Property Evaluator App Reviews

I am already Pro paid customer. Now that I have a new device. Greedy developer wants me to pay for it again. Restore purchase does not work.

So I first bought this App and was thrilled that something finally came along with all the features this app offered... Well - as it turns out, a little bit of bait and switch has been quickly leaned by the folks over at Property Evaluator... seems they start removing functions and small, but necessary, items unless you Upgrade your “new service features”... which aren’t new at all - you just simply removed them from the original purchase features and decided to milk folks for a few more bucks to give them back... I’ve emailed support - no response. In fact - I’ve done it a few times. No response. If you’re looking for an App that offers you something you can do on paper, without any additional features for emailing or expanding your evaluation... This App Is For You... Get ready tho... I’m sure they will remove any features you originally got, just to ask you to upgrade later for an additional fee. VERY UNHAPPY AND DISAPPOINTED USER.

Please fix.

This app used to work just fine. I could evaluate multiple properties and save them. Since updating, I can only evaluate one property and not save it. Thanks for ruining my app.

As a real estate investment professional, I use this app more than I use more sophisticated software packages on my desktop. Gives me decision making data on the fly...fast, accurate with easy to deliver reports. Love the photo and map integration features. Gives me reports worthy for investor presentations. It would be 5 stars if I could do more sophisticated partnership analyses (carried interest, etc.) but it gives me 90% of everything I'd ever need. Portfolio capabilities are also excellent. A worthy app for anyone making investment decisions around real estate.

I'm new to the idea of investing and this tool - so far it's super useful

Pros: Ease of use. Quick input. Carry it with you on site. Nice layout. Cons: Pricey(but worth it). No subcategories or order makes using Excel necessary (hopefully that can change in a future update). This program is great for pros to beginners! It is super easy and covers pretty much everything. It is a worthwhile investment if you are in the business. I have one issue, and it is that there is no way to organize the categories. For example under "Initial Improvements" when you make your list, the items and prices just pop up in random order(not even the order you input them). A future idea related to this issue, would be to have subcategories, so you could have "kitchen" or "master bath" and then have an itemized breakdown. This would be extremely helpful!

Excellent app. Thanks for fixing. Absolutely essential tool for RE investors.

Excellent app. Thanks for fixing. Absolutely essential tool for RE investors.

This is my "go-to" app anytime I need to crunch investment property numbers! I am not a fan of in-app purchases (...who is, right?), but the functionality and design was so impressive, I didn't hesitate on spending the $40 for the in-app, PRO upgrade. At first, the app seemed a bit daunting. It would take me 20-minutes to crunch numbers. Now, after figuring out the default settings, I can run numbers in less that 4-minutes! Disclaimer: The app is NOT PERFECT. There are a few kinks that need to be worked. I've spoken to the developer and he is VERY quick in answering my questions and concerns. I've dealt with sketchy developers in the past... The ones that stop updating their product and eventually remove it from iTunes. I don't get the same vibe from this developer. He's seems genuine to me. I'm happy with the app.

Worst app I've ever purchased from iTunes. App does not work. All information entered is lost. App closes every time I try entering in new information. Customer service will do nothing about it. Customer service will not refund my money...look elsewhere...

Great app when it was working. Please revert to the old version until the "up date" is fixed.

Its absolutely the best product of this type out there. It would be darn near perfect if it had a cloud sync option so the reports I do on my iPad could be accessed/ modified via my phone and laptop. Other than that- its hands down a huge asset in doing analysis and presentations. Love it.

For $40 I should be able to save a property. Instead it won't accept USA, won't save and won't advance. Waste of $

I am glad I found this app. It has helped me evaluate the performance of properties I currently own, which has helped me make adjustments to manage them more profitably. It has also helped me evaluate properties I have been considering. It corrected my math on one property which saved me from making a purchase which would not have been profitable enough to be worth my time.

Decent tool, should include various tax categories such as ability to depreciate. Also, where is the PMI field for investors with loans above 80% LTV?

