Am I the only one who thinks field-data tablets are a downgrade from paper?

I've been tracking job progress on a warehouse build outside Phoenix for 8 months now. Before we switched to tablets, I could mark up blueprints in 2 minutes flat. Now I spend 10 minutes fighting a laggy touchscreen and losing markup layers. The project manager says it's progress, but I've seen 3 field guys miss punch-list items because the app crashed during walkthroughs. Anyone else find these things slow you down more than they help?

@the_tessa battery life kills us more than the lag does.

Have you tried a stylus? Saved my sanity on job sites.

Did your buddy have a stylus that actually worked or did it still lag on them?
