### "Top Tier Software"

December 30, 2022

5.0

I love this. This helps make inspections much faster and gives me a flow. I can put reminders of things in my report that helps me. Love it

Pros

I really love how I can customize things and make it fit to what I’m trying to convey to my clients. And the agents love it

Cons

The only thing I dislike is that after so long at an inspection, my pictures won’t show up and it won’t allow me to point to defects.

### "Great Program & Customer Services"

June 21, 2023

5.0

Pros

The program works on a phone, pad, laptop, and computer. It is versatile and can adapt to any environment I am in during inspection.

Cons

I often wish the help desk was open on weekends. I do a lot of my reports on Saturdays and Sundays, and every now and then, it would be nice to have access to the help desk. The youtube videos have bailed me out multiple times however so I am getting to the point where I just look for the video.

Reason for choosing Spectora

I liked how it worked, my trial run went well, and the sales staff was remarkable.

### "Love me some Spectora"

October 31, 2023

5.0

I love using Spectora for my home inspection reports. When I first ventured into this industry, I was using (not by choice) an outdated software program that took me hours upon hours to complete a report. Once I started utilizing Spectora and leaning the ins/outs, I was literally finishing my reports on sight. So glad I chose Spectora!

Pros

User friendly, helps save time on the reporting process.

Cons

Little costly, as a small business owner it's a little much.

### "Great product and worth the money"

December 5, 2022

5.0

Product to great and like the repair request tool for realtors.

Pros

Ease of moving comments from one section to another along with all the other template editing features.

Cons

The payment system is not used and should be deactivated so clients do not see the feature and think they can pay there.

Reason for choosing Spectora

Ease of use and FAR less learning curve. Overall I was comfortable within 3 months and the tech support chat box is Awesome and those working there are very friendly and helpful.

Good software. Need to work some of the kinks.

Pros

The realtors and clients love the layout of the report.

Cons

Some issues when conducting a home inspection with a guest house. Also, not user friendly when conducting a re-inspection.

Reason for choosing Spectora

The layout of reports and experience form other users.

### "Stand Apart With This Software"

October 20, 2022

5.0

Pros

Spectora is fairly simple to use and learn. It is also flexible enough that it can easily be customized for your business and reports are custom for each property inspected.

Cons

I've encountered a few glitches in the field. This can happen with any software.

### "Simply put, The BEST Home Inspection software out there!"

June 11, 2021

5.0

As a brand new inspector and business, I can see how Spectora will allow for growth as I progress. I have already been looking into using their Advanced feature as I believe that is where my fastest growth will occur.

Pros

It was extremely easy to set up my template(s). I was able to use an existing template and make the required changes to meet my states SOP's. The 5 free inspection trial allows you the freedom to use the program risk free. I do however warn you, you will not need the 5 free reports to know beyond a shadow of a doubt that this is the only program you need!

Cons

The only "Con" I can think of is that I have far too much free time on my hands ;)

### "Spectora. Makes running a business and Inspections easy. "

September 12, 2023

5.0

Awesome

Pros

Makes running a business and Inspections easy. It's a complete package with Inspection and financial solutions.

Cons

Multi property Inspections on same account makes difficult with this app. Same address copies to all the reports, and there's no way to change those fields manually.

June 26, 2023

5.0

Pros

By far the best app I’ve ever used for home inspections.

Cons

Sometimes photos are slow to load, but this could be due to poor cell service and not necessarily an issue with the app.

### "Spectora Software: Great Product with a great price"

April 27, 2023

5.0

Excellent product. Its been a game changer for providing high quality reports for our customers.

Pros

I like the ease of use to update reports, posting pictures with being able to highlight areas of concern. I also like the fact that when a customer receives a report its professional and easy to follow.

Cons

I'm not a big fan of trying to use it from a phone. It takes longer on site and can be hard to read on a phone.

Reason for choosing Spectora

Excellent reviews and highly recommended by other inspectors.

### "Best Move I Ever Made"

October 20, 2020

5.0

I could not be happier with my experiences with Spectora... seriously, it's THE BEST product you could ever hope to purchase to help your home inspection business grow.

Pros

The overall elevation of my professional interface with clients is what I am most happy about. I cannot tell you how many compliments I receive from clients, realtors, attorneys and contractors who see my reports. Many times, the feedback is the same- I have never seen a more thorough or professional-looking report!

