BILT

First of all, I must admit that I have never been a guy who enjoys assembling ANYTHING. There is nothing more frustrating than opening a box, seeing a bunch of parts, and then trying to decipher a set of written instructions.. Quite honestly, if I can't figure most of the assembly out without the manual, I "outsource" the project so as to save myself some frustration. That story held true until I ran across BILT. I LOVE THIS APP! The combination of visual 3-D product interaction capabilities that allow me to actually manipulate the product (including turning an any angle, zooming in and out, etc.), and verbal instructions make assembly MUCH EASIER and FUN. In addition, the ability to immediately register the product and store warranty information and you have one of the coolest and practical inventions that I have seen in quite some time. I would recommend BILT to everyone...including those who are not as "challenged" with assembly as I am...

Unfortunately for me, we had 2 door knobs to replace & I bet my husband I could install mine faster & more efficiently using the Bilt app ONLY, while he installed his with no instructions at all. I’m one of those weirdos who loves instructions & manuals & I was initially super excited to use this app, (honestly it’s right up my alley!) Well, I lost the bet because the app shows the door latch being installed backwards. So I installed everything in record time, locked the door from the inside to test it & was able to pull it open without unlocking it...what a freakin FAIL! *I checked the Defiant instructions (which were correct) & sure enough, the app was wrong. So I had to totally undo everything I just did & by that time my husband had finished & of course had to step in & show me the “right way to do it.” Uggh...pretty disappointed to say the least!! 2 stars because the app does have a lot of awesome features...but none of that really matters if the content is wrong!

Best app for assembling products. I do almost every assembly by myself, even when it says 2-4 people needed. But with the help from BILT, I can do it all myself. No more waiting on someone else or their schedules. With BILT I can run through the instructions to know exactly what to expect before actually assembling it. Love that I can pause and replay over and over at my pace rather than reversing a video and hoping to get in the spot you need. The graphics are great and the steps are broken down simply. They do vary from the paper version that comes with the product but I’ve come to rely on BILT, it is a better version for assembly. Every product should be in the BILT app! It would make the diy’s (like me)life so much easier.
