Hello all, We started using Xactimate last year in an effort to minimize haggling over repair cost's with insurance adjuster and companies. After getting started we started noticing that the price list Xactimate provided us was much different in cost's then price list's used by several insurance companies. To reiterate, this transition changes the default pricing model used in Xactimate, XactRemodel, and XactPRM. However, customers can estimate using either pricing model in any version of software and arrive at a correct price (by adjusting prices, adding Minimum line items, etc.). This transition period between February and July should give.

Long time xact user but first time cell phone app user. Its pretty good. It is harder to sketch the rooms on the small phone screen with your fingers than on a big computer screen but with practice I'm sure I'll get the hang of it. I tried out the report function and photos and it's different than on a computer but it's doable. I think a big phone or a small tablet would make it a bit easier just do things to screen size issues. Going to try to use this more in the field instead of pen and paper.
Thanks for your review! We're so glad you like it. We have some updates coming out this month that should make it easier to use sketch on your phone.
The app has seen some improvements, but it still has issues. I’m glad to see that you can finally find the line items a little easier. The app will randomly crash with no error. You still can’t grab and adjust an offset that’s 1 foot or less. The sketch still jumps around and zooms in at will. Selecting a wall usually goes like this: You select the wall, but get the room...not what you wanted...select again..now you have two things you didn’t want selected..you select a blank area to start over...you actually select what you wanted, but now some interior/exterior bubble popped up in the way...you select a blank area again...now your able to grab the wall and adjust it, but it won’t move...you grab it again, and are finally able to adjust it. If you have no patience, you will become very angry using this app. I think using the Apple Pencil amplifies the annoyances because it slides around too easily, but if you have fat fingers like me, then the pencil is your best option. It’s easier to roll your finger to get more precise measurements, but the Apple Pencil will slide back and forth past your measurement, and force you to use the wheel adjustment. It’s hard to get used to, and even harder to keep using. I can manually sketch, and draw from the office desktop, much faster than fiddling with the app, on site.
Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. Your feedback was thoughtful and specific and we really appreciate it. We're making some changes to Sketch that should improve your experience, and we're using your feedback to inform those changes.
I’ve lost many projects with the mobile app. It’s great, if it worked properly all the time! Simple things have been made hard. Why can’t I export pictures from XM8 to my mobile device? Why can’t I save the file to my device? That way, when it crashes-because it WILL-I don’t loose everything. If I don’t have an internet connection, and don’t upload it right away, it is most likely lost. I shouldn’t have to take duplicate pictures, and backup sketches! Totally defeats the purpose of the mobile! If it doesn’t work properly, it should never have been rolled out. Yes, I’ve spent hours and hours with the help folks-and still lost multiple projects. Multiple times. PLEASE FIX IT AND MAKE IT RELIABLE!!!!,
