Frequently asked questions
What features should a snagging app have?
Offline capture, a photo per snag, room/location and trade fields, status tracking, and a branded PDF snag report with a summary and photos embedded. Anything else is optional.
Do I need a paid snagging app?
No. A free, focused snagging app like Punch List & Site Audit handles most homebuyer and professional snagging inspections without a subscription or per-seat fee.
Are snagging apps useful for homebuyers?
Yes. A clear photo-backed snag list from a homebuyer carries more weight with the developer than written notes alone, and helps ensure issues are fixed before the new-build warranty period ends.
Can a professional snagging inspector use their iPhone for inspections?
Yes. A modern snagging app on iPhone is faster than clipboard-and-camera workflows and produces a shareable, professional-looking report immediately after the walkthrough ends.
How many snags are typical on a new-build property?
Anywhere from a few dozen to several hundred, depending on quality and size. A good app scales from small flats to large houses without slowing down as the list grows.
