Frequently asked questions
Yes. The day’s inspections download to the device ahead of time. Results, comments, and photos can be logged with no connection and sync automatically once the device is back in range.

GovWell offers native apps for iOS and Android, built for phones and tablets.
Building, code enforcement, fire, rental, and any other inspection type your department runs in GovWell, all from one schedule.
The applicant is notified automatically by email as soon as the result is logged, with your photos attached.
Pricing depends on the modules you need and how you plan to roll out GovWell. We’ll work with you to understand your needs and put together a proof that makes sense for your team.
