I pad

[wattie]

Hi guys

 

We have brought a I pad instead of a laptop to use at home, want to use it at work when quoting and I am wondering if anyone knows of any apps that would be good for estimates site plans etc.

 

Cheers

Hi mate, I use an Ipad2 for most things now, get Docs to go which will allow you to transfer documents between emails and your desktop pc. The only downside so far is the lack of flash player which can make online shopping a pain.

A few websites have cottoned onto the no flash and some even have their own apps.

 

I have all the iWork programs for doing assignments, it's a good set of apps and all in will cost less than £20! Compared to microsofts pc version for £200+!

 

I'm sure if you typed plans or similar into the app store search you will find something!

Thanks for that I will look at them, I have been using dropbox to save photos in which I take with the I phone then can open in I pad and office pc which is great I can also store doc's as well. Just to try out on site I have been using notes with a simple set up with basic info client details phone number email etc, then I put in work requirements and price and email it to them there and then and the office at the same time so we have a record. I have to do this as e next client has to be put on the same sheet once I have taken of the first clients details! If that makes sence.

 

 

I am after the plan drawing side of things now.

 

The other free app that does not seem bad is evernote and I even found a app that will messure the height of a tree but only on the I phone I think for now, great if your doing reports or seeing what mewp would be best for the job.

 

Any more info would be great

 

Thanks wattle

Hi phil just had a look at docs to go which one 6.99 or 11.99 which seems to be the updated one with more on it!

What's the name of the tree height app? Is it "how far how high" or "iHypsometerPro"?

 

Any other good iPad apps??

 

I've been trying to find an invoicing app which is compatible with a desktop (mac) program so I can invoice customers but keep the same layout and invoicing numbers.
