Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Confirm Your Device Meets Requirements

measureQuick runs on most modern phones and tablets. Check that your device meets these minimums.

• To check: open Settings > General > About and look at the Software Version line

Android:

• Phone or tablet running Android 10.0 or later
• To check: open Settings > About Phone (or About Tablet) and look at Android Version

Tablet support: measureQuick works on iPads and Android tablets. Tablets display more data on screen at once, and iPads support split-screen multitasking. If you have the choice, a tablet is a better field experience for reviewing diagnostics and generating reports.

Tip: If you cannot find the app, your device may not meet the minimum OS version. Update your operating system first, then search again.

Android: Permissions may appear during installation or on first use of each feature. Select Allow for each one. If you accidentally deny a permission, go to Settings > Apps > measureQuick > Permissions to change it.

2. The app opens to the login screen
3. Enter the email address and password you used when creating your account (see Creating Your measureQuick Account)

Step 5: Keep the App Updated

measureQuick releases regular updates with new features, bug fixes, and tool compatibility improvements. Keep your app current.

iOS

• Open the App Store
• Tap your profile icon (top right)
• Scroll down to see pending updates
• Tap Update next to measureQuick, or tap Update All

To enable automatic updates: go to Settings > App Store and toggle App Updates on.

Android

• Open the Google Play Store
• Tap your profile icon (top right)
• Tap Manage apps & device
• Under Updates available, find measureQuick and tap Update

To enable automatic updates: in the Play Store, tap your profile icon, then Settings > Network preferences > Auto-update apps.

Tip: You can also check for updates from within the app. Go to Settings and scroll to the bottom to find Check for Updates, which directs you to the App Store or Google Play if an update is available.

If your app version is more than two releases behind, some features may not work as expected. Update before starting a job.

Step 6: Explore with Demo Mode

You do not need smart tools connected to explore the app. Demo Mode populates sample data into any workflow so you can learn the interface before going to the field.

1. From the home screen, tap the Settings cog (gear icon)
2. Tap Advanced Settings
3. Toggle Enable Demo Mode to ON
4. Return to the home screen

With Demo Mode enabled, the app provides pre-loaded demo data scenarios you can apply from Settings. Available scenarios include A/C Normal Operation (R-410A), A/C Normal Operation (R-22), A/C Normal Operation Non-Invasive, Heat Pump: Heating, Gas Furnace, Refrigeration, A/C Overcharged TXV System, and A/C Low Airflow with Undercharge (Fixed Metering Device). Use "Reset Data" to clear demo data and start fresh. You can walk through an entire workflow, view diagnostics, and generate a sample report.

Tips & Common Issues

The app does not appear in the App Store or Google Play

Your device's operating system may be too old. measureQuick requires iOS 15.0+ or Android 10+. Update your OS and search again. If your device cannot update to those versions, it is not supported.

Bluetooth tools are not connecting

Confirm that Bluetooth permission is granted to measureQuick. On iOS, check Settings > Privacy & Security > Bluetooth and verify measureQuick is listed and enabled. On Android, check Settings > Apps > measureQuick > Permissions > Nearby devices (or Bluetooth, depending on your Android version).

Also confirm that Bluetooth is turned on globally in your device settings.

Location data is not populating

Grant location permission set to "While Using App" (iOS) or "Allow" (Android). If location is already enabled, confirm your device has GPS or network-based location turned on. Indoor locations sometimes have poor GPS signal.

I transferred apps from an old device and measureQuick does not work

If you bought a new device and transferred your apps, measureQuick may not work correctly because not all library data transfers in that process. Delete the app and reinstall it from the App Store or Google Play. After reinstalling, confirm that all app permissions (Bluetooth, Location, Camera) are enabled in your device settings, then log in again.

The app uses too much storage

measureQuick stores project photos and cached data locally. If storage is a concern, periodically review your saved projects and remove completed ones you no longer need on the device. Cloud-synced projects remain accessible from the web.

Phone vs. tablet: which is better?

Both work. Tablets show more data per screen, which helps when reviewing diagnostics, multi-zone data, or generating reports. Phones are easier to carry while working at the equipment. Many technicians use a phone in the field and a tablet for report review and customer walkthroughs.
