### "Nick's SmartUse Review" — 5.0/5

> **Nick** | *October 19, 2021* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Knowing that everyone on site are looking at the same revisions, drawings, and scopes without any confusion.
> 
> **Cons**: Only thing is it was difficult to initially use the platform. The user-based accessibility at first is challenging, and the tutorial videos lack in explanation. After someone who had the program helped me learn, however, it is now simple and straightforward.
> 
> OVERALL, THE PLATFORM WILLBE TRANSFORMATIONAL FOR HOW PEOPLE USED TO USE DRAWINGS, SPECS, ETC. HAVING EVERYTHING IN ONE PLACE MAKES IT SIMPLE TO ENSURE EVERYONE IS LOOKING AT THE SAME, UP TO DATE DOCUMENTS. n

OCR is great.
