The PhraseStorm system is the most innovative leap forward in field inspection technology since the first handheld devices came to the market over 15 years ago. It allows you to quickly describe what youre seeing with incredible detail using only a few swipes and taps of the screen. Multiple phrase sets are displayed simultaneously on the iPads generous screen speeding up entry even further.
Full property history is available at your fingertips on an item by item basis, providing you with comments from every report youve undertaken at a glance. The history of all of the photos taken is similarly available and you can choose to update a photo which helps you line up your shot and then shows the two images side by side in the final report.
Image tagging allows you to pinpoint your comments at multiple locations within the photo itself (see screenshots).
Once youre finished you can either email the report straight to the owners/tenants, download the PDF to your computer through iTunes or you can use the new AirPrint system to print your report straight from your iPad.
Those of you who purchased iPads with the hope of a comprehensive inspection system can be excited that this potential is finally being fulfilled. Red Nightingale strongly advise the purchase of a camera adaptor if you have an original iPad as our innovative photo placeholders and matching system make the process of attaching photos on the iPad incredibly easy. The built-in camera for the iPad2 is proving very useful however can have difficulty in low light situations. The newest iPad camera is amazing and removes the need for a separate camera!
For anyone who has been dreaming of highly detailed pre-lease and post-lease inspections on their iPhone or iPad, Pocket Reporter Pro is here! Try out Pocket Reporter Lite if youd like to see the system in action but arent willing to commit to Pro initially. Youll very quickly learn that Pocket Reporter is the best property inspection app available.
It is extremely important to note that there are legal implications in the use of Pocket Reporter for pre-lease condition reports. Some regions have legislative requirements as to the form that the printed report must take and we have addressed these where we are aware of them. You should obtain legal advice about the form of the report in your region if you are unsure and should you have concerns send them to [email protected] so that we can implement a new format for your region. Currently dedicated formats are provided for NSW and WA (require Quick Check Mode to be active) and QLD.
