Hi Robert
I use an Ipad as well as a Iphone and use the aworka programme, but I am thinging of getting the Mac air instead, its ighter than the Ipad but more important it has loads of memory, my Ipad is only 16gb this is not enough.
Like the Ipad the Air starts up straightaway instead of netbooks or laptops which can take an age to load up.
-
I wouldn't recommend the Air.
1 - It doesn't have a CD drive.
and
2 - It's ridiculously thin, and with the day to day life on a window cleaner on the move, will easily get broken.
-
Pocket expense, excellent and easy. And can export to pdf.

I can't remember the last time I installed something from a CD. All software I use is downloaded from the net or installed from a USB drive. Not having a CD drive is not an issue.
and
It's fantastically thin! It's made from aluminium and in very sturdy and strong. It will long outlast a thick plastic job by years.
Back on topic, I use Plan My Jobs on both my iPad and Android smartphone.

The same can be said for the iPad and iPhone and I have not damaged either yet

Craig i cant find the android app what the name of it plz?
-
It's not an Android app. It's an online app viewable at www.PlanMyJobs.com. As it's all online you can use it on Android, iOS, PCs, whatever has a web browser.
-
Thanks
-
yes thanks Craig I just signed up and added todays work, had a play on my phone and it all looks easy enough and best of all it is FREE :D

I just signed up for this too, I can't believe it's free, or doesn't have loads of adverts?
-
Believe it...
-
I have three laptops and the Mac Air is the best by a very long way. Super fast start up, loads of memory and just looks the business.
Rob ;D
-
How much is the Air?
-
Depends on the model. It's between 800 and a grand.
-
i just want a round software i can load onto a tablet and work from that. no online stuff.... just on the tablet like you have george on a computer
-
Some old code hadn't been removed. Thanks for letting me know! All sorted now and it's back to being free.
-
When i try to put my custys area in its not letting me any ideas plz
-
Where abouts are you stuck? You've added the Area in Areas? If so then when you add the customer you can then pick the right area.
-
Hi craig everytime i press the area box to enter the area it just comes up with 5 dashes and it wont let me input any area .
-
That's right. If You click on Areas which is next to Add New Customers then you'll be able to add the necessary info there. Once that's done, when you come to add your customers you'll be able to select the Areas you've just input.
-
Cheers craig this might be a stupid question but is all my work going to be on this program ?just a bit concerned how secure it is dont like the fact i have to log on to met to get my work
-
The website is an interface to the database that your info is stored on. This allows us to keep your data (and everyone else's) more secure. Being made to login is added security. If you didn't have to login then everyone could see everyone else's info!
-
just one question craig, does the income page just keep increasing or does it reset say at the end of the financial year
-
That's a good point. It needs some alterations to be more effective. We're working on providing a breakdown by year then by month. Next step is to implement a user selectable time period so you'll be able to display income for whatever time period you wish.
-
any plans for a static version on a tablet craig ?
-
You mean like a "proper" app rather than a web app? If so then the answer is not at the moment. The whole idea behind having PlanMyJobs as a web app is to allow access to your customer info across all platforms whether that's a PC, a smartphone or a tablet. There are some other options that are being looked at but it's currently in the blue sky thinking stage.
-
yeah Craig. am getting a google nexus 7. its a great size to be able to carry around but does not have 3g. just want a programe i can carry with me when i quote to be able to put the jobs straight in and not have to rely on my signal
-
Snap to Blue Frog Systems
Looks like there is a gap in the market for a decent native android app.
Which is a bit ironic as this topic is entitled "ipad"
:-)

The Income page now allows you to input the date ranges you want. Far more useful now!
