Took me a minute to figure out how to customize the fields but after that it's very useful in helping me track my orders as most of them come on word of mouth. Great concept! Nice application and development! ????

This is a great time app for keeping up with multiple jobs for multiple clients with multiple job tasks. I would rate it 5 Stars if it either had more document capabilities or the data could be easily exported to apps that handle, estimates, invoicing and receivables. I use it now and like it a lot, but I to double input a lot of data.

*Update* a year later we still use this app and I wanted to mention that the folks behind the app are so helpful. They respond great and we have been super happy with this app in our small metal fab shop. (2015-We've only used it for a short time actively...but it seems to be a good tool for our metal design shop.)

App is great but is there anyway you can stop it adding every client to your phones contact list? When you might do 20 different jobs a week it doesnt take long for it to fill your contact list on your phone.

Perfect app for contractors looking to run their business professionally. Paired with joist you can pretty much do all your office work from your phone or tablet. I've barely used the many features 4w has to offer and I'm excited to learn them all. Get this app! I never write reviews but app was worth the time. Thanks 4w!!!

Bought a house that was cheap and busted. Needed to make a list of what to do. One thing I don't like, is that it nags constantly for feedback. I wish it had a way to record how far along the job is, but that's not too serious

Typically don't rate things unless they earn my high standard mark. This application exceeds this standard and distinguishes itself as The Best Management Tool for service professionals. I can't wait to begin using the synchronization features when our need reaches the multi-user level. Also looking forward to updates and expansions.

I love this app and could not sleep at night with over 100 work orders at any given time. I had one small error but it was on my end and the developer immediately helped me fix the issue. I cant say enough good things about this app and what it's done for us.

It has some nice features and several that will never be used. I don't like the fact that it can send messages without my knowing or consent. Which is the main reason for uninstalling.

I think it's a GREAT program. The only reason it got 3 stars instead of 5 is because of all the extra nonsense access it needs from your phone...who knows what info it's extracting and who it's sending that info to.
