## Reviews

### "Great value for the money" — 4.0/5

> **Alvin** | *18 August 2017* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Simplicity in design. Easy to train someone to get takeoffs done. Simple to operate. Videos to watch for training.
> 
> **Cons**: 3-d viewing features. Key for unlocking program makes it difficult to use different computers. Payment system.

### "Earthworks On Screen is a great product." — 4.0/5

> **Ray** | *12 September 2017* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Easy to use, fast digitizing, intuitive commands, and accurate scaling to ensure quantities are calculated correctly.
> 
> **Cons**: It would be great if this was directly linked to estimating software to the entries and calculation would be shared.
> 
> For the cost, this was the best choice for my needs. I compared several trial versions and this was the clear choice.

### "Earthworks" — 4.0/5

> **Erin** | *08 December 2016* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It seemed easy to use.
> 
> **Cons**: The customer service hours were too short, especially in my time zone.
> 
> I had a trial offer of Earthworks software and I thought it was a good program. I had a little trouble downloading it at first but your IT person was very helpful. I would have chosen your software for purchase but the one thing that persuaded me to a different company is the 24/7 support. We are in a different time zone and it could possibly lead to a big problem if I have a deadline and a problem with my software and not be able to fix the issue if I am working into the evening. Other than that is was quite comparable  to the one I actually invested in.

### "Excellent. Very easy to use. Very accurate compared to manual takeoff" — 5.0/5

> **Ricky** | *05 June 2014* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like the layout and the ease of use. Brian at Tally Systems is great; he will help you anytime. He explains it so you can understand it very easily. This program makes doing takeoffs enjoyable. For an old country boy, this is definitely worth taking time to try it out.  If you try it out, you will more than likely purchase it.
> 
> **Cons**: I definitely do not have any complaints at all. And let me tell you,  if I wasn't satisfied with the program or the vendor, I would let someone know about it.

### "Shocked at how easy it was to learn." — 5.0/5

> **Eric** | *22 June 2018* | Utilities | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Very easy to use.  They thought of everything.  Very impressed with customer support\!  I love the demo videos within the program.
> 
> **Cons**: So far it has been a very good experience.  I can not complain.  Would be nice to have an phone app just to access the reports.
> 
> Looking forward to all of the updates.
