"dodgy and legally questionable practices"
The app does that it says it is supposed to do. It is a good way to fill out forms on the field, without internet and anywhere you may be.

What do you like best about Device Magic?

Easy to use web interface. Great for first time user and power users alike. I was able to pick up on the web interface and make forms within the first day. Granted, i have a bit of coding background. But i feel as though an entry level technician could have had the same experience as me. I love the chat feature on your webstie for support. No one likes to sit on hold on a telephone and the chat feature works great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Device Magic?

The form NEEDS an excel export function. Your biggest competitor, Fulcrum, has this feature. I need to be able to format and create custom formulas that cannot be calcualted within your interface. I would rerate my likelyness to reccommend Device Magic to a friend or colleague to a 10 with the implementation of this request. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Device Magic:

Highly recommend this software package. It makes getting data from the field to the office very seamless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Device Magic solving and how is that benefiting you?

ability to get data to the office quicker. We collect data and have the forms submit straight into Microsoft One Drive. This allows our Project Managers to grab the data quickly in order to provide our clients with timely data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Device Magic?

This app is simple to use and has lots of features that make it easy to tailor to our needs; we are constantly adjusting surveys which is easy to do and quick. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Device Magic?

i would like to be able to change (or have control over) more of the formatting; we have quite long surveys and it think it would be useful if the questions that had been answered could change colour, or if lists of options could be laid out in specific ways (or just all the same regardless of the number of options) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Device Magic:

If you aren't concerned about having a flashy product, Device Magic is great; it does everything we need at the moment . At the moment we aren't using the Enterprise level product which I'm sure would have lots of features that we could readily, but for now we are happy with the product as is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Device Magic solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are no longer wrangling with Microsoft Excel on iPads which was a bit of a nightmare; we have better control over our surveys and are more agile when we need to make adjustments to them. This has saved us time and energy in grappling with a system that didn't work, and we're happy with the switch we made. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Device Magic?

Breadth of options and filtering so I can create automations to make my team's lives easier. Being able to control the back end so much is amazing! If one user only has to provide 5 pieces of info, it's great that we can control hiding 30 other questions that COULD be available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Device Magic?

Would love some of the limitations updated, but the Device Magic team is constantly working on improvements so no real "dislikes". I would also love to see an interface settings option sometime, example: users being able to change whether they see a clock face or dial on Time questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Device Magic:

Use it, don't think about it, just do it. If you have anyone staffed with moderate to expert Excel formula skills then they'll catch on very quickly. The amount of reporting, database creation, ease of use, and professionalism expressed makes this a no-brainer software for any company. The instant a report is complete it goes to the necessary recipients. In an electronic age, paperless is VERY marketable. One report can be multi-purpose as a CRM, report, resource for another report, and can be split so individuals receive only the pieces they need. The Device Magic support staff is also incredible, every time I've put in a question I get a response within the hour or, if I submit late, first thing in the morning; they help with form creation, troubleshooting, ideas to optimize your forms, and they're friendly to boot. Incredible program for any business! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Device Magic solving and how is that benefiting you?

Paperless reporting. We are finding the speed at which admins receive reports greatly increases efficiency. The crew loves the speed of a table keyboard versus writing, and not dealing with penmanship (or lack there of) is a great perk. Have clients instantly receive these reports impresses them. I will be building informational sales sheets for my own use soon also. I love that I can build customized sheets ONE time and have clients think it's hand crafted for them every time (which it would have been), and it will double as a CRM databank so contact info is conveniently stored with notes.

What do you like best about Device Magic?

The UI for creating the custom forms is top notch. You never feel you NEED programming skills, yet if you want to get more advanced there are options for that too. The field app is rock solid. In rare cases when you need tech support they are very responsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Device Magic?

We're missing the ability to upload multiple photos in a single step, but are told it's on the road map. We work around this by uploading photos in bulk using the Google Drive app. However, if you only need a few photos uploaded it works well, and the compression of the photos is a perfect balance of size versus resolution. The UI for dispatching jobs is functional but looks awful and is difficult to use, starkly contrasted to the UI for form building. I'm told improving this is also on the roadmap and I trust them to follow through. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Device Magic:

Give it a try. If you don't see a feature, don't be afraid to ask for it from the developers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Device Magic solving and how is that benefiting you?

We need to collect data and photos in the field for every job and this works great for that. We also wanted to create our own custom field data collection app and this saved us lots of development money to accomplish that goal. Our field people refer to device magic as "the app." Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Device Magic?

Data capture on the go makes it super easy for the team to gather information and analyze a month's operation in just a couple minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Device Magic?

I wish the standard plan had some communication options to SQL databases & the analytics tool feels uncompleted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Device Magic:

Try it, you won't regret it. The forms are super easy to set up and flexible. You can literally do anything with this app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Device Magic solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are using it to apply internal audits, study procedure deviations and make summaries of routinary observations. We are also doing per-employee performance evaluations which help the team be more integrated and the workers have achieved higher levels of self-awareness. This has led us to a better work environment, safety and quality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Miranda Cheatham of Device Magic

Edgar,

Thank you for sharing such a glowing review of the Device Magic platform! We’re ecstatic to hear how mobile forms are benefiting your team from routine observations to performance evaluations. It sounds like you’ve also had the opportunity to use the analytics tool, our newest feature. Let us know if there is anything specific you might like to see from analytics in the future so that we may work them into our product roadmap. We sincerely appreciate your partnership and look forward to growing with you!

What do you like best about Device Magic?

The API functionality, easy integrations, numerous submission options, backup data storage, offline field use. We use the whole gamut of features that are provided and appreciate them greatly! The dispatch functionality is also particularly useful and we have integrated it with great success into other systems and software we use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Device Magic?

Its a tad pricey - better volume discounting would be greatly appreciated. The browser/desktop forms are buggy and neglected, and require major improvements to be useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Device Magic solving and how is that benefiting you?

Efficiency in data entry is massive - allowing us to only ever have to enter data once. We also use if to calculate required information and spit out useful reports and appendices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Device Magic?

Device Magic provides the ability to create custom internal forms with easy to manipulate predefined fields. The ability to set multiple outputs and design your own templates is a huge plus. Additionally, device magic provides the ability to define work flow by utilizing form dispatches to devices. We have even used the Resources function to provide valuable work plans (i.e. blueprints), bid docs, and vehicle registrations/insurance docs to employees quickly and easily when out in the field. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Device Magic?

The predefined output for a MS Word template is very basic. It basically spits out all the fields in your form in a list on the page with limited formatting and a lot of manipulation. To get a truly presentable final product you must design your output from scratch. Having a set of template ideas may be useful to customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Device Magic:

The ability to customize the output software is a key benefit for a small company. Anyone with MS Excel or database skills can easily understand the form setup platform. Not to mention the product is easy to change and adapt as company needs change. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Device Magic solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have a lot of work crews that travel 200/300 days a year. The ability to quickly submit job reports, inventory, receipts, etc. has been a huge benefit for these employees; especially because it is all from their mobile device and doesn't require computer access. Additionally, Device Magic provides a tool to deliver information and work tasks to these employees through dispatches. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