Surprised there aren't more reviews. This is a great app that is clean and functional for generating a quick proposal.

This software helps you make quick decision on the viability of real estate property in a few minutes; with details on key performance indicators and nice financial projections tables and graphics.

Trying to get started and just need directions on how to set up headers, etc. Help!

I've been using Property Evaluator on my Mac, iPads, and iPhone. Great software. Sometimes the software crashes but fixes come out regularly. I love having the ability to evaluate properties in a standard way. The reports are great. Unfortunately, I have to manually enter the data across devices. That is a real pain especially since I had to pay for the software twice. Others have commented on this but still no solution. Other than that, I would give this software 5 stars!

This app does the same thing that a good spreadsheet would do in evaluating investment opportunities plus allowing one to import photos and produce an email-ready report to investors in a few minutes. There is nothing that it does that I could not do using Office, however for the price the app is offered it provides time savings, reduces errors, and allow quick reporting of initial analysis. I felt like I was on the plus side of value after using it on three properties. If you are looking at several properties and have not already created your own spreadsheet, this is a useful app. In one situation, I was able to email a report from the site, within minutes of touring the property.

I have been using Property Evaluator for several months with great appreciation for how it has helped me build my real estate portfolio and quickly assess properties. It has explanations for the metrics, easy to adjust variables, and provides projections in a snap. I contacted support for help through email and I received an answer within hours. Great app! highly recommended.

I have been using this for years to analyze deals. Only thing I use to analyze the numbers. Great app!

I have tried a few others and I find this one to be the best! The banker is always impressed when I send her these reports.

This would be a five star ap if it didn't crash constantly.

The App is easy to use but flexible enough to cover the necessary information.

When I try to input rent it crashes!

Don't waste your time or money on this app. $20 minimum purchase required to even add a functional feature.

This property evaluation app is difficult to use because it requires you to calculate things sometimes yearly other times monthly. Also it does not include depreciation in the numbers! Not to mention income tax factors. Pretty much useless to me.

I paid $20 for this app & when OS 7 came out the app always crashed. I just found that they made the app again for OS 7 & I would have to buy it again - not able to update my current app. What a bunch of crap.

I have been using this apps to find my rental home for a year. It works great. It gives cap rate, cash on cash return which is hel. It's easy to use. Unfortunately it has been constantly crash. I can not open it anymore

Wow! This is the tool that will put my RE agent out of business! With popular RE web sites like Zillow and Redfin, independent investors need help in choosing best investment base on data. This app allows me to calculate income, expense, and appreciation over years. I don't have to rely on non-responsive agent who just want to close sale. My favorite feature is the income analysis and projection. Keep the new features coming!!!

Have the older version of this app on my phone. Works great. Was excited to get it on my iPad with the expanded features. It crashes when you press the "properties" button. EVERY TIME! I've erased and reinstalled, rebooted etc. I wanted to buy the full version but I can't get to it within the app and now I'm having second thoughts as the basic version doesn't operate as designed. I hope they fix this soon. Or supply some better "help" if this is a user error.

Worth every penny. Saves me HOURS of time during pre-contract evaluation. If you're an investor, you need this app.

I have been using this app for several years. I have been able to run scenarios on potential properties. I am also able to play with numbers on my existing investments. Highly recommended. Also the developer is very knowledgeable and has responded to my concerns very quickly. Thanks and hope you find my review helpful. Update Aug 29,2016 Not sure what is going on with updates but now I can't use app on my iPhone!!!!

Who has the time to make a spreadsheet like this that’s going to look ½ as good. Money well spent! I really love the ability to crunch numbers on multiple properties, and sum it up to one report. No sync is the sore spot but developer working on it!

I have never relied on an app more for my business than this Real Estate Tool. It is great for looking at multiple properties or just a single investment. If you are buying and holding or a flipper this tool is for you. Best I've found.

This is an extremely useful tool.

Like this app a LOT. Their recent update reverted me back to the free version, but technical support was quick to help me with restoring the purchased app they responded within an hour.

