I like how malleable it is in the field. I can (relatively) quickly add and remove items in the field.
The software is very dates and difficult to use. It crashes often and cannot run on a MAC.

Palm-Tech is great
Kommentare: My overall experience is very positive now that I have been able to integrate it with my scheduling software and reporting it makes my job so much easier I spend more time on the job than in the office which is what I like. I am not a paperwork kind of person and this is allowed me to free up a lot of my valuable time out of the office. Thank you Palm-Tech
Vorteile:
Palm-Tech has allowed me to customize my reports that are different from my competitors that I really enjoy and I can change it up whenever I want.
Nachteile:
The learning curve took me a while to navigate how to use this software and I’m still learning every day that I use it I am not a techie and I’ve had to overcome my own ideas of how it should work.

Palm-Tech Inspection Software
Kommentare: I have personally used Palm-Tech inspection software for my reports for many years. This is a great reporting program and very easy to use. Just as all software programs have a learning curve, once you learn it, it becomes easy. I recommend this to all inspectors.
Vorteile:
Ease of use and works on iPad and Tables. Great customer service. The program reduces my time in writing reports. Anyone not using this is working too hard!
Nachteile:
Wish it worked on MAC without parallel or similar program. Wish you could have illustrations automated into the sections with comments in the library. Wish comment sections could have multiple colors in each section. Such as deficiency is red, general comment in blue and information in green or etc.

Hi Scott - You have an older version of the software (bought 7 years ago) that has not been upgraded which means it is out of date by your choice. Our newer versions will be faster and have lots of new features. In our last call, (quite a few years ago) we were able to provide quick help and you indicated that your questions had been answered and your issue resolved. If you get in touch with us, we'll be happy to help you again.

Realtors and Clients love my report
Kommentare: I have been a home inspector for 30 years. I came into the digital age of report writing kicking and screaming six years ago. I originally purchased other reporting software but it was too complicated and if I have a hard time understanding a report then how can a buyer or agent understand it? Many of my competitors use other formats that have so much filler and disclaimer after disclaimer that I can't even stand to read them. I love the simple just the facts capability of Palm Tech and all of my clients and agents love it too. But if you like disclaimers and fluff you can add that too.
Vorteile:
Ease of use and clear reporting format.
Nachteile:
That I did not switch to it sooner.
Ryan

Vorteile:
Ease of use with picture insertion, pay for it one time and no more except updates
Nachteile:
Does not have integration with other apps or programs like other inspection software on the market

Save Time=Make More Money
Kommentare:
Great overall product. I am a fully licensed home inspector and I have used Palm Tech for 3 years across my desktop computer, tablet and phone.
Great customer support via phone if you ever get stuck.
Once you spend the time to add your own personal notes, such as common or recurring issues in a home, it incredibly speeds up report writing time.
I highly recommend Palm tech.
Vorteile:
Speeds up report writing time.
David
The best tool in my box
Kommentare: When my computer fails, help has always been just a phone call away.
Vorteile:
Easy customization and excellent support.
Nachteile:
I'm not sure I have any cons...Maybe the upfront cost, but I feel that over the years that was well worth it. I'm getting ready to upgrade to the next version soon. The spell check is not as good as Word.

Great Software!
Kommentare: We have been using PalmTech for about 3 years now. This is the 3rd. program we've used since becoming home inspectors. This is a great piece of software. I love that you can customize your report to whatever you want/need it to be. I would highly recommend this software to any home inspector. My real estate agents love the report. The reports are easy to read and understand.
Vorteile:
Customization

Not Bad - Better Than Most Give It Credit For
Kommentare: Overall I like the software, and I am a long-time user. Their customer service is WAY better than it used to be.... not great still, but light-years from where it was.
Vorteile:
I like how malleable it is in the field. I can (relatively) quickly add and remove items in the field
Nachteile:
Kinda clunky. If I find a defect onsite, I have to click a lot to actually add that defect into the report

Solid software that has been around for a while
Vorteile:
This software is easy to use and creates professional looking reports. It's solid software with a local office to back it up.
Nachteile:
It is a little dated in terms of look and feel. The software is also a little word heavy. Tech support may not be as instantaneous as some other software companies.
Lori
Easy to Learn and Customize
Vorteile:
Is easy to customize. Clients and Agents like the format of the easy to read reports
Nachteile:
The software does not handle large report files as well as I would like. One larger buildings where there are a few hundred pictures, the user experiences slow response time, and often program crashes.
Jason

