✓ Don't buy itIt's a trick , you buy this and if you want to get prices to start working on this you have to spent even more to get there . Good job guys , I bet you earn your money !.HalamanabandbubuVersion: 3.0.2

✓ Not a fanBought this app and just didn’t like it..TrxbuckVersion: 3.2.1

✓ Not pleasedI guess I thought it had estimating and prices in the app....213dbVersion: 3.3.1

✓ ThoughtfulI’ve been using the app on iPhone’s for years now and it’s a great app to use. I’ve always had great customer service here but recently I’ve experienced the true nature of capitalism. I was looking into downloading the app for my MacBook but realized that I couldn’t afford the $40+ cost for this app. I reached out to customer service for a possible slight reduction in the price (this is during Covid-19 shutdowns) and literally received no response and was completely ignored. So, I decided I would not get the app here but went ahead and moved to a different app instead. Customer service is important and the foundation for our businesses. Best.Lawrence_109_AVersion: 3.4

✓ EstimateNot compatible with the other one on the iPad.GregowiczVersion: 3.6

✓ Run away - reviews are written by the developerThis is just a template. Not helpful at all Very clunky to use and very expensive. I definitely have buyers remorse..NeilhetheringtonVersion: 3.0.3

✓ Great start, but...Let me start by saying this app does a fantastic job of replacing a relatively complicated FileMaker system I built over the years to do estimates. It works great and it is very helpful to do estimates as I do a site survey. But, and this is a HUGE but, this app is currently half-baked. It's a Universal app, so it works on iPad and iPhone, and there's a Mac app. That's great. Here's the but... There is absolutely no way to get data between them. None. If I do an estimate on my iPad, it stays there. Same deal with iPhone, and the Mac. There's no iCloud, no Dropbox, not even emailing a file back and forth. Nothing. If you choose to use these apps with these limitations, make sure you have iCloud backup turned on, and you go into settings and make sure this app is set to back up to iCloud. If you don't and your iPad is lost or stolen, you have lost your business documents. It's a problem with other apps, too, but with CCE, there's no Dropbox, Box, email, Google Drive or, if you're like me and never plug into a computer, iTunes backups. The developer is very responsive and says he's working on syncing. I'd be happy just to have an email back-and-forth option while he works out the horrors of Core Data and iCloud syncing..JimmylittleVersion: 1.7.8

✓ Misleading!You can download the app for free, but then they charge you over $20 a little later! That needs to be fixed! The price should be shown before you download!!! I guess I’ll never see my money again!!!.Jesus Saves!88Version: 3.3.1

✓ Great app...butI am a handyman, and love using this app. It helps me produce some very professional looking documents for bids, estimates and work orders for my customers. People seem to take you much more seriously when you have legit looking paperwork. ...The only thing I really wish it could have is the capability to sync projects between phone, Ipad, and computer. I use the app to take down information about my customers and begin building my estimate. And if I could start on my computer while im on the phone, and then finish with my phone or ipad when im on the jobsite it would make this app much more useful. Otherwise great app. I love the customization and comprehensive details you can include in the estimate..Gibsonsurfer85Version: 2.3.6

✓ Too few UpdatesThis app had potential and is somewhat useful. However it has changed little if at in 2 years which is a shame. It has very few options and customization is limited. If you use the cost books (sold separately) this app may be for you. If you plan to add a lot of your own customized items and costs you are likely to be disappointed. The inability to import from spreadsheet or CSV file is crippling and seems like an intentional omission to steer users to buy expensive cost books annually. It also has no sync, back-up (excluding iTunes), or export options. I bought this app a couple years ago and used it for awhile, but soon determined that it was too time consuming for a fairly basic estimator. It does work well and is easy to use, but needs considerable improvement to the custom cost book to make it useful for me. It should also be $5 or less since it really needs the optional cost books to be of much value..Som1elseVersion: 2.2.3

✓ Good STARTNice start but lacking a few features at would enable this app to be my "go to app" for estimating. Would like to see the following must have features; 1. Currently calculates tax on total estimate, need to have option to calculate on material or labor or both; 2. Markup and overhead work same as tax above, would like ability to pick different rates for different cost items and labor and materials independently; 3. Only allows one labor rate and total hours per cost item, if you have more than one person with different rates does not allow to enter; 4. Only allows one lump some for materials, would be nice to enter all your materials and associated cost and it total up for you. Otherwise need separate app or spreadsheet to do that first then enter total lump sum for all materials in this app; 5. I like the ability to have your customer sign the estimate on the screen of your iPad but it does not automatically enter the date or allow it to be done manually; Wish list features; 1. Ability to integrate estimate directly into accounting software like quickbooks; 2. Desktop version so I can use computer when at office, and transfer between the two; Would be perfect app for me and many others in the trades with the above mentioned features..A.R.O.-123Version: 1.0.5

✓ Good but..It's overall a good app. Takes a long time to get it set up how you like with your costs. You do have to buy cost books of you want help with certain task you don't price regularly. Good looking estimates but my biggest problem is its not synced with my other devices. If I make a estimate on my phone, I can't access it on my iPad, huge problem for me. I downloaded a free app called joist and that even does syncs my estimates in of my devices so I don't understand how I paid $20 for this app and paid like $65 for their one cost book and still don't have this convenience. I hope they add this feature soon, would be very helpful. I haven't even tried to use this app on my Mac yet, you probably need to buy the app again for Mac..1steve001Version: 3.0.4
