IsItCorrect Photographic Auditing Tool ("PAT") is an iOS app that is available for free from the Apple App Store for iOS devices.
Please note that development of the IsItCorrect app is frozen except for matters of high importance such as security and stability fixes.
The purpose of this freeze is to give stability to users, particularly business users, who would like to review the app and its functionality without being disrupted by minor updates.
Development is anticipated to resume in several months and any feedback provided in the intervening timeframe will be taken in to consideration at that time.
IsItCorrect PAT is a Photographic Auditing Tool ("PAT") designed to quickly and efficiently allow for the auditing of physical environments.
This particular app has been designed for areas without internet connectivity and/or for the auditing of sensitive areas.
The app is entirely offline and does not even save produced audit reports (which are normal PDF's) to the cloud.
You have to manually retrieve the audit PDF's, such as via the default Files app (which lets you e-mail the PDF somewhere) or by connecting the device to a computer and retrieving the PDF via iTunes.
After starting an audit session in the app you can easily fill in the required details of an audit item and take photographs of that item.
Box in the wrong spot? Notices put up correctly? It is easy to record the good and the bad as you move through your physical environment, be it a home, office, warehouse, or other type of area.
If the item you're examining has both good and bad aspects you can record this too.
The app attaches the information you provide to each photo so once you've taken a photo you can change the correctness / compliance status and the reason, and take another for what is technically the same item, or you can treat the good and the bad as different items - the choice is yours.
As you take photographs the app informs you of the number taken thus far and finishing an item is a single button press, clearing all fields so you're ready to move to the next item.
Taking photographs uses the familiar apple camera interface and photos can be taken in any orientation and that orientation will be saved and used for the audit report.
When you're finished push the complete audit button and everything you have recorded is processed and stored in a PDF that you can open in a PDF reader of your choice.
You can review the produced PDF from within the app, just to make sure it is there.
Warnings, errors, and other alerts appear promptly and, where possible, suggest action you can take to resolve issues, such as having low storage space on your device or not having the camera permissions set correctly.
The audit PDF that is produced focuses on the photo you took, with it taking up the vast majority of the space available.
The reason follows in importance, centralised at the top. Of note is that the reason can be longer than the space it is assigned and if it is too long it will just draw over the photo until it runs off the page, so you can have quite lengthy reasons if needed.
Some app branding and quick-recognition good or bad images take up the rest of the space, making it clear what produced the PDF and if the item was marked as being correct / compliant or not.
The PDF is in landscape orientation so it comes ready for use in presentations whilst also allowing maximum space for photos taken in landscape orientation.
There are some things the app does not do, for example it won't let you edit any photos already taken - if you make a mistake, keep going because it's actually easy to fix when the PDF is produced.
Since each photo is independent and on its own page any unwanted photos are easy to delete - you just use your preferred PDF editing tool to delete the entire page it is on and it will have no effect on the content in the rest of the document.
Finally the app is somewhat robust and preserves data whilst running however if you terminate the app or if it is terminated by the Operating System (e.g. it is idle for too long, or your battery goes flat), the active audit session will be lost entirely, so please keep this in mind before starting an audit session and during a session.
IsItCorrect does not have any functionality within the app to transmit data to an external location, including to the developer, David Storey (the "Developer").
The Developer does not obtain any information about your use of the app unless you explicitly share it with him or where you interact with the App Store and Apple as per your agreements with Apple.
In the event that information is obtained the Developer will endeavour to store it securely and aims to promptly remove any information that appears to be sensitive, such as personally identifiable information, to the extent that it is not needed to communicate with you such as if you have reported an issue with the app and asked for a response.
In general, information obtained by the Developer that you do not directly provide will be retained only as long as it is necessary to retain it and, where possible, the only information retained will be generalised and anonymised (e.g. for statistical reporting).
Examples of information that you directly provide are correspondence, including the use of the contact form on the IsItCorrect website (i.e. this page).
Examples of information that you do not directly provide are usage statistics and issue reports that may be produced as a result of your interactions with Apple and the App Store.
Information obtained by the Developer will not be shared with third parties unless you have explicitly authorised that sharing or it is required to be shared by law.
If you would like to know what information of yours has been obtained by the Developer through your use of IsItCorrect you may contact the Developer using the form on this page.
You may be asked to verify your identity before any information is provided.
This policy is available on the IsItCorrect website and may be updated from time to time.
The developer of this app is David Storey. You can contact David using the form below.
