Manifold: Field Team App

I am not happy with this app and will probably delete it now, after only one use. The concept is great, but it just doesn’t work well. First, the map/GPS seems out-of-date, as it doesn’t recognize my address, which has existed for over 3 years. I tried using GPS, then typing the address in. Even moving the pin manually on the map, the closest I could get is the house next door. Second, the scanner does not recognize the top and bottom of walls with crown molding and baseboards. I have 12” crown molding, and the app cuts off the wall about 4” down from the ceiling. 6” baseboards, and it cuts off just above the shoe molding. Third, the measurements are not accurate. The dimensions for my room are way short, and they show on the floor plan as exterior dimensions, even though I scanned the inside of the room. Very weird. Fourth, the app itself is not easily navigable. You can’t simply go back to a previous screen. The screenshots in the App Store show a back button near the top left of the screen. However, the actual app has no back button. I have to keep using the search bar at the top to find the project name and click it to go to the project page. If I click into the floor plan, I can’t just go back to the project page to look at other items within the project. I have to use the search bar to find the project again. Easy now, since I only have one project, but this would be annoying if I had many. Sorry, but this app is a disappointment. I’d rather pay for one of better quality.

App works great and help track my daily progress.

Manifold is a really cool app that can change the way we work. We’re really excited about the possibilities. It’s been easy to use and the company has been great to work with.
