I've been solo plumbing for 8 years and finally tried switching to Housecall Pro for scheduling drain clears and water heater swaps, but the routing feature keeps glitching on my old iPad. Me and my helper waste half the day rerouting to jobs because it doesn't sync right with Google Maps. Tried Joist last year and it was better for quick estimates on PEX repipes, but the invoicing part is clunky as hell when clients want to pay on site. Anyone got a solid app that handles everything without the BS? Saw a post on r/Plumbing where someone raved about ServiceTitan, but I'm not sure if it's worth the hassle for a small operation. Honestly feeling like going back to pen and paper some days. FML.

Housecall Pro? More like Housecall Slow, I spent a whole afternoon trying to quote a simple toilet install and it froze up twice. 😂

Switching software every year is the worst, especially when you're in the middle of a busy season with back-to-back snake jobs. It's like they design this crap without ever stepping foot on a jobsite.

Tell me about it, same with my setup. We all deal with this garbage, might as well unionize against buggy apps.

Dude, I feel your pain on the syncing issues, been there with every app I've tried for leak detections and fixture installs.

These software companies are screwing us plumbers over with half-baked updates that kill productivity. Time to demand better or stick to what works, damn it.
