"GOCANVAS review"
What do you like best about GoCanvas?

It can be used on my phone as an app. It allows my company to go almost paperless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoCanvas?

It takes longer to input data than it does to write it down on paper. The time value scrolls up and down on Apple products instead of being able to just type the time, which would be faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"VERY Customizable - completely changed how we do things"

This is one of the most customizable platforms we work with, making it a huge asset. As we use it, we keep improving it. Whatever you need, you can make it happen with some imagination. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoCanvas?

Designing and creating the apps wasn't the easiest thing, but they also have an option where someone can do it for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Construction App"
What do you like best about GoCanvas?

We have just started working with GoCanvas and have had a pleasant experience so far. The training has been professional and very informative. I love that they have a customer support chat that is available right there when you are stuck. Also, the mobile app is easy to use! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoCanvas?

The only thing not so user-friendly is the PDF creater. Some functions do not work as well as we would like them to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Offering flexibility to fit any need"
What do you like best about GoCanvas?

We use Canvas to record field service cases. The ability to build a different app, or form, for the various contracts we hold saves quite a bit of money. In the past we've always run into apps that can provide some of the support we need, but lack a key piece. That left us to invent a work around, which often increases data variance, or purchase a secondary program. The support we've received from Canvas has also been top notch. No waiting around for days to receive a call back on a issue. They often give us calls just to check on how things are going and to tell us about new features. The latest being a calendar that was added to the dispatch screen. This lets us schedule and easily see how our field services are working the day. The price is extremely competitive for this sort of software as well. Its hard to list one feature as what we like best. All around the software has been great asset to our company. It also integrates with Zapier, which is just a bonus. There is a api that canvas freely offers if you want to do it the old fashioned way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoCanvas?

One of our main clients has a tendency to omit key items when discussing our contracts, then after we start they have new requirements for data capturing. The only issue we've run into has to do with these ocurrances. Apps cannot be changed without a version update, but once the version is updated data cannot be pulled from multiple versions at once. They may have new headers or be in a different order, which is why it is difficult to fix. However, when you're dealing with thousands of entries it is not always possible to do one of these updates. Also the regular search feature only searches the last 500 entries to a particular app. You can search everything when using the advanced search. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Canvas has changes how we do business"
What do you like best about GoCanvas?

The freedom to create products that are specific to my needs. The tools are easy to use and give me the ability to create almost anything. I cant say enough wonderful things about support. They generally respond within the hour and never stop until I have an answer or resolution. The platform is continually expanding, offering better options for the tasks I am trying to complete.

"A robust and easy to learn tool for any business."
What do you like best about GoCanvas?

Having access to forms and applications on mobile devices is a must in today's digital world. Canvas works flawlessly in this aspect. Elements on the screen are scaled beautifully, and the interface is easy to understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoCanvas?

The Canvas platform can handle a multitude of business processes; however, there lacks a connection of the information between apps. For instance if a purchase order is created, it would be nice to pull values from that form into a material receipt form. I think this kind of built-in feature would bring the Canvas experience to a whole new level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streamlining all of our operations"
What do you like best about GoCanvas?

The ease of creating and updating forms. I love the designer PDFs. They look great. I also love the Zapier integration. I integrate so many of our form submissions with Google Sheets. Very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoCanvas?

Not knowing if a photo field is going to create a second page on the designer PDF report. I have to test it several times before getting it right. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Canvas helped us solve our reporting needs"
What do you like best about GoCanvas?

The mobile client and desktop client make it very easy on our staff to input information consistently and correctly. Also, being able to customize the app for our specific needs is a big plus. And once the information is entered, having the consistent output report format keeps everyone on the same page with expectations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoCanvas?

While we are able to customize the PDF reports, they do have their limitations and are sometimes difficult to get the information organized in the desired format. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Use it for national installations proof of completion"
What do you like best about GoCanvas?

Reliable and lots of convenient features. Easy to read reports, fairly easy to design apps. The new interface is beter than before. You can now copy questions. Much faster to create custom apps Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoCanvas?

Not much these days. Since the improvements made in the update, it has become much more user friendly. The new app builder is just as easy to use as the old one with some more features. Some people say they do not like the new App builder, but it is A-OK Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
