Mobile App (iOS/Apple)

Mobile App Version 10.30.4

What's New
Version 10.30.0 delivers stability and usability fixes across iOS, addressing crashes, menu behavior, scroll issues, and photo ordering — with several fixes specifically targeting iPad and the recent iOS 26 update.
Why It Matters
These fixes resolve disruptions that were interrupting inspection workflows — from menus that wouldn't stay open to summary scroll issues — so you can move through your inspections without fighting the app.
Details
  • Fixed the top-right 3-dot menu and search dropdown on iPads that were collapsing immediately or crashing the app
  • Fixed search menu behavior in landscape mode on iPad — menus were dismissing before users could interact with them
  • Fixed dialogs disappearing on iPads running iOS 26+, including the back button confirmation and annotator settings reset dialogs
  • Fixed cover photo not updating when taken from the camera on iOS 26
  • Fixed Summary report scroll position resetting to the top after editing a comment or viewing a photo
  • Fixed missing "Photo," "Photos," and "Video" button labels in app comments caused by large font size settings
  • Fixed Info Only defect comments appearing in app search results; these comments are now correctly excluded
  • Fixed the 3-dot comment menu on tablet devices, collapsing before users could make a selection
Timing & Audience
Version 10.30.4 is rolling out gradually to all iOS users over the coming days. Update your app to get the latest fixes.
What's New
Several fixes this week across the web editor, reinspections, and report delivery — covering everything from broken image loads to a PDF that apparently never learned how to read.
What We Fixed
  • Report name link clickable before report finishes building:
    The report hyperlink on the Inspection Details page is no longer clickable until the report is fully generated, preventing dead-end clicks mid-build.
  • Published report showing "How to access your report" screen instead of the report
    : Fixed an issue where clients could not access published reports through the client portal despite all agreements being signed and payment received in full. Clients were incorrectly routed to an access checklist screen rather than the report itself.
  • Reinspection images not loading unless original report is open (V10):
    Report media is now properly copied to reinspections, so images load as expected without needing the original report open in the background.
  • 4-Point report showing empty section headers when no photos are present:
    Section headers in 4-Point reports no longer appear when there are no associated photos, keeping the output clean and professional.
  • Unable to add captions or location tags to reinspection photos:
    Captions and location tags can now be added to reinspection photos without issue.
  • Reinspection PDF report name breaking mid-word:
    Line breaks in reinspection PDF report names now fall between words, not in the middle of them.
What's New
A handful of quality-of-life improvements and bug fixes across payments, agreements, scheduling, and the inspection details experience.
Why It Matters
Less friction in everyday workflows — discount codes accept the formats you actually use, calendar previews load reliably, and a few longstanding payment and integration quirks are now resolved.
Details
Improvements
  • Discount codes now accept hyphens:
    Codes like
    2026-VIP
    are now valid — dashes are no longer stripped.
  • "Link" payment label on Payout Details:
    Payout Details now correctly displays "Link" (instead of "Card") when Link was used as the payment method, matching the rest of the UI.
  • Agreement display when inspector is hidden:
    When the "hide inspector name and photo" agreement setting is enabled, the inspector area now shows blank space instead of the company logo and name — important for companies operating multiple sub-brands under one Spectora account.
Bug Fixes
  • Calendar hover popover:
    Fixed sporadic failures where the inspection detail popover wouldn't render when hovering over calendar entries.
  • $0 payments in Fees & Payments modal:
    Resolved odd behavior where $0 payments were reassigned to the Primary Client or Primary Balance section after refresh, plus a small alignment fix on the Refund modal's Cancel button.
  • RecallChek submission in manual mode:
    Inspections created in "manual mode" (charges added directly rather than selected from the catalog) now properly submit to RecallChek.
  • Inspection Details edit error:
    Fixed an HTTP2 protocol error some users hit when editing the Inspection Details page in Chrome.
Timing & Audience
All users — these changes are live in production now.
What's New
A display issue causing video captions to disappear in expanded view has been resolved.
What We Fixed
  • Video Caption Not Visible in Expanded View:
    Captions now appear beneath the video player in expanded view, consistent with how photo captions are displayed.

