SOR turns a site walk into an issued observation report — photos, markup, observations, PDF — without going back to the office to write it up in Word.
We're not asking you to test it. We're asking you to use it on one real site walk and tell us where it let you down. Ten minutes to get set up, one walk, then a two-minute form.
01 / Five minutes
Get SOR on your phone
SOR is free on the App Store and Google Play. No invite, no tester list. If you'd rather not install anything yet, the browser version at the bottom works on any phone or laptop.
iPhone, iPad or Android — from the store
Tap the button for your phone and install SOR: Site Inspection Report like any other app.
Open it. Your first report works straight away, with no account.
To keep your work across phone and laptop, sign up in Settings → SOR Cloud. It's free.
Same app, nothing to install, works on a laptop too. Good for a first look. You'll create a free account on first open — that's what keeps your projects and reports in your own workspace across your phone and laptop.
Do one real site walk with it. Not a demo — an actual walk you were doing anyway. Aim for 10–20 photos, mark up the ones that need it, and write the observations as you go instead of in the office after.
Issue the report to whoever normally gets it. Generate the PDF and actually send it — to the contractor, the consultant, your PM. That last step is where most site apps fall over, and it's the one we most need you to push.
Stuck at any point? Tap Help in the bar at the bottom of the app — the same three guides are in there and they work with no signal.
Try it where the signal is bad. Basements, cores, lift shafts, an unfinished podium. SOR is built to capture with no connection and sync later — if that fails on your site, it's the single most useful thing you can tell us.
03 / While you use it
What we're asking you to notice
Six things. You don't need to write them down as you go — just be aware of them, and the form at the end asks about each one.
Time. How long did the walk plus the report take, compared with how you do it today? A rough number in minutes is fine.
The moment you got stuck. Where did you stop and think “how do I…”? That exact screen is worth more to us than any general opinion.
What you still had to do outside SOR. Retyped anything into Word or Excel? Renamed files? Sent photos separately on Viber or WhatsApp? Fixed the PDF afterwards? Each of those is a hole in the app.
Whether you'd send it as it came out. Would you put that PDF in front of a contractor or a client unedited — or is there something in it you'd be embarrassed by?
No signal. Did capture keep working underground or in a core, and did everything come back when you got signal?
The one thing that would stop you using it. If there's a single blocker that means this doesn't work on your project, name it. Blockers get fixed first.

Then tell us — the feedback form
Mostly tick boxes. Please fill it in even if you only had a quick look — “I only got 10 minutes and here's why” is a real answer.
Kind, but it changes nothing. We can't tell what you did, what broke, or what to fix on Monday.
Changes what we build
“40-minute walk on L8, 22 photos. Markup was fine. The PDF took three goes — it kept dropping the last two photos, so I sent it on Viber instead.”
What you did, where it broke, what you did instead. That's a fix we can make.
The short version: what you did → where it broke → what you did instead. One line each is plenty. Being blunt is doing us a favour — we'd rather hear it now than after a hundred people are using it.
05 / If something breaks
Send us four things
Don't wait for the form — message Stuart directly if the app stops you working.
A screenshot of the screen where it happened.
What you tapped just before it went wrong.
Your phone model — iPhone 13, Samsung A54, whatever it is.
Whether you had signal at the time.
Nothing you capture is shared with anyone outside this pilot. If you'd rather not use real project photos, a mock walk on any site works — just say so on the form.