Best report writing software ever

It gets the job done, until it doesn't.
Kommentare: I wouldn't recommend using Palm Tech if you have a Samsung Galaxy Tablet. I've lost entire inspections when the software crashed on the job site. The first time it happened I called customer support and they blamed my device. So I took their word for it, and figuring my device was defective I bought a new one (another Galaxy tab). Shortly after that the same thing thing happened again on a brand new device that only had 3 programs loaded outside of stock: Palm Tech, Easy WindMit Pro, and Easy 4 Point Pro. At the tail end of a marathon 8 hour inspection the device crashed while attempting to take a photo in Palm Tech. This had happened before, and usually I can get the information back, but this time I lost the entire inspection due to a corrupt file. Once again customer service blamed the device, and talked over me when I tried to explain that the device was brand new and that this had happened before where either the entire device crashes, or just Palm Tech crashes, and that it had happened on 2 new devices that had only been used for home inspection. The next time that it happened to me I called again to find out if they were having issues on Samsung Galaxies, and I got the exact same treatment. This time they blamed the device even though Palm Tech was the only program that crashed on it and lost my work. When I explained that the device didn't shut down, they blamed the wind mitigation program for blocking Pal Tech from taking picture. Not good. Here is customer service in a nutshell if you have an actual issue with the software not working properly: A person will answer the phone and you tell them your issue, they put you on hold for a minute or two, then they come back and tell you your device is at fault. I've called them several times for several different issues and each time I get the same treatment. They will not help you troubleshoot, and they've told me they don't know how.

Nice in the field Software
Kommentare: I use this on a Ipad in the field. It works out great. Only downside is the narratives, they are all bad and I had to put all my own narratives in.
Vorteile:
Layout and Flexiblity
Nachteile:
Pre loaded Narratives
mike
outstanding
Kommentare: I have used other home inspection software with mixed results. the ease and versatility of Palm-Tech Home Insp. Software is second to none. Their customer service representatives are always knowledgeable and helpful.
Vorteile:
security, customer service, ease of use
Nachteile:
the finer points and adjustments of an active report has a "learning curve" its best to practice on a non-active inspection
John
Palm Tech is a great app
Kommentare:
Been using this app dorore than 3 years. It is easy to use and intuitive.
Like the fact that I can Install this on many machines without purchasing individual licenses.
Vorteile:
Easy to use and the cloud features.
Nachteile:
Wish it had ability to work with videos in reports. Some of the default reports for Radon are not easily found. Support helped me figure these items out and work through them.

Only the best for Home Probe Alberta
Kommentare:
At Home Probe Alberta our initiative is to provide clear, accurate reports to our clients. The information that we provide them is vital to their home buying decision. To achieve our goal, we researched several inspection programs with a rating system and found that Palm Tech Inspector was most likely to benefit our needs.
The software is easy to navigate and over the last 12 years we have been able to adjust the templates as relevant topics become evident. Our diction library in the drop downs has made our report writing time more efficient, as we present our reports at the time of inspection.
We can split screen our Surface Pro to slide photos into the report. The program then provides the capability of adding notes and highlights to the photos.
Feedback from both clients and realtors has provided conclusive reassurance that our decision to use Palm Tech Inspector is the key to achieving our constant initiative of providing the data that our home buyers need to make an informed decision. John Lapointe homeprobealberta.com

Palm-Tech Home Insp. Software
Kommentare: Overall I feel this software is easy to use and makes great looking reports.
Vorteile:
This software has been easy to use and creates professional easy to read reports for my clients. I really like that you can send the reports via your cell phone.
Nachteile:
The software preforms great and I haven't noted anything I dislike so far. It is a great tool for my home inspection company.
Steve
It worked great until the upgrade. My iPads shut down and lose all information and photos.
Nachteile:
Shutting down in the middle of an inspection. Shutting down and losing all information in that category. Support staff gave me a few suggestions but then just threw up their hands and said "There's nothing else to do to fix it " I'm not looking forward to learning a new software in the middle of the busy season.

Palm-Tech Home Inspection Software
Kommentare:
I've been using this software for nearly 17 years and it's the very best there is.
My reports are so detailed and thorough that my past clients consistently refer their family and friends to me.
Mike
Palm-tech
Kommentare: Weak software, new release did not address bugs but went into new areas. Support people try to help and are responsive, but the software is so bad that even they can't help execute basic functionality.
Vorteile:
One time purchase, easy to modify comments and add photos.
Nachteile:
Poor simple customizations of templates. Adding page breaks and blank lines does not function. The General information page can't be modified to have the screen text match what is printed. No logos can be added to email template. So much basic functionality to supply a professional report can't be achieved.
