A quick walkthrough of a full inspection — from starting a new report to exporting the finished PDF. Most inspections take just a few minutes in the field.
Tap New Inspection (the plus button) to begin. Enter the property address and choose the role of the person you're inspecting with — Tenant, Owner, Buyer, Seller, Property Manager, Agent, or Other. Pick the inspection type: Move-In, Move-Out, Routine, Pre-Move-Out, Renewal, Periodic, Make-Ready, or Common Area.
Creating and editing inspections is part of Rinnovare Inspection Pro, a monthly or yearly subscription. If you got the app before version 1.1, everything stays unlocked for you. Without a subscription you can still open, export and share every report you already have.
If you've inspected before, the address, party name, and inspector will offer to fill in from your earlier reports — tap to accept.
Start the Exterior or Interior section and open each area — walls, roof, kitchen, and so on. For each, set the condition, note the materials, and add any observations.
Take a photo right in the app, or add one from your library. Each photo is fingerprinted and time-stamped the moment it's added, so the report can later prove the image hasn't been changed.
The app never saves photos back to your library or browses it. It only reads a photo when you pick one to import.
Tap the microphone and describe the area out loud — it's faster than typing on a phone in the field. Your speech is turned into text right on your device.
Dictation runs entirely on your device, which is what keeps your voice private. Pause as long as you like — it keeps listening and only stops when you tap the microphone again. You can type to fix anything it heard wrong.
Open Review & Export and tap Sign on the Inspector row, then on the second party's row (for example Tenant). Each person draws their signature and types their name as it would appear on paper. When the inspector signs, the device confirms it's them with Face ID, Touch ID or the passcode.
Signing seals that revision of the report. If anything changes afterwards, the report shows as unsigned until every party signs again, and every earlier revision stays on the record.
In Review & Export, tap Generate PDF. Choose where to save it — the app remembers the folder you used last time. That's your finished report, ready to keep on file, print, or send on. Reports can also include an Executive Summary page and a Poor items group, and you can share the findings as a spreadsheet.
Tap Send… and tap a teammate. That's it: the report is sealed so only their device can open it and is on its way, with Undo for a few seconds in case you picked the wrong person. It works wherever you both are, over Wi-Fi or cellular data. If you're offline, it waits on your device and goes as soon as you're connected.
Your teammate gets a notification such as Report from <your name> (or Report updated by <your name> when you send it again); one tap opens the whole report in their app — photos, signatures, messages and history included, with “verified unchanged” on the Received line.
To send to someone who isn't on your team, choose Someone else…: pick The PDF only (for a work order, The job sheet PDF only), or the PDF and a report file marked not encrypted, and send it by Mail, Messages or AirDrop.
Set Your name in About, so the people you send reports to see who they came from.
Every inspection and every work order has Messages. Type or dictate, Add photo if you like, and tap Send to your teammate: the message is sealed, delivered, and lands in the same thread on their device, with a notification. Under each message you see Sent, then Received by and Read by once a file from your teammate proves it. When you open a thread with new messages, the app offers Send receipt so the sender knows you read it; it goes only when you tap it.
The Messages tab lists every thread, newest first, with unread counts, and an Inbox for a message about a report you don't have yet. Messages are part of the record: they can't be edited or deleted, and they print in the report's PDF unless you switch off Include messages when exporting.
Open Team and tap Invite by link, then send the link by text, email or any app. When your teammate taps it, their app asks to add you and shows a safety number; they tap Add, and your app tells you they joined. In person, Add me to your team shows your QR code, and on iPhone and iPad Scan a teammate's code adds theirs. Each teammate shows a safety number: compare it in person or by phone, and if it matches on both devices, it is really them. If a teammate's device key changes, the app says so in words before you send.
Keys live only on your device. There is no recovery service: a new phone makes new keys, and your teammates see the change. A PDF is never encrypted. On iPhone and iPad, App lock asks for Face ID or your passcode when the app opens; it is on by default and can be switched off in About.
When you start a new inspection, choose the property type Tower / High-rise condo or Garden / Low-rise complex. A Building section appears: open Building setup to add its floors and common areas once, then inspect any unit or common area in it. Your properties and units are listed under Places (in the ••• menu on iPhone and iPad, in the sidebar on Mac).
From any finding, tap Raise work order. Track it from requested to approved, scheduled, in progress, completed and verified, with before and after photos, the vendor, and the estimate and actual amounts. Each work order can be shared as its own PDF.
After a move-out, the unit turn lists every line that needs work, and you mark the unit Ready to lease when it's done. Schedules repeat routine inspections for you, and the home screen shows what's Due this week. Tap Add to Calendar to put one in your calendar.
On a move-out inspection of a unit that also has a move-in inspection in the app, tap Compare to Move-In to see each area side by side with its move-in condition.
Every report ends with two things that make it hold up over time:
You don't have to do anything to produce these — they're built automatically as you work.
You can correct report details — address, party, inspector, date, condition, notes — after an inspection is created. Every edit is recorded in the Report Edit Record, so the report stays honest about its own history.
There are no accounts and no sign-ins. Subscriptions are handled by Apple. Your inspections, photos and reports are stored on your device. What you send to a teammate is sealed so only their device can open it; our relay passes it along without being able to read it, and deletes it once it's collected. Team delivery uses Wi-Fi or your cellular data; to use Wi-Fi only, turn off cellular data for the app in Settings › Cellular. Nothing is sold, and there is no tracking or advertising. See the privacy policy for the full detail.
Rinnovare Inspection is a tool for documenting the observed condition of a property at the time of an inspection, and for keeping that record on file. It is not a substitute for a licensed home inspection, a professional engineering evaluation, a pest or environmental assessment, or any inspection required by law, contract, or lending. The person conducting the inspection is responsible for the accuracy and completeness of what they record.
