HWOS - app - anyone use?

[Bunker]

I use my iPhone for everything as I struggle with actual paperwork!! The HWOS app they reckon to be a superb customer record etc, sounds great, Id love to be able to call up the service history of each boiler I attend. Im sure most of you wont have this problem and are a lot more organised, but Im not sO I use other tools to help. Anyone tried it?

Pencil for the old lags, stubby marker for us hip young things.

Plus I use a device to keep tabs on everything I do, looking back over archived data to a specific event takes mere seconds. And it has never, ever let me down.

It's called Diary 1.0 (update 2013)

Seems expensive and doesn't offer much for the money? I was really impressed with the look ofthe HBXL software, but I don't think they do an app for the iPad? You can enter and store customer details, calculate materials, rad sizes, boilers etc and do on the spot accurate quotes using merchant's real time price lists. It'll also generate gas certs and email or send to wireless printers, generate and send invoices at the click of a button and you can set service reminders that will pop up on your computer and also send a standard email to the customer reminding them to get in touch... It looks great, but it's £200 and doesn't have an app yet. I also like the look of the plumbers CAD software they have, I believe it can import room dims from the quote software and plot out pipe runs etc giving you decent drawings to work from (great if you have an apprentice or sub working for you).
