What it does well

- Opened inspections stay on the phone, and changes to them are queued for sending.
Where it is weaker
- Templates cannot be imported or exported, and they have no versioning.
- Clients are free-text fields on an inspection, and there is no client database.
- The only CSV export is the inspection list's columns.
- Reports carry no website.
- On the phone, creating an inspection, choosing a template and opening a report need a connection.
- Queued changes send only while the app is open; the phone app will not publish an inspection while its changes are waiting to send or have failed, and failed changes stay on the device until retried or discarded.
