TOTAL for Mobile

Ben using for years, love it for my business

Had not had any issues with it since I starting to use it years ago, but today I could not start a new file or open an old one. I keep getting a load error. I had to resort to paper and pencil. I used it last weekend with no problems so I assume it's the update. Please fix this I dont want to go back to graph paper.

Since the most recent update I cannot even open a new assignment to complete an inspection. It is now useless and I have to pull out an old phone to complete an inspection.

App is using camera in the background. Not acceptable. Edit: this appears to have been corrected in the latest release.

Here's what's no longer functioning with the latest update: can't enter the overall condition of the property (selection just keeps cycling), flooring and wall no longer transfers.

App is hanging up in condition and quality rating fields. Quick lists wont appear in repsective fields.

Love it. Just wish it would geo code the addresses in the field then correct the map on the desktop like it says. But it doesn't work. Been trying to get that fixed for 2 years to no avail.

crashes trying to update status

The app is very inclusive and does quite a bit of information gathering and calculations. However, they claim that it works with Leica devices. I've worked on getting the device to sync with the app for days now, no matter what menu I search through, there is no option to connect with the device. There are plenty of options for what to do when the device is connected though. I've contacted customer service and was denied any help with the application.

Good (not great) appraisal app, and very expensive especially considering it's initial large investment cost and it's annual renewal fees. LOTS of room for imorovement. Only reason I purchased this is because there are no other choices. Had there been options, most likely would not have chosen this very highly priced app.

If you are still using a clipboard and paper you are wasting your time!

Fantastic for calculating the square metres of irregular shaped rooms a lot of saving time love it

A great time saver. Collect all your data in the field, sync with the cloud and your computer and your ready to finish up your appraisal report....Love it.

Everytime a pic is uploaded the app crashes!

Life

With the new update, when I tap on a room in the sketch and use a QuickList response for flooring, the response disappears and doesn't transfer to the fielddata file, which is annoying. Don't understand why you would take that away or even have a field for QuickList responses if they're not going to be saved? Same problem in the Additional Features field, the last QuickList response disappears.

For the busy appraiser this is a must have app.

I wish the 1004D was compatible with this mobile app.

I switched from ACI primarily because of this mobile software. It beat Phoenix mobile without really trying. Works flawlessly on my Note 5 and Galaxy Pro tablet.

It Rocks

Here's a little something they don't say... For this mobile app to work, you have to have an account with alamode cloud services or vault. That's why it's free to D/L, you just can't U/L or D/L your files!! It appears that it syncs files only via vault, alamode cloud services. It's not like before, that your pc would communicate with the mobile device via network or USB. It's truly a step backwards, I have no intension of using this cloud service only app.

This is a very helpful app. Makes the transition from the field to the office effortless. Thanks for all the hard work you Alamode folks have put into making appraiser's jobs easier.

A previous version from this developer used to automatically calculate the perimeter of the properties or structures in the CAD sketch. This was a very useful feature, and is no longer in the "info" of the CAD sketch. Please bring it back. The code is already written, and there is space on the "info" menu screen for it to be added. Would be 5 stars, but this feature missing from previous versions knocks it down to 2.

Long time user of Alamode.

Very helpful for gathering data in the field. Not just for form filling but helps you with your notes, workfile and navigation.

Love the app. Great time saver, but wish I could complete the entire form.

Better than before, but still needs a lot of work. when you select fields on android for location (ie adverse, commercial) it doesn't transfer over the field properly. same thing with remodeled/updated and the timeline. also, i input the subject's situs into the report as a "scanned document" on total desktop, but that doesn't show up on total android. one feature i'd love to see is on the sketch, you tap on the room name, and then take a photo, and enter the flooring. edit 09/09/2015: apparently you can take photos from within the sketch. that's fantastic!

Overall is a good app, but it doesn't allow to change the type size in the sketch. Lines are 6 points as default and area labels 8 points. I wish I could change both of them to 10 points. This is something that I have to do manually by selecting each number and label after I transfer the report to my desktop. Also, when connected to the Disto it doesn't allow to round the number readings to the nearest digits. Update 7/29/2015 Is it possible to have the size of the numbers and labels as 10 points.

This works very well

"Loved it" Well I use this app every day and it's been working just fine. But now it doesn't let me add data from the drop down menu. I have to add everything manually. Which isn't hard to do just annoying as hell. When I try and use geo mapping it crashes. Plus another annoying thing is the sketcher. When moving an area our doesn't allow you to place where you want, most of the time. Which is frustrating because the point of this app is to eliminate double doing data entry. Motor RAZR Maxx HD

Still needs some work crashes on samsung note tablet

05/27/15 The current state of this app is stable. The most recent major update made things easier to work with and seemed to reduce the amount of time it took me to fill in data. There still are some hiccups, the most notable one being that once you fill in some sections, it jumps to the bottom of the form into a completely different section. Example: When under the critical items tab, I select asphalt for street type from the drop down suggestion box and the form jumps down to the condition of improvements section at the bottom. Some of the glitches I was having with the sketch program appear to be fixed. Due to the stability and functionality of the current version, I give it 4 stars, with 1 star that could be for improvement of some of the minor annoyances.

Biggest leap in productivity since the PDF writer. Use it as a glorified clip board (not a full blown report writer) and you will save 30 minutes per report... Minimum!

Great app. Would love to have the ability to complete a final completion report, sign, and send from out in the field. That's one of the few things I can think of that would really make this complete. Otherwise a fanastic app that I use daily and can't live without. Runs flawlessly and very dependable. A real workhorse. Just what you come to expect from Alamode. And as usual, the absolute best tech support in the business. If you want to get the absolute best use out of this app get Galaxy Note 3 phone!

The new layout is awesome! But it doesn't work on the number 1 android device Samsung Galaxy tab S 8.4. Called technical support and all they say is that no one else is calling in on the issue. I've tried this on 3 different Samsung devices (galaxy Pro 8.4, galaxy tab S8 .4 and galaxy note 3 phone) and all the same. It will not register entries in the critical items where you enter property data. It will at 1st but eventually it starts screwing up. I even went to the extent of resetting the Samsung galaxy tab S 8 .4 and loaded total for mobile only. It still didn't work. That's a sad situation. Ended up returning the galaxy tab S 8 .4. Having to go with Apple iPad now, just in order to get towork. We are in high season now being that it is April. I have been working for months on developing my workflow with mobile appraising. And now I have to start all over again with a completely different device and system. This is really screwing up my business. If you're serious about getting started with mobile appraising. Forget about the Samsung devices unfortunately.

This verison almost always jumps to the bottom of the page while working through the critical data field.... Very annoying

Only a minor gripe: for some reason the app goes to landscape mode on it's own once in a while, even if my phone is not in landscape mode. I don't see a way to turn that off in settings. Love the app, though, thank you.

Sketch would not save; I'm sure a patch is in the works. Good overall app. Time saver/handy.

Sketch glitches send me back to the older version