Great tool for both evaluating properties and showing off to the banks that your a pro. My banker wanted to know how I created these reports on my iPad and he now recommends it to his customers. I just wish it would update on the cloud and sync with my devices. It's very tedious to input all the data again when you upgrade from an old iPhone or iPad. My

Very comprehensive and highly configurable evaluation tool. I purchased the pro version and have been very impressed with the ability to thoroughly analyze a potential investment property. I have been in the real estate game for twenty years and have a good feel for all of the things to be considered when evaluating a property. I can't think of much more this app can offer.

This app is awesome! I have been using it for several months and love how simple it makes my investment analysis. I use it for both single family and multi-unit deals. It's treat to have everything I need built in to one program. It is very accurate and gives me all the investment criteria I need to evaluate a purchase. I can also use it to evaluate existing properties as metrics change over time. The only improvement I would recommend is for the developer to add a "consolidation" option to group a series of properties.

This is a must have App for anyone interested or involved in real estate investing. I was happy with the original version and not very pleased when I had to pay the additional $49.99 for the upgraded version, but it was worth every penny. After a day of house shopping my mind gets to be a blur. But by taking my iPad and this App with me I'm able to enter all of the numbers and notes on the properties very quickly. By sorting the portfolio by my goals I'm able to see at a glance where my best investment opportunities are. I started having issues with the App after the Apple upgrade. All I can say about Wasatch customer service is amazing,. They responded quickly to my problem offering me a temporary solution. Later I recieved another response from them detailing the issue of the problem and assuring me that an update correcting the problem had already been submitted to Apple. They even notified me when the update was available. All of their responses were personalized to me, rather than a "can" response given by most companies. I'm a real estate investor and this product is the best tool I have to be able to analyze properties quickly. I never realize how vital it was to my business until I had the issue with it. I have tried several other Apps out there and this one is hands down, the best.

I have been using this apps form a while, and as Real Estate investor this is what I have looking for, it reduces my analysis and decision time to 5 min, and allow me to share my investment decision with my partner in an easy and standardize way. If your are in the Multifamily, Hotel or single family home business, wether it is for rental, flipping or buy to sell, do not hesitate to buy this app, it worth every dollar.

In order to get the multiple listing functionality shown in the picture you need to buy the premium version for $20 more.

I'm an investor myself & RE broker who works exclusively with investors helping them buy & sell SF and multi family properties. Before the Property Evaluator for iPad came along, I had to print out Excel spreadsheets to show the financial returns & strength of a property. No one's ever too impressed with spreadsheets. Today when I meet a client, I can't wait to open my iPad and fire up the Property Evaluator. Typical responses are "Oh cool!" & "Wow!" Their eyes are riveted to the program as I instantly change the financial metrics by changing the price, income or expenses. I have so much confidence discussing the subject property because of this app and it gives me a lot of credibility as well. It's really rejuvenated my interest in my career. I would have paid whatever I had to to use this program. It's been that good for me. Randy Hoese Twin City Realty Investment

I used to love this app and use it everyday. I paid full price for the PRO version which I almost never do. $39.99!!! Then when I upgraded IOS on my iPhone it now crashes every time I go past entering the property name and address. I've never been more ripped off because now you have to purchase the app again for another $39.99. It's one thing to lose .99 or $1.99 but $39.99? Seriously? How can you sleep at night knowing you ripped off so many of your users. I would love to know if a fix is coming for this but I am guessing "No". Funny thing is, I still want the app but will NEVER buy it!

Managing deal flow can be a challenge. But this app integrates a thorough analysis with the ability to add multiple photos, run a scenario out over ten years by dragging a simple slider, and adjust assumptions on the fly. I honestly enjoy running the numbers on my iPad. Sending analysis instantly to partners or other investors is a dream. I either snap photos of the property from the online pro-forma or snap off some photos right from my iPad 2. The .PDF reports this app generates are clean and professional looking. Organizing my properties into portfolios helps me keep track of which property came from which source. My workflow calls for a few added features (like expense analysis and ratios). A simple email to the developer got a reply right away. That turned into a phone call and left me feeling good about where this app is going. He has a great to-do list of added features. I won't ruin the surprise, but I'm looking forward to the updates! This developer is a real estate investor himself. He uses the app to do his own analysis. I felt he understood exactly where I was going with my request and is eager to make the changes. I should be clear: This tool is great as-is. I've had it for months and use it every day. The updates that he has planned will be icing on an already good cake.

