Fieldwire Review

PROS: Fieldwire helps make everyday tasks easier because of its user-friendly app.

CONS: It would be great if we're notified if extra charges are made.

PROS: I like that with Fieldwire, we can update, track and export as PDF all our component discoveries onsite, that managers can quickly access and share with our colleagues at the office without having to request the info from us.

CONS: Being able to view field pictures taken with iPads using Android phones should be a glitch fix since it's uploaded on the same platform. It could be an isolated case but has happened intermittently over 12 months.

PROS: I like that we're able to document and mark up our plans more efficiently because we can do it online, share with our subs, and then store our files and plans on the same platform. This way, mistakes happen less in the field.

CONS: Being able to print our documents from the program would be a huge plus.

PROS: It's so easy to upload fieldwork plan materials, from tasks to pictures and other data. It's so much faster than other solutions tools.

CONS: I wish we can invite temporary collaborators for free, perhaps this can be added to the UI fix wishlist for future updates.

PROS: I like being able to access all the details of our projects without fuss or delay because we keep everything in a single platform, including notes and images.

CONS: It would be great to add more features to the mobile version of the app, like being able to mark up images on phones regardless of the operating system.

PROS: I like having the ability to mark up the plans and have our team in the office see my updates immediately.

CONS: Being able to add electrical symbols to our plans during a field visit, instead of doing it in another program would be very helpful. It saves time because we don't have to take extra steps to upload extra inputs to Fieldwire from third-party programs.

PROS: I like that Fieldwire helped us organize and revise drawings and taking photos, which we use a lot for credit card expenses.

CONS: On my wishlist: being able to upload videos and have all desktop features available on mobile. Glitches like lags after updating drawings can be avoided. We found we had to 'forced close' the app to get reflect our tweaks on the drawings.

PROS: I like that we don't have to carry our drawings around all the time because we're able to compile the documents for our projects and store them in one place that is accessible by the team. We're able to mark our drawings too, so they're more organized and this saves us a lot of browsing time.

CONS: I'd love a daily report as an additional feature. Other issues, I've already raised and resolved with the support team.

PROS: I like that Fieldwire gives me quicker access to the latest versions of my drawings and tasks in real-time. I can also assign tasks a lot more easily, and group our work accordingly in one platform that is accessible on both my mobile phone and desktop.

CONS: Being able to identify tasks with more color-coded patterns and an improvement in the printing process would be a welcome development.

PROS: Fieldwork enables contractors like me to have a better handle of materials onsite, especially when we're working on several projects at once. Our essential back-and-forth communication is a lot more collaborative, especially with our subcontractors -- some of whom have started using Fieldwire too.

CONS: There's no doubt that issues about the pen tool being able to write more smoothly could be very easily sorted.

PROS: Because Fieldwire enabled us to store everything in one place, it's a lot easier to access updates to our projects' drawings and documentation.

CONS: It would help if we can add more line styling and shading to the drawing markup tools.

PROS: I like being able to upload documents, and for our team in the field to do the same, plus pictures. I also like managing our plans through the app that everyone has access to because it's so easy to load and share with everyone in the group.

CONS: It would be great if we can be offered options on several features: being able to check the price range according to monthly data on pages, projects or users; being able to print plans in Windows format for our field and office staff; being able to export the latest plan list and compare it with the old version.

PROS: I like that they have both desktop and phone apps, where it's easier for me to create parameters and tasks for each team member.

CONS: Mostly aesthetics could make the categories section less confusing and reconsidering the odd, square-shaped pictures.

PROS: It's user-friendly and helps keep our field staff promptly informed about any updates from the main office.

CONS: It would be great if we have a clearer breakdown of items in our cost and if the package can be more flexible so we can take out things we don't really use or need.
