Who it's for
This app is for field representatives and businesses that need to collect data, photos, and conduct surveys at various locations. It is suitable for those who prioritize a generally easy-to-use interface for data entry R14R25R36. However, users who require high reliability, fast performance, and accurate location services for time-sensitive tasks should be cautious R1R3R7R8.
Evidence note: The recent review sample skews heavily negative, focusing on performance issues that contradict the developer's latest update notes. While there are positive lifetime ratings, the recent trend indicates a significant decline in user satisfaction due to these problems. The confidence is high due to the consistent reporting of the same issues across many recent reviews.

- [R14] Good app: Great easy to use app, interface is user friendly & everything you do need to find related to your account is easily accessible..the only feedback id like to add is to please try to include an update that optimizes battery usage when using the app..i use a huge chunk battery life within two-three accounts because of this app..if yall could fix that it’d be great.
- [R25] Assistant District Manager: I like GoSpotCheck as it’s designed for ease of use as I make visits. Once I complete the first one, all the others become easier to navigate.
- [R36] Amazing user experience: Great app, very easy to use
- [R51] Very easy: Fast and easy
- [R23] Go GoSpotCheck!!: GoSpotCheck makes my job easier.
- [R37] Nice app: I like this app cause it helps me to do my job better
- [R39] Easy to Use, this app makes my job easier: 5tt
- [R45] Makes my job easier: The program confirms that all required photos and questions are answered prior to leaving the business. The step-by-step walk-through of each required Objective makes it easy to for fill the required project. Thank you for an easy to use Go Spot Check app.
- [R42] Go spot support: I can’t say enough about your support team!!!! Always very very helpful. THANK YOU!!! Always ready to help get you back on track!
- [R50] GSC: Go spot check IT people have always been there to help out when I called. They are friendly and professional.
- [R58] Quin was awesome: Quin was the best! She was so attentive. I needed to get a password reset for my company’s admin so I could get my GSC on my new replacement phone. The phone was with my IT dept.. Quin called my IT admin for me to get it done ASAP. Thanks Quin!
- [R71] Project Manager: New user, but feels like a good product, I like the map feature I haven’t seen that in other software.
- [R1] small issues can be hugely frustrating: several persistent issues. it crashes sometimes in the middle of a mission & loses all my progress (photos, notes, etc) so i have to go back and redo everything i just did. it also freezes up randomly and takes forever to start responding again. ***this next “issue” is more of a preference/suggestion than a true issue, but i think it would be a lot more ef
- [R15] Review: Hard to find numbers and it keeps deleting my answers and I had to do them over and over,
- [R52] THE WORST APP EVER...AVOID!: This app is the absolute worst for getting your work done! It freezes daily and will add more work to your daily tasks. I am a very tech savvy person and can say this is very shoddy work. Look elsewhere for something better!
- [R54] iPhone crashing: The good: nice interface and easy to use The bad: GoSpotCheck crashes my whole phone. After submitting my before pictures I notice my IPhone SE 2020 completely crashes and it takes me 20 minutes to get the phone to turn on. Please look into this. Our bosses depend on us to use this app.
- [R3] Broken: After the update nothing works as it should making a 30 minute job into an hour plus. Thanks guys.
- [R7] Horrible: Take forever for the list to download without having to uninstall and then reinstall the app or shut your phone off and on. This is ridiculous.
- [R8] Not good: Good concept, but terrible performance. Its like everything I touch you have to wait 5-20 seconds before it recognizes it. Tried on multiple devices and still does it. It’s AGONIZING trying to do something quickly, but I have to wait for my touch to be registered. Given the amount of companies using this, you can do a lot better.
- [R10] Horrible: Locks up. Hard to install. Doesn’t work when needed
- [R22] Photo stitching is a joke: I had to retake photos of every door multiple times. The app drained my battery before I could get each door clearly. I only did one reset and my battery was full at the start of work. The photo stitching is awful!!!
