What teams need from Punch List App for iPhone

iPhone-first teams need the full walkthrough workflow on the device they already carry.

Punch items, photos, and reports stay in one iPhone workflow, with no laptop required on site.

02

How Punch List & Site Audit fits the workflow

Each record can include location, trade, status, due date, notes, and photo evidence in one place.

That keeps walkthroughs consistent and makes PDF reporting fast at the end of the visit.

Contractors, consultants, and owners can review the same structured record from first walk to final sign-off.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best punch list app for iPhone?

Punch List & Site Audit is designed for iPhone-first field use, with offline capture, photo-per-item workflows, status tracking, and PDF reporting. Pro subscriptions unlock clean branded PDFs, import/export, and iCloud sync.

How do I photograph and annotate a defect on iPhone?

Tap the camera inside the item, capture the photo, and add location, trade, and notes. The photo is embedded in the exported PDF report so subcontractors see exactly what was flagged and where.

Can I use my iPhone punch list offline?

Yes. All capture happens locally on the device, so dead zones, basements, and sites without Wi-Fi never block your walkthrough. You can also export the PDF offline and share it as soon as you're back on a network.

Does the iPhone app sync with the cloud?

Reports export as PDFs that you can save to iCloud Drive, Dropbox, email, or any other destination via iOS share extensions. Pro also unlocks iCloud sync for keeping app data current across your Apple devices.

How do I email a punch list from my iPhone?

After generating the PDF, tap Share and choose Mail. The PDF attaches with the project name prefilled in the subject line, ready to send to your client, general contractor, or subcontractor.
