The iOS app just got its biggest update yet, and it's live in the App Store now — update to get it. Two things changed: the app can finally tell you when something happens, and an inspection you start on your phone can be finished properly back at the desk.
The app used to be quiet. A client could book a slot, sign the agreement, and pay, and the app would say nothing about any of it — you'd find out from your inbox, or the next time you opened the web app.
That's fixed. The app is now organized around a bottom tab bar — Inspections, Notifications, and Account — and the Notifications tab shows everything the bell in the web app shows:
Tapping a notification opens the inspection it belongs to. The settings that used to hide behind the small profile icon in the corner — your subscription, the privacy policy, signing out, deleting your account — now live in Account, alongside the new notification switches.
The first time you open the Notifications tab, the app asks whether you'd like alerts on your phone. Say yes and you'll hear about bookings, signatures, and payments as they happen — even when the app is closed.
Not everything deserves to interrupt a crawlspace inspection, so each kind has its own switch. Find them in Account on your phone, or under Settings → Notifications on the web: booking requests, agreement signatures, payments, and organization updates. Turning one off stops the phone alert; the notification still appears in the tab and the email still arrives as before. If you'd rather not be alerted at all, decline the prompt — the Notifications tab keeps working either way.
The app can also start an inspection in seconds: address, template, done. No clients, no fee, no agent — that's deliberate, and it's exactly what makes the form fast enough to use standing in a driveway.
But it used to leave a gap at the other end. Back at the desk, an inspection you'd started on your phone looked exactly like every other one, right up until you tried to publish its report and got told to add client details first.
Any inspection started from the phone carries a Draft badge — in your inspection list, on the dashboard, and in the navbar of the inspection itself. The status filter has a Draft option too, so you can pull up everything still waiting on details in one click.
Open the actions menu on a draft in your inspection list and choose Complete Draft, or use the banner at the top of the inspection. Either way you get four short steps:
That last step is where everything the driveway form skipped finally gets decided: whether to attach a pre-inspection agreement, whether to send the client a booking link instead of picking a time yourself, whether buyer agents can build repair requests off the published report, and when to automatically ask the client to pay. All of it arrives pre-filled from the defaults you've set under Settings, so for most drafts it's a fee and a date and you're finished.
Auditable — the setting that locks an inspection against edits once its report is published — can only be chosen here, and it can't be changed once the draft is complete. If a job needs a locked paper trail, set it while you're finishing the draft.
Your templates aren't part of this flow: you already picked those on site. If you need to append another one, the Add Template card on the inspection's details page still does that.