- [R116] Takes forever to load & battery drainer: This app is great to fill out surveys needed, but it really drains your phone battery. You can fill out 3 surveys and have less than half of your battery life. Also - it’s been taking forever to open.. constantly searching and if your screen times out it takes forever for it to open again. Causing yet again, your battery life to dwindle. It never used to
- [R5] Worst Ever: The company we use this app for is getting a severe injustice and ripped off because none off their counts are correct because the app won’t scan about 40% of items.
- [R6] Gospotcheck fail: The company I work for is using this app to capture codes in audits and has a very rough time trying to capture the bar codes very frustrating and incredibly inconvenient
- [R21] Please add option to attach photo rather than just submitting live photos: Otherwise 5 star
- [R11] Poor: Geo locations are incorrect for one. For two the app is slow as heck. Also half of my surveys taken won’t acknowledge that I submitted the survey
- [R13] Trouble with app: Twice I’ve had trouble with the app. Going to the same location, we had trouble getting the shop to appear, so I could do it. The MSP was never able after many tries to get it to come up on my app. I had to use the guidelines & take pictures to send to them for report insertion. Very stressful, as it was after a 1-1/2 hr. drive one way & then the not being sure I was able to ac
- [R60] So so review: App crashes a lot not very accurate when it come to gps location
- [R68] Location: The location is not very accurate especially in rural areas.
- [R27] Constantly having to log in: Having this app on my phone is helpful but what is the point if you’re required to log in constantly. It doesn’t even give me the option to use a saved password; have to type username and password each time. So if you have missions that are due at a specific time and you’re trying to get them done on time, this is super inconvenient and annoying. So for me it’s a 1 sta
- [R69] Awful app: It constantly crashes or freezes before anything can be done with in application. It constantly logs out and requires a new sign in making the simple task that much more time consuming. I’m not sure why large companies still use this for data collection when the entire application is trash.
- [R108] Makes collecting data easier: Makes collecting data so much easier by having the app on a phone or tablet and not having to compile all the information. Very Helpful to refer to old surveys at a moments notice. The Only downfall is constant updates and being forced to re log in on your device when you’re in a rush to collect info and you assume you’re still logged in and ready to use the app.
- [R9] Frequency?: This app is great but it doesn’t clearly explain the frequency required of each survey. Nor does it tell a rep what surveys are still outstanding or incomplete. If one is monthly and one is quarterly, there’s no way for a rep to know which is which or which one has been completed and which is still incomplete.
- [R41] Spot Check: Spot check (in my 20+ years of experience opinion ) is a waste of valuable time that could be used stocking shelves and selling in items. Distributors do not make money off of (nice photos) they make money off of sales and stocked shelves. Again this is my opinion in my view which is based upon my 20 years plus experience selling Anheuser-Busch products.
- [R48] Not effective: The surveys are time consuming and doesn’t do anything to increase sales. It’s repetitive and takes away time to sell. The package placements are not smart and just plugs holes for other packages that may sell. CT Trul.
- [R62] Review: This exercise does not sell us one case of beer.
- [R81] GM UOB: Requires 100% photos and notes when not necessary in order to submit. I like the Red Book much better. Furthermore, I can go back and see my notes much easier.
- [R12] Time stamp accuracy is horrible: The app itself is a great concept, but now that I just found out that the pictures on every item are the exact same time that you submit a mission is horrible. There is no way to validate your own story of when you did something when they all have the exact same time but in reality, you took them at different times during the shift. If you arrive at a store at 6:15
- [R18] Need to fix issues: When you logged into your account, whatever activity that you do within Gospotcheck should still be there. I changed phone devices all of a the work that I did wane saved. Can’t get paid if there’s no proof of work to show for
- [R97] Terrible app: This app only work about half the time. When reports are submitted they don’t show up.
- [R2] Update: Updated the app to its newest version and now it won’t open at all.
- [R24] Taking pictures freezes app: The only thing that fixed this issue is switching to ‘Old UI’ in settings.
