DampApp Pro

DampApp Pro doesn't try to be a general surveying platform, and that focus is the point. The workflow assumes you are standing in a damp flat with a moisture meter, low signal, and a client expecting a professional report. Everything follows from that: 100% offline capture, on-device psychrometric calculations, on-device PDF rendering. It's worth noting the vendor's own framing — it markets itself as "a real native app, not a repackaged website wrapper that needs a connection to work" — and the offline behaviour genuinely matters in basements and signal-dead zones where web-based survey tools stall. The compliance layer is the strongest argument for the upgrade. U-value and interstitial condensation risk analysis follows BS EN ISO 13788 with climate data pulled from the property's location, and Glaser diagrams render straight into the report rather than being pasted in from elsewhere. HHSRS scoring on Pro covers 21 hazard profiles with Category 1/2 determinations and room-linked evidence, and the Awaab's Law tooling captures structured observations, ventilation checks, and dated records with an optional indicative timeline. For social-housing casework that has to survive scrutiny, this is the part buyers are actually paying for. Capture is quicker than a paper-and-phone workflow in practice. AR Room Scanning on LiDAR iPhones and iPads walks a room and auto-builds walls, doors, and windows; smart floor plans snap square with automatic room areas; you pin damp and mould markers to exact locations with a PDF legend. Voice dictation transcribes live and appends rather than overwriting, and stores no audio, which removes the usual privacy objection to voice notes. Photos get AI Photo Analysis that suggests defect descriptions, tags indicators like tide marks and mould growth, and reads visible moisture-meter values. Reporting is where the hours come back. Smart Build lets you select the findings that apply, preview editable professional wording, and insert it into the relevant field. On Free, Smart Build is available with monthly report passes; on Pro it's unlimited across every report and in the default wording every new survey starts with. AI Polish supports Google Gemini or OpenAI/ChatGPT and expands shorthand into structured text you approve before export. White-label PDF export carries your logo, colours, and credentials, so the finished document looks like it came from your firm, not from software. Where it doesn't fit. AR Room Scanning requires LiDAR-equipped iPhones and iPads, so older or non-Pro hardware misses a headline feature. It's iOS and Android, not a web SaaS platform, so teams expecting a browser dashboard or an API should look elsewhere. Pro's cloud syncing caps at 5,000 active surveys, which suits sole practitioners and small firms but not large multi-team operations. And it is explicitly the surveyor's tool: if you're the housing association running Awaab's Law across a stock with statutory clocks, work orders, and
