Pros

“Add Tip Feature, ability to text directly from the app to clients without having to use a 3rd party crm phone application like Talk Route or integrate with one that we can move our number over to.”

Amber N.

Owner

“I love the fact that my customers know when I'm on my way to their pool, they know when I leave, they know what services I performed while I was there, and not only do they get a text when I finish, but they also get an e-mail containing a detailed report along with photos of their sparling clean pool!”

Gary H.

Owner

“The workflow improvements have been great - LOVE the new Jobs tab that allows you to see the entire job from Quote - to Approved Quote - to Work Orders (Completed Work Orders/Total Work Orders) - to Invoicing.”

Cons

“They keep adding stuff that is not relevant, it is complicating and crowding what was a perfect app. If I need to text a clients I'll do it on my phone, Skimmer charges for each text.”

Bob C.

Owner

“The app occasionally logs you out, requiring re-entry of login credentials, which can be inconvenient during busy schedules.”

Juan R.

Office manager

“The only thing I dont like is not being able to see a breakdown of stripe payments and the fees associated per customer”
