The software is user friendly overall and is a good value for the money. > > **Cons**: The programmers obviously have never been inspectors out in the field, which led to a myriad of wide ranging issues. Instead of focusing on marketing bells and whistles, there should be more focus on user-related issues like, but not limited to: - Not being able to move photos around within the 4 panel Photos Section - Photo runaway when trying to rearranging photos in the damage panel, which is especially annoying. - The discontinuation and lack of phone support on the weekends is maddening. We don't have time to spend an hour in a chat frame typing and copying and pasting trying explaining an issue that could be addressed and rectified in a five minute or less phone call. - The overall lack of response to trouble tickets on the part of the programmers is a major issue. I had six open tickets still out there when I retired in November, some of which were over a year old. There is no excuse for that. - The importance of having the programmers actually ascend from Mt. Olympus and spend time in the field with inspectors utilizing the software that they design cannot be overemphasized. > > Overall, HIP is a great software program, especially for the money, when it works right and as long as you don't need phone support on the weekends. ----- ### "Fix the glitches" — 3.0/5 > **Derrick** | *5 December 2025* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Final product ( report) is good. There is a steep learning curve to using the app and program like anything new but generally it’s well organized > > **Cons**: The camera. The glitches. The time to update and repair the issues. Three years ago the camera was stable. Now it has many glitches. It has improved recently but there are numerous occasions where I have to take the picture 3/4 times to get a good photo. The app is very glitchy at times. It’s very frustrating when a new version is automatically updated and there are major issues. Capturing the house conditions on site on HIP needs to be seamless 100% of the time. > > 50% of the time I’ve called in for support my concerns have been completely dismissed and blame has been placed on network, computer it iOS updates. It’s very dismissive without any probing are attempted troubleshooting. It’s getting harder and harder to get answers so now I avoid calling and just live with the issues. Honestly if I had the opportunity to move or try other services I would but our franchise solely uses hip and the integration with ISN so that’s not possible. ----- ### "Owner / Chief Inspector" — 5.0/5 > **Steve** | *29 December 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: As an inspector, coonsistency of the platform being used in the field is paramont. If I can't properly document conditions onsite due to a software issue then my workload doubles, reuiqring me to take notes and extra photos so I can recall everything when I get back to my office to write up the actual report. They also have not sent out any updates that end up causing computers to freeze up. Lastly, this platform is used more than any other software amoungst inspectors in my area so it makes it easy to share templates or comments that your inspector buddy has. > > **Cons**: There are a lot of features that are not necessarily organized like Adobe, Office or other software therefore can make it a challenge when faced with an conflicting issue that has to do with the template overall layout, colors, borders or a specific font. The other issue I feel is the user interface when it comes to the cover page designer is very poor and frustrating at times. I've wasted hours messing with the cover page designer and trying to get fonts changed that either revert back or don't translate to the report even though the screen looks perfect. At minimum mach report requires manipulation of the photo to have it align propoerly. It would be nice to use a similar user interface to other design software on the market everyone else knows very well. Plus an override feature so you can manipulate any of the pages text, images, layout, borders, etc. Almost like you open the cover page designer and it is like opening your entier report in Microsoft Word or Adobe. > > The best quality is the dependability. I can't think of one day where there was some nationwide issue with accessing your cloud stored info or logging into their website. Yes, there were some user error furstrations, but quickly realiazed the issue was with me and not with the company. I use the office suite as well and can atest to it having the same dependability. ----- ### "Pro's and Cons of HIP from a multi-inspector business" — 4.0/5 > **Scott** | *9 December 2025* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: For the cost the software does all that we need. I like that we can use multiple inspectors to complete larger projects, I like that the software works with both Mac and PC users. I like that the software has added templates for our states insurance report requirements. > > **Cons**: It is not as intuitive as some options so the reports have redundant steps that are required making the reporting more time consuming. Also we are finding that the completion of reports must be done from the desktop so we cannot finish report in the field. > > I'm still an active HIP user and hoping to refine and streamline the software to make my job faster. My team of inspectors are very motivated to create streamline ways to complete inspections in the field. ----- ### "I like Home Inspector Pro, but I would like some additional improvement/functionality/abilities" — 5.0/5 > **William** | *25 November 2025* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: How customizable it is, the affordablility, and the ease of use once you get past the learning curve. > > **Cons**: There is no way to create modules that you can copy and paste into an existing or new template to make editing and creating new templates more streamlined. I also do not like that I can't use all of the functions of my phone's camera in the app that using the camera in the app is more limited and cumbersome than I think it should be. It would be nice to have some tutorials for the office portion of it especially configuring emails and the triggers for the emails to make customizing them easier/more intuitive. > > I came to home inspector Pro from AHIT's InspectIT. It took me a while to get past the learning curve and to learn how to edit and customize my templates the way I wanted them. I have been happy with home inspector Pro since I came over. ----- Page: 1 / 7\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/70519/home-inspector-pro?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/70519/home-inspector-pro) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
