## Reviews

### "Waste of time for New Zealand news" — 1.0/5

> **John** | *8 May 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: This software is no good for NewZealand inspectors due to the date format and this can not be changed on the report template
> 
> **Cons**: No to much to say really, just disappointed that the software isn’t user-friendly and that can be changed does not seem to want to have much to do about it so my opinion, the software is not at this stage able to be used in New Zealand
> 
> Disappointed with the software contacted pALM-TECH and emailed them a few times and was told that this date for that cannot be changed. I have had feedback from clients asking for me to change the date due to this is the wrong format which I cannot do on the report is this is in a format relating to USA.&#10;I have been using PALM-TECH nine for over 6 to 8 years and can’t believe that the new software cannot be adaptable

### "Best in the market" — 5.0/5

> **Sam** | *10 September 2025* | Individual & Family Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Easy to use, like copy and paste, ease of dragging photos and add remarks &#10;Having a summary option makes the client and  real estate brokers so impressed.
> 
> **Cons**: None really , the software is so comprehensive and keep updating regularly. However , I was more comfortable with version 8 than 9.
> 
> Have been using it since 2012 after trying several other softwares. Found it to be the best in the market.

### "DO NOT BUY THIS SOFTWARE\!\!\!" — 1.0/5

> **Jim** | *11 February 2026* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The old version worked well but very basic.&#10;Palm Tech Complete has some nice features the old version didn't have.
> 
> **Cons**: Palm Tech Complete has so many problems, they fix one and 10 other issues arise. Same old BS when you call for support-we are working on it.... We used Galaxy tablets with the old version that worked pretty good, then we were forced to buy PT Complete, The Galaxy Tablets wouldnt work with the new software so we were forced into buying Apple Mini tablets  and we have had so many problems with them also.&#10;They did not Beta Test this software before forcing it on us.&#10;I am not going to waste my time going through all of the problems with this garbage. Then to top it off, I get an email from them telling me our software license was up for renewal and they were billing our credit card on the renewal date. I told them no way do i want to be charged until we get the issues fixed. Well they went ahead and billed us anyway and I have been trying to get this resolved for over a month  with no response.&#10;DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY... You will regret it.
> 
> Terrible software and support.&#10;Decent software before they forced you to upgrade to the new version.&#10;I am totally disgusted with this company\!\!\!\!

### "Palmtech value for money is great" — 5.0/5

> **MILTON** | *10 September 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I love the ability to tailor make home inspection templates.  I have realtors who want the wording done in a way that is legal but also in such a way that it doesn't scare clients off.  That way my reports are custom to each client.
> 
> **Cons**: The learning curve for me at first was a little difficult.  But with a little help from tech support the reporting became much easier.
> 
> Palmtech software support is excellent\!  I have had great conversations with different tech support personnel and always had my issues resolved.  Some issues were resolved immediately.

### "Above And Beyond Satisfied" — 5.0/5

> **Christopher** | *27 September 2025* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Its easy to use. All in one package i get my report writing software, payment processing, agreements sined and so much more.
> 
> **Cons**: That i can only load 100 photos at a time. I take close to 400 photos at each inspection. Myou photos in the gallery would be nice.
> 
> Im really enjoying it. I believe i will love it once i get it all figured out. Im still slowly learning how it all opperates.
