Frequently asked questions
What features should a snagging app have?
Offline capture, a photo per item, room/location and trade fields, status tracking, and a branded PDF report with a summary and photos embedded. Anything beyond that is optional.
Do I need a paid snagging app?
Use the scope you actually need. A focused snagging app like Punch List & Site Audit handles most homebuyer and professional inspections for free, while Pro adds clean branded PDFs, import/export, and iCloud sync.
Are snagging apps useful for homebuyers?
Yes. A clear photo-backed defect list from a buyer carries more weight with the builder than written notes alone, and helps make sure issues are fixed before the defects liability period ends.
Can a professional inspector use their iPhone for inspections?
Yes. A modern snagging app on iPhone is faster than a clipboard-and-camera workflow and produces a tidy, professional report the moment the walk ends, before you leave the property.
How many defects are typical on a new home?
Anywhere from a few dozen to several hundred, depending on quality and size. A good app scales from small units to large houses without bogging down as the list grows.
