great success to create proposals, service orders, contracts, roof certifications and invoices. I email my Customer’s and with one click, the “job” details are before their eyes. The invoice method is always appreciated by my customers because of the before, in progress, and completion photos that I am able to include in my Happy Inspector document. 99% of my Customer’s don’t get on the roof and some are out of town / state... Inspections allows me to give them an up close experience of the work we did on their roof. This makes he Customer happy because a picture is worth a thousand words. That happy customer pays quickly and I like to get my money on time. Thanks to Happy Inspector my Customer’s tend to write checks immediately after reviewing my Happy Inspector invoice.

Inspections is good. Simple to use. What else can I say. Try it.

by Vincerevitae

I’ve been reading a bunch of the reviews and just find them all to be a bit absurd.. Inspections runs perfectly.. I literally have never had my app crash once in the last two/three years we have been using it as a property. Obviously you have to make sure your device and app are kept updated otherwise you will have issues but that’s normal for literally all apps. It’s common sense. Literally the only thing I would add to Inspections is a feature that would either save my name for signature so I do t have to type it out every time or save the name and signature like a drop down menu to select who is signing. Otherwise Inspections and program is a 9.5/10. Also love that I can pull up my inspection on the computer and type it out there. Love it!

I love using Inspections for our property this app at our rentals!

by Lilrich05

Very user friendly. New user and it so to the point and direct. Makes missing smaller things harder

by Heather Maggio

Inspections is perfect for keeping me on task and walking me through each home so I don’t lose track of what I’m supposed to be doing and how I’m supposed to be documenting the condition. Easy to look things up over heads of management.

I have a property management & home check service in Arizona. I have been using Happy Inspector in my business for over 7 years. It is excellent tool to evaluate & report on their properties to my Owners. It is very easy to use and very adaptable on the fly for various situations. I highly recommend it. Bob

by Carlin Symmes

Happy Inspector is the perfect app for doing our routine property evaluations. We were looking to get away from paper and pen reports and found HappyInspector. It has been great. After almost 2 years of using Inspections, we can’t think of trying anything else. Easy interface to use and you can customize reports to whatever you need. Reports are synced and easily sent to our managers and owners. Highly recommend Inspections.

Also to their customer service. They are phenomenal. As we have used Inspections , we have ran into bugs and issues that get updated swiftly. HappyCo customer service is great. They helped us through all our technical issues when they popped up. Highly recommend this company.

by Adam Woodstock

My property management company has been using this product for years because of the quality of the product and speedy response of their customer service.

by Tayzlor

Plans start at - wait for it $499 per month? Or if you want to try using another app Thru the opaque buildium app -$47 a month.

All for an app to fill in fields.
In the 90’s this software would have cost $70 to use forever. The whole drug dealer solution:

Don’t bother. Look elsewhere.

by Walter F Lewis

Useless app provides zero value, better off with pen and paper and a camera phone.

by HoJoJr

What about Property Managers who have to inspect common area and not a unt? We need to generate a report for a HOA community/folder without having to select a unit. Please consider.

For the solo property manager/owner it lacks online access to manage properties. Purchased solo 5 plan to try and gain access to a report I created but was locked out after 14 day trial. Had to rely on the iPhone/iPad app to email. Report would not send to my public domain accounts ( suspect public domain account restricted attachment size but was not able to confirm). Finally got the report after 3 days of troubleshooting and using a private domain account. Great overall template and walk through. Love the ease of use and application for a thorough walk through, just lacks support for PC access to manage reports and properties for the small owner/property manager.

1. Export to MS Excel
2. Export notes without images
3. Organize properties into folders: eg weekly,
Monthly, quarterly, or by client e.g Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae
4. Weather conditions at inspection time
5. Export or report with images and notes sorted by rooms. Currently all images appear at the end

Edit: 5 stars now that it supports the X screen!