Web Editor

Weekly Web Editor Bug Fixes

What's New
The web editor now supports full keyboard navigation, along with several bug fixes improving editor reliability and display accuracy.
Why It Matters
Power users can move through inspections without touching the mouse — faster, more fluid editing from start to finish.
Details
Keyboard Navigation
  • Arrow Up/Down
    navigates between sections, items, and comments in their respective panels — clamps at first/last (no wrap)
  • Switching comment type tabs
    resets panel navigation so the next keypress starts from the top
  • Arrow keys inside text editor
    behave normally — no panel navigation interference
  • Cmd+Enter (Mac) / Ctrl+Enter (Win)
    saves comments in both the Add Comment modal and the inline editor; Enter alone creates a new line
  • Tab / Shift+Tab
    navigates location buttons in the Media Caption modal; Enter saves and closes
Bug Fixes
  • 2026 Wind Mitigation Special Form V10 badge
    users on V9 get a clear error message that the form is V10 only
  • Ampersand character in template spreadsheet exports
    now displays correctly instead of showing
    &
Timing & Audience
Available now to all web editor users.
What's New
A calendar icon display bug has been resolved — inspections that were fully paid would sometimes still show a red (unpaid) icon after an add-on was added and then removed post-booking.
What We Fixed
  • Calendar icon incorrectly showing as unpaid after add-on removal:
    If an add-on was added to an inspection after the initial payment and later removed without any additional charge, the inspection remained paid — but the calendar icon wasn't reflecting that. The icon now correctly updates to show the paid status in this scenario.
What's New
Fixle Protection Products are now available in the Client Portal, giving buyers easy access to services like insurance, warranty, and home security to support them through closing and beyond. Protection Products are enabled by default for U.S. inspectors. Only services you have toggled on in your settings will be visible in the Client Portal.
You're In Control
You decide which services are visible in your client portal. You can turn individual products on or off based on your business needs.
Manage your settings here: https://app.spectora.com/partnerships
How It Works
Buyers who engage with Fixle Protection Products are connected with high-quality partners to help them get the coverage and services they need at the right time. Offers appear in the Client Portal. Buyers choose whether to engage, and no data is shared unless they consent.
Timing & Audience
Available to all U.S. inspectors as of today. Inspectors who have previously disabled Fixle Protection Products will not see this change.

Web Editor

Weekly Web Editor Updates

What's New
This week's web editor update adds new flexibility to Wind Mitigation special form and comment configuration, with fixes to template export reliability thrown in for good measure.
Why It Matters
Inspectors get more control over how photos and comments are structured in published reports, and template exports are now far less likely to fail without explanation.
Details
2026 Wind Mitigation: Custom Photo Category Comments
  • Inspectors can now create custom photo category comments within the Additional Information > Photos Item section of the 2026 Wind Mitigation template
  • Custom categories render as labeled groupings in the published PDF, with photos organized under their respective headers
  • Empty photo categories are automatically suppressed from PDF output — no label or section appears if no photos are uploaded
  • The default Photos comment remains unchanged as a catch-all for uncategorized photos
Note:
Download the (2026) Florida Uniform Mitigation Verification Inspection form from the Template Center to access this feature
2026 Wind Mitigation: Roof Coverings Section Column Text Rendering
  • More text now renders in Roof Coverings columns; however, very long text will continue to be cut off
Note:
Download the (2026) Florida Uniform Mitigation Verification Inspection form from the Template Center to access this fix
Multiple Choice Now Available for Defect and Limitation Comments
  • Multiple Choice is now an available comment type option for Defect and Limitation comments in the web editor
  • Checkbox remains the default; Multiple Choice is an additional option
  • Matches existing comment type behavior in the mobile app and template editor
  • Existing Defect and Limitation comments retain their current configuration without disruption
Template Export Reliability
  • Fixed silent export failures caused by text content exceeding Excel's character limit
  • Fixed export crashes affecting admin users in certain account configurations
  • Exports now complete reliably instead of failing without explanation
Timing & Audience
Available now to all Web Editor users. Wind Roof Coverings improvements require downloading the updated (2026) Florida Uniform Mitigation Verification Inspection form from the Template Center.
What's New
You can now hide inspector images and names on all unsigned agreements (both existing and future) with a new global setting under Agreements.
Why It Matters
This is especially useful for companies offering ancillary services where the primary inspector isn't performing the service. When enabled, no inspector photo or name will appear on unsigned agreements, allowing you to maintain proper credential representation and avoid displaying the wrong inspector for specialized services. Please note that this setting does not impact placeholder text set for your agreements.
Details
  • New setting available under Agreements in your dashboard
  • Applies globally to all unsigned agreements (existing and future)
  • When enabled, no inspector photo or name will display on unsigned agreements
  • Particularly helpful for ancillary services performed by certified specialists
Timing & Audience
This update is available to all users as of today.
What's New
This week's release includes fixes for issues affecting final report navigation, signature field display, and placeholder rendering in the Web Editor.
What We Fixed
  • Table of Contents navigation on mobile browser
    — Clicking a section in the TOC side menu would intermittently fail to navigate to the correct section, especially after scrolling up and re-selecting.
  • Signature field displaying when empty
    — Empty or removed signature fields were still appearing in the report preview. Edit buttons were also getting cut off when a signature section landed at the bottom of a page. Both are resolved.
  • Inspector notes placeholder rendering <p> tags
    — The {{INSPECTOR_NOTES}} placeholder was outputting raw HTML tags in the Web Editor, Web Viewer, and PDF instead of clean text.
