Easy cert, iPad and a mac!!

[shed69]

Hi Guys

I've downloaded the free app for ipad from easy cert and its looks the nuts.... I'm interested in buying the software license to be able to use it fully.... Does anyone know if I buy it will it allow me to email as PDF ... I use an iMac and Macbook so no windows 7 for me... Will buying the license mean i have to set up initially with a windows computer but once ive done it once it will be easy to just email everything as a pdf from my ipad when i return home from work?? sorry if this doesn't make sense.....

It does look a great app. Not played with it much but I don't see why you couldn't email as PDF whether yours using iMac or PC once you have the licence

look at Electrical certificates for iPhone iPod touch and iPad........ looks like the answer if it comes out.......

I had a look at the YouTube link posted by Shed69 it looks like once you have opened the complete cert in Dropbox it saves it as a PDF then it can be emailed.
I use Dropbox for other stuff also an exellent app also to have

I thought once you have done your thing with the app it then gets transferred to the main program on the computer before being converted into a full certificate.

as taken from the website:
EasyCert Mobile saves time and effort by not having to write certificates by hand onsite. You only need to input the information once and you are set. The powerful EasyCert Mobile wizards walk you through each part of the certificate allowing you to enter the information as you go.

You will still need windows it seams.

I will be keeping my eye out for that!

I think you will need windows but the icertifi app looks to me like you can simply email straight to yourself as a PDF and then Save it wherever you save your competed certs on your computer.....

I emailed the guy and he said that it is hoping to go live on app store within 10days .... Hasn't come back to me with a cost yet but only emailed him just now.....

 

[shed69]

Just come back to me now, going to be released within 10 days but the inspection sheet will be pir based as opposed to new eicr. This will then be updated in January to avoid any delays getting the app out as planned this month .... Cost.... ? What do you guess at guys????

 

[fuzzydunlop]

£6.99?

 

[Mark_Burgess]

Sounds like it wont be £1.99!

 

[shed69]

he tells me 20.99 which I think is really good .... looking around at all others i dont seem to get much change outta 250-300 notes!!

 

[fuzzydunlop]

Not to bad a price if the developer regularly updates it and it actually works as said. Here's hoping the iPhone 5 has a bigger screen

 

[shed69]

get an ipad....... or 13" macbook.......

i've got a 13" macbook pro, will the PDFs be editable once sent to your dropbox then?

 

[shed69]

not sure..... he told me that you don't even need a computer as you can print direct from ipad / iphone ... obviously you would need an air printer to do this.... I think pdf's are locked aren't they.... but if its on your mobile device you would just edit in there and resend ...? I have the easy cert app (without the license) and that stores them in the program.....

 

[fuzzydunlop]

The macbook would be irrelevant then..Ideally I'd like an app that also has desktop support, as good as it looks we all know it will be a fad and after a couple of certs you'll get ****ed off with typing in values etc..

 

[shed69]

You got iPhone fuzzywuzzy? If so go in app store type easy cert ,download it, it's free to this point and let's you do whatever you want to do...Have a play around with it.... If icertits anything like this one then I think it will be a great buy....

 

[fuzzydunlop]

I've got easy cert on my iPhone and like the concept but at the end of the day you're trying to do stuff on a phone. I've got a mobile keyboard which makes long typing easier but is still a compromise to a fully fledged (mac) certification software

I'll probably get the app or jailbreak the phone and have a trial run

 

[simpson93]

defo getting an iphone now

 

[shed69]

It's much easier on iPad than iPhone.......

 

[Glen Stimson]

yea iv'e been looking at the easy cert but i dont like the fact that if i wanna use it on an ipad or iphone you have to pay for an extra device. so will defo try icertifi

 

[shed69]

And the fact it's 225 notes !!!!

 

[Glen Stimson]

yeah thats without VAT and the additional license is £85 plus the £60 yearly cost for updates

FAO: glen,

hi mate, i believe that if you update to ios 5 firmware from apple, it integrates with the cloud. I hated itunes as it fowls up your registry but im getting along with it much better now it has the cloud!
If im out and take a photo on iphone or email someone, download an app or song etc, the exact same changes are synced with my ipad and desktop at home when i walk through the door and my devices are seen on my wifi connection without doing a thing!!

best nit - i bought some apps for about a tenner a piece and guess what, these have been transfered to my other devices too as these are registered with my wifi connection and my itunes account!

hope this helps. will check out the op's software suggestion now. cheers for the info all!

Can you not print as file? then select pdf. Then email that pdf file i know i can do that on vista.

Easycert does require a windows pc, but if you've got a mac you can always install windows on it by creating a virtual machine. I use virtualBox.
By the way easycert seems to be a really good bit of kit! only used it for 3 certs so far though
