## Reviews

### "Great software for my FF\&E Specs\!" — 5.0/5

> **Fiona** | *29 January 2018* | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Our company use Fohlio for both our residential and commercial design projects. We have looked into quite a few interior design softwares and found Fohlio best fit for our specification needs. One big pro is that we can create custom templates for different type of schedules or calculate our project profit in different ways. Other softwares do not provide such flexibilities.  Its workflow is also more natural to a design practice. I love how I can add product from vendor websites with Fohlio web clipper, and import my pin boards from Pinteret, and then create our centralized product library for future projects and mood boards
> 
> **Cons**: I wish they have more integrations with other project management softwares and provide more mobile friendly interface.
> 
> Streamline Specification process

### "Simply amazing\! I'm their biggest fan." — 5.0/5

> **Monica** | *02 November 2021* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Fohlio is the most powerful tool I've seen so far. I have been working with it for almost 5 years and they just keep on coming with better ideas all the time. I love how easy it is to use, I basically taught myself. But when I struggled, there is always someone that can lend me a hand. Their customer service is as good as their product. It's a must for architects, interior designers and anyone in the construction field. It is so customizable that I will probably be working with a gift curator on it\! It can be used for almost any task where you need to store data and images, it's that versatile. If you have ever dealt with more than one spread sheet to do your job, you need Fohlio\!
> 
> **Cons**: There isn't much say\! Many of the corky things it had have been taken away.
> 
> I'm in love with Fohlio\! 
I recommend it to everybody. It's such a time saving tool, the more you use it, the more time you save.

### "Glorified spreadsheet, limited functions, no catalog, waste of money" — 1.0/5

> **Andrey** | *17 May 2022* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: the promise of spec writing, but that was just wishful thinking
> 
> **Cons**: that there was no product catalog, it was only a spreadsheet and you don't have a database or catalog
> 
> they wont refund and no response, ignoring all communications

### "The product is great, and not just for designers and architects\!" — 5.0/5

> **Alexandra Dida** | *29 January 2018* | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It is extremely difficult to pick just one feature that I absolutely love. I have to say that I love that the software can easily be customized to fit my needs, this is its major advantage.
> 
> **Cons**: The only thing I did not like was that at larger projects, the loading speed of the page decreased. But this is perfectly understandable. However, if some improvements could be made on speed performance, that would be amazing\!
> 
> I saved lots of time with inputting product information and making stunning presentations. It has never been easier to be creative, when you have the proper tools.

### "Great when it wants to work bu Horribly Flawed otherwise" — 3.0/5

> **Jesse** | *19 December 2019* | Design | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like the features overall and the ease of inputting items.
> 
> **Cons**: It is constantly glitching - I get random duplicates of certain products that randomly appear and then disappear. The input will sometimes register my text or sometimes all together delete randomly what I have just input. When creating a proposal, etc. the money will not register correctly or will show a zero amount for each item and the total. It takes several hours to get a reply and help when this happens which is wasted downtime when working on a project so is very counter-productive to the process. Also, they have new search features but instead of allowing every paid person to access this they make you resign up with a higher amount after spending hundreds of dollars. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY.
