I built a mobile app called RouteForge for canvassing local businesses.

Not promotion, looking for feedback or help! I posted on here before and didn't explain it very well, and also realized a mobile version would make much more sense, but anyway:

It helps you:

find nearby businesses

build a route

open it directly in Google Maps

track outcomes like Follow-Up / Not Interested / Visited

save quick field notes and rough bids

Made it originally for window cleaning and pressure washing routes because Google Maps + paper notes was annoying as hell in the field.

Looking for a few Android testers actually doing local service sales/canvassing.

Not looking for “looks cool” feedback — I want people who will actually use it and tell me what’s confusing, annoying, or missing.

I posted earlier, but didn't describe it very well, so here is round 2.

I run a small service business and was getting tired of guessing which places to hit, who I already talked to, and when to follow up.

So I put together a simple desktop tool for myself that:

  • finds nearby storefronts
  • builds a route for the day
  • lets me track who I talked to and when to follow up

It’s nothing crazy, just made it so I’m not walking around blind anymore.

I figured it might actually help someone else here if you do any door knocking or cold calling.

I’m looking for a few people to try it and tell me if it’s actually useful or if I’m overthinking it.

No catch, just want honest feedback.

So I have seen quite a few people on here asking others how to get leads and get more clients for their new window cleaning business. I have been designing a pretty simple yet hopefully powerful helper tool for new cleaners to find decent commercial clients.

The tool I'm making is essentially a lead generator. You can search any city in the US, and there are roughly 30 different keywords you can select to search for: from storefronts to new possible construction builds. The tool will give you a list and categorize them into tiers most likely to use window cleaning to least likely. Then you give a starting location and it'll build a route for you to efficiently start door knocking these businesses. It also provides emails and phone numbers to these businesses when it can find them.

Please let me know if this is something you might think you'd use! I'm trying to find a couple people to send the app to them to help me test it out and hopefully optimize it even further.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. Again not a promotion and not selling anything to anyone I'm just trying to find a few people to help give me feedback on its usefulness.
