Iv got an android smart phone and am after an app to input periodic inspection reports for elecsa. Can anyone recommend some proffesional looking software that would do this on an android system.
Cheers

Are you sure you want to type out full EICRs on a smartphone ? Sounds like a right nightmare.

Or a tablet.

I use icertifi Dan. Not sure if that's just apple or not.

Also use icertifi ! Easy to use but do echo Andy78's words that it can be a bit mindful shall we say !!!

Im using AmTech at the moment, you do need to buy a license though

Works flawlessly on the ipad, uploads to the amtech cloud, which can then be logged into, reviewed and printed off

Ok, thanks everyone for your input. Im between icertify and easycert. Icertify comes in at £49.99 per year and easycert at a one off fee of £220. I don't mind paying extra for superior stuff but do u know if it's genuinely that much better to be so much dearer?
Some of you said icertify can be problematic. What exactly do you mean.
What I'm after is
1. Professional looking certs
2. Easy to use and navigate through
3. Reliable
4. Value for money

Does icertify do all this and save me £150 for the next year or should I fork out for easycert?

Thanks for all your help guys..
Dan

I use PIRform - that has an annual cost but when you identify issues it includes the relevant BS regs numbers for you automatically. Pay your money, take your choice!

The furthest i would go is minor works on a computer. Started an eicr got half way through and it shut down for an update...... I lost the lot.

Turn off auto updates mate.

Even on windows never have auto updates switched on.

Set to download and notify you instead. Then wait till you go to bed to update

iCertifi isn't bad. Why it doesn't automatically allow you to select dates in some date fields though is beyond me. Its 70% there......

Is it better that crap handwriting on a clipboard - yes!
