What GenbaReport is
GenbaReport (App Store name: GenbaReport: Site Photo Log) is an iPhone and iPad app by Rivership, an indie studio in Tokyo, for people in Japanese construction and renovation who have to hand over a photo ledger (工事写真台帳) and a completion report.
You import site photos into a project, the app adds the chalkboard information to each photo, and it builds the ledger and report as PDFs. The interface and the PDFs are mainly in Japanese.