Cons

Well the biggest con is actually what helps makes it so powerful... ramp-up time to populate my defect narratives and customizing to my preferences took a long time... but obviously it's a catch-22 problem because in order for it to save me time on site (which it DOES), it does take a lot of time up front in order to customize it to your liking.

### "Game Changer"

October 13, 2022

5.0

100%! I have loved it since the day I started using it

Pros

Before using Spectora, I could inspect a house in 3 hours and then have 2 hours editing my report at home. with Spectora, I could usually send out the report as soon as I leave the home. its been amazing and has allowed me to double my buisness since starting with this software.

Cons

I wish the Credit Card fee was a flat monthly rate. I would possibly use it then

### "Best Home Inspection Software out there! "

September 6, 2019

5.0

From initial set up to development and execution, support and staff it has been awesome Spectora has not created users, they have created a culture of like minded people that are the leaders in the field giving us the option of customization and ease of use and automation to grow our business

Pros

Ease of use Makes you look proffesional like you have an entire back office staff taking care of your business Proffesional looking reports Mobile technology Always adapting and improving the software and app

Cons

I truly cant say there is anything i do not like about the software. It does everything I need it to do and more. If there had to be one thing I would say more integrations with other platforms like Buy your home back guarantee.

Reason for choosing Spectora

Automation, customization, and I was lucky enough to meet the reps, There was something I believed in when I met him, trust and the resp and his team have delivered on everything I have thought and expected every step of the way.

December 31, 2022

Fantastic from software to website.

Pros

Continually striving to be better. The constant implementation of new features and upgrades.

Cons

I really can’t find any pros. It’s up to the user to make the best of it. The more you know how to use the system. The more successful you will be with your reports.

The software basically performs every task to run an inspection business. From tracking miles, accounting, and multiple types of inspections

Pros

The software program facilitates all aspects of property inspections. Its like having an office staff perform all aspects required to run an inspection business. The support is amazing.

Cons

They are growing too fast. They are always updating the software to provide a better product.

Love it!

Pros

Ease of the processes. Automation of emails impresses the customers. Realtors find it helpful and easy to use. Repair request builder sells itself.

Cons

I have not had many issues. Some of the changes that are made take me by surprise at times. More discussion could be helpful.

### "Feature-rich with Outstanding Support "

December 14, 2020

5.0

Spectora also built my website, and the website integrates with the Spectora software to allow users to create their own inspections and the SEO is also available. Using the software on iPad or iPhone (I have not tried Google phones) is checklist based- never forget anything. It has flags you can set to come back to later.

Pros

The software is extremely flexible. You can edit the templates to your liking, or use other inspectors templates. Support is generally "on line" but the response is nearly immediate with very competent people answering the questions - including sometimes the top brass.

Cons

At first there were little mysteries on how to make adjustments to the software setup. I always received immediate and valid answers. I could make the templates however I want them easily. The system has many ASHI templates and I can edit them.

Reason for choosing Spectora

Cost, ease of use, support, templates, etc etc

### "Game Changer!"

August 28, 2021

5.0

My overall experience has been excellent with Spectora. It has been a game changer for my business.

Pros

What I like most about Spectora is the company's willingness and ability to adapt to the industry's needs. The software gives the inspector, the clients, and agents what they want in a report.

Cons

I cannot think of anything in particular that I don't like about the software.

December 17, 2022

5.0

Great automation and customization!

Pros

Easy to use and modify. It’s the most modern and advanced inspection software there is! Very professional looking reports.

Cons

It’s geared for doing the reports onsite. Sometimes I’d like to just take the pictures I need and get out, but it’s so time consuming to do the reports that way. Not user friendly in that scenario…

Switched from

[HomeGauge](https://www.capterra.com/p/29014/HomeGauge/)

HomeGauge reminds me of a 1970s home…outdated and should be remodeled.

### "Searching for Perfection"

February 27, 2023

5.0

Pros

While no software will every be perfect I believe Spectora is working as hard as I am to achieve just that. And that really starts with Customer Service. I have switched software and worked with other companies that just don't seem to understand when things go wrong (which they will), how is the customer service. Not only the service but the desire and ability to fix 99% of the field issues onsite. Super value to have a team that actually will address and fix concerns. Thank you all.

Cons

Stated above. So far very pleased with everything
