Run an inspection from your phone

Work the checklist room by room and capture photos as you go.

Last updated August 26, 2026


The mobile inspection screen showing checklist items and a photo capture control.
The inspection screen on your phone: tap each item OK or flag it, and add photos as you go.
  1. Open the property and tap New Inspection while connected. For a remote property, load the visit before you leave coverage.
  2. Tap through each checklist item, marking it OK or flagging a problem.
  3. Take photos of anything notable; they attach to the current item automatically.
  4. Tap Complete when you leave. If you're offline, completion stays saved on the device and report drafting can wait in the queue until you reconnect.
Tip · The field app uses large tap targets and high-contrast text so it's easy to use one-handed in bright sunlight. For preparation, status meanings, reconnect behavior, and a quick confidence test, read Work offline during an inspection.
