Stroma Certification Scheme Stroma software app?

[Nicebloke]

I installed the stroma ipad app and it keeps coming up as 'untrusted enterprise developer,' and won't open so wondered if there is anyway around it. I can still use the member portal to issue certs so no big deal, but was going to give this a try to use offline, although I suspect old fashioned paper is probably quicker.

Does anyone use the stroma iPad app, and if so is it even worth the effort of installing?

Personally, I hate STROMAs' E-Cert no wonder they give it away. I use iCertifi, now that is a good app. £50. p.a. You get fire certification, visual EICR, danger notice and PAT testing software all included. It has satellite location of address and enters it, default values blah blah, no I don't work for them btw.

I tried using Stroma's Ecert - its RUBBISH and can't be used without a live internet connection.....

Thanks for the replies I won't bother to chase Stroma up to sort it then.

I agree, Stroma's E-Cert is a steaming pile of poo. I've wasted several hours trying to make it sing, but no joy...
Save your time, life is too short!
AFAIK, Stroma don't do paper cert pads either.

I really cannot see the issue with Stromas software, it is really a piece of ----, it can be used without an internet connection (on a tablet anyway). Either I am a software genius or you lot are missing something. The only downside I find is that you cannot pre-populate fields.

Ah I get your problem now, you have to follow the guide below , stick with it once yet get over the pain threshold it is easy, when I use an ipad I set up a cert prior to going to job, fill it in offline and then merge when I get home, simples!

@ Nicebloke did you get the e cert software working as I have got the same issue untrustworthy enterprise developer unfortunately I have Mac desktop too so can’t even download the desktop version to get my paperwork moving grrrrr.

I would recommend that you use a 3rd party software package - then if you change schemes , you don't have to leave all your certificates behind .....

Have you read my post above, there are simple instructions as to how to get it to work. However i eventually gave up and now use icertifi cloud, that being said I am considering going back to a pad and crayons as all these software systems are fairly carp, think I may design my own template!

I did thanks and found it confusing? I still don’t know if :-
A the cert was completed correctly, no way to preview it,
B if it got sent to the client, infuture I will email myself then send on to customer.
C I am used to recording the certificate number against the part p registration I didn’t see anything on this?
I will persevere for another couple of goes but may look at icertify myself, but my van is off road and now being told it is possibly fuel pump now.

Always send the cert to yourself not the client, and there is a no reference to the cert on the Part P notification!