This product is amazing. Just try it, you'll know what I mean.

I use the app frequently with investors to get a picture of the investment in a graphic interface. Fast, accurate, and easy to use. If it had a pc app that would sync, it would be an awesome tool.

This is an extremely useful app with a pleasing interface that's easy to navigate. About 15 minutes of initial setup allowed me to enter 12 properties with all the information in an hour. I showed the reports to my co-investor (he's the experience, I'm the bookkeeper) and he was absolutely blown away. iCloud integration is in the works and when it is implemented, I will be purchasing the pro versions for the Mac and iPhone as well.

Very helpful for me to have a tool to evaluate my properties. Easy to use and seems quite complete. Love it!

I used to rely on my own custom spreadsheet to evaluate real estate opportunities, but this became my primary tool the day I first tried it. It does everything my old tool did, plus more. I can create a very professional looking pro forma with my company logo for any property within minutes. I can then share the package with my bank and property management company--giving them everything they need to get the deal going. I absolutely love this app and highly recommend it.

Add the cloud feature( like icloud or dropbox) that will allow you to update infos across the platforms. I have this app on my mac and ipad as well. That would be great, thank you!!

The basic app (free) isn't very good. It makes assumptions you can't change. I.e. Down payment amount - I guess the app assumes you'll be financing a mortgage with a bank. Doesn't let you enter your own assumptions. Menus are kind of eh. That's where the intuitive part comes in. Back to my excel spreadsheet.

I purchased the program for my turn-key operation and needed help with customizing the report for my needs. I emailed tech support and within minutes (yes, minutes) I received a detailed breakdown of how "to do" what I needed to get done. WOW... Then, the next day, I got an email following up with me and asking if they could be of more assistance. Now that's customer service at its best! Thank you, Joel for your amazing support! MT

I purchased this for my iPhone in Dec 2012 and the Premium upgrade for $10. They created a version for iPhone and iPad and now want $20 just so I can still run it on my iPhone. Seems wrong. They did offer a promo code for another program I don't want. $20 price is nuts for a loyal customer continue using the same program. Moving on to find another. I can't recommend purchasing because of the forced up-sell. Too bad, it's a good program. :/

I recommend this to all agents in my office to create worksheets for investor buyers. It really helps in rental property purchase decisions.

Basic version is purposely limited to the point it is worthless. Now I have to spend another $20 if I want the full functionality! BS bait and switch tactic. Not getting any more money out of me no matter how good the app is.

It takes another 20 dollar purchase for more than one property. There is no way to remove their branding... As an agent if I am preparing for a client I need my branding on the page. I would love to see that and would pay for that upgrade. How about some graphs? Multi unit properties require another 20 dollar upgrade also.... Come on ..... Let us brand our company and company website in the footer.... Or else we will move on to your competitors online.

I love this app and have used it for years but the new version for the new OS keeps crashing. I can't load any new data. After it is fixed it'll be back to 5 stars.

Depreciation missing, limited to 3 expenses, only 1 property unless you pay $20, numerous other limitations unless you pay more. Disappointing...

Waste of your money and time,don't buy

Will not create property property report from day one. Was told that update had been submitted to apple but after 2 updates through App Store this app will not create a property report to email anyone. Every time you try and create a report the app crashes. Entire purpose of this app is to be able to evaluate properties and portfolios and generate reports on the go.

Can't do anything with this version. It only loads to tell you to buy the upgrade.

Please fix this! I rely on this app for my investment property review. Normally, it works beautifully, but since the last update, it is not opening. The star rating would be 5 if it was currently working.
