## Reviews

### "Better project management" — 4.0/5

> **Hillel** | *07 September 2025* | Wholesale | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: This has made it much easier for project management and a lot smoother process. Much better than the way it used to be.
> 
> **Cons**: There are a few small things that are still not as good as i would have hoped but i can deal with them.
> 
> Bolt shines as a comprehensive, trade-focused solution for managing construction projects—especially excelling at scheduling, estimating, and centralizing workflows with strong integrations. However, its mobile experience can significantly undermine productivity for field crews due to ongoing stability and performance concerns. If your team relies heavily on mobile access in the field, these limitations are important to weigh.

### "Bolt Review" — 4.0/5

> **Teri** | *12 August 2019* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Importing customer contact info (name, phone, email) should be automatic when a work order is generated for an occupied home. Then, a rep can ask the customer if this is still good contact info. They may have the option to change when scheduling.
> 
> **Cons**: Viewing and scheduling work orders on calendars could improve. Seeing multiple crews and their availability, locations would help us to determine if we have someone in area on a requested day/time.

### "Bolt" — 5.0/5

> **Brenda** | *12 August 2019* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Everything we do for every job is in one place - there is the audit feature so everyone will know who did what.&#10;The guys in the field can upload pictures and complete or change work orders&#10;I love the ability to invoice directly into my Quickbooks program
> 
> **Cons**: working out the kinks with invoicing has been kind of a pain
> 
> Overall this has been a very helpful product.  All of our employees are using the program and have the exact same access to all documents, work orders, etc. for each home.&#10;We have increased our billing and payment times as well

-----

### "A little laggy" — 4.0/5

> **Cindy** | *12 August 2019* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Streamlined our scheduling greatly. Nice to have everything in one program
> 
> **Cons**: A lot of lag and crashes more than I would like

-----

### "This app can be very useful..." — 2.0/5

> **Logan** | *13 August 2019* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Being able to pull up job site “blueprints” is very appealing
> 
> **Cons**: Lack of updates, losing tasks.&#10;Supervisor will task multiple things and it doesn’t get relayed to the field tech in time causing reoccurring visits to the job site... and on and on...
> 
> More frustrating than problem solving\!
