Common questions

Will the app remind me when a check is due?

Not with a notification: the app never sends any. Reminders are shown inside the app as due and overdue states on every door and window, the “Needs attention” list on the home screen, counters on the tab bar and the calendar. Open the calendar or the home screen to see what is due.

How do I see the app without entering my own home?

Choose Explore an example home on the welcome screen, or later Settings → Add the example home. It is a sample flat with inspections, issues and repair work. You can delete it at any time under Homes.

How do I add photos?

Tap Add photo. The Android photo picker opens and you choose pictures from your gallery; the app has no camera of its own and asks for no permission. The photos are copied into the app and stay on your phone.

Where is my data, and is it backed up?

Everything is stored on your phone, in the app’s private storage. There is no account and no cloud copy, and Android cloud backup is switched off for the app. Uninstalling the app removes all of its data.

How do I send my records to a tradesperson or the housing association?

Open PDF report on the home screen, choose the whole home or one door or window, tick what to include and tap Create and share PDF. The Android share menu opens and you choose where the file goes.

How do I change the inspection interval?

Each door and window has its own interval under Routine inspection in its form. Settings → Default inspection interval applies to doors and windows you add from then on. You can also change the next date for a single door or window with Change date.

How do I change the language?

Settings → Language: Device language, English or Eesti. The app follows the language of your phone unless you choose otherwise.

How do I delete my data?

Single records can be deleted where they are shown. A whole home is deleted under Settings → Homes, and everything at once under Settings → Delete all data. This cannot be undone.

Does an inspection in the app replace a professional survey?

No. The checklists and advice are general guidance for basic upkeep. They do not replace an inspection by a qualified professional. If you suspect a structural, fire-safety or gas-related problem, stop and call a specialist.

Does the app cost anything?

No. It is free, with no purchases and no adverts.
