Gas installers workmate app

[Mbear]

Anyone got it?

Is it any good?
£30, you'd think an app at this price would be top notch.

I was looking at an advert for that yesterday. looks ok, bit pricey though.

 

[Mbear]

It sounds and looks handy as anything. All the reviews are gd that I've seen. I think each MI is in PDF format and u save all the MIs u use regularly to the phone but can still access unsaved ones through 3G/wifi as and when u need it.

 

[mitchellplumber]

I think for that price, the app should come with all the manuals on the app. what happens when your at a boiler. No boiler manual, which is every 3rd boiler these days. And you have no 3G! £29.99 wasted. Not so sure, the idea is good though!

 

[Mbear]

U misunderstand me. If u want them all saved then u can. U can save all baxi boilers MI for eg in the one go. U decide which manufacturer u want saved to ur phone. It just means it takes up more storage in the memory. As I said, save every MI from every manufacturer or just what u want/need

 

[mitchellplumber]

What I meant is for the price, they should all be in the app rather than having to download them. But I see what your saying. The potential is there.

whats wrong with ringing the manufacturers? BAXI, Worcester and ideal will send them out FOC,if the boiler brand you fit wont question its loyalty to the installer/engineer

 

[mitchellplumber]

Just handy to have it on your phone I suppose. I use my I-phone for everything else, it's my office :0)

 

[Mbear]

The point is u don't need a laptop or loads of MI books to carry round. All the MI's are in ur phone. Most ppl have smart phones these days so seems a logical step to have them on your phone. Saves laptop upkeep costs and possible laptop repair costs.

Looking at gas apps, can anyone tell me if the £29.99 for the gas installers workmate app is an annual fee or a one off payment?

 

[newcastle phill]
