Xaap

I have been using this application since it was a project rollout. The app has come a long way since the beginning, and still continues to improve. I have personally offered opinions and concerns over the application and have seen some of them come to life. As an inspector who performs inspections within multiple fields I see some things that others might not notice. It is being uniformed across the different inspection sub fields to help with this issue. The biggest improvement that I have seen is with the healthcare Joint Commission format. There are still a few things I would like to see as I have been through many accreditation surveys with my customers. I have seen reviews that mention the ability to type information into an excel form rather than the phone app. This is already something that has been done as all that has to be done is typed up and completed and then sent up to the CIS team to import into the customer. The turnaround is now pretty quick and something that has been improved tremendously. The application is only as good as the information that is put into it. The more detail and time taken with the reporting the more chance that it will stand out in quality vs other reporting methods.

Been using this application since it’s rollout and have noticed a lot of changes for the better, starting out it took awhile to understand some of the lingo used in the app but after some updates and sending feedback a turn around was noticed. Issues I’ve noticed are when conducting a sprinkler inspection the amount of times being asked when the five year internal obstruction test was completed, seems redundant. Also An example of using the ST1 Box or Exac tech box, while performing a sprinkler inspection I’ve come across panels not showing me tampers and flows, but appear in the Fire Alarm report downloaded for the same building, the explanation given was that tampers and flows fall under NFPA 72, but if we’re to use this box the points should be downloaded to its respective report. Also have come across both Sprinkler and Fire Alarm devices mixing into one report from panel downloads.

Yesterday me and my partner were doing a fire alarm inspection and either he or the app pressed the EVAC button. I caught it and tried to reset it real quick so nothing would happen. After we saw that the panel was reset we continued testing during the time he was testing a pull station the alarms went off. My question is when the EVAC button is pressed does it set the building off or cancel the bypass that are in place and is it possible to add a failsafe so that the button cannot be pressed so easily?

App is fast and nice. Has a tun of work needed. App has limited to no information for customers. Says xaap on every page instead of the company performing the inspection. There’s no auto answer all for initiating devices only notification devices. Should be able to have more then one person on the app to pass devices at the same time. Another problem say you do a download of devices from FACP and create it add all the audio visible devices then example facility has an addition and you want to add the items so you sync the panel to download new devices the audible visible devices are removed and now you have to re add ever single audible visible devices all over again plus the new ones from the addition. App is great just has a lot to improve before used for customers.

App is responsive and app support is also responsive. I think the developers have never performed or are familiar with doing an inspection of life safety equipment and that shows in the questions asked in the app. Also gateway function should pull in addressable notification devices. The whole point of addressable audio visuals, strobes, and speaker strobes is for report purposes so why make us type them all in. Another great addition would be the ability to fill out an excel spreadsheet form and upload the spreadsheet into the app instead of manually entering 100s or thousands of devices into the app. Application gets better the longer it’s been worked on.
