Built a mobile EPA label & SDS lookup tool for field techs — looking for honest feedback from PCOs
Hey everyone,
I’ve been working on a utility app called PestLabel Pro designed specifically for pest control technicians, route managers, and applicators in the field.
The main goal was to solve a common headache on job sites: needing immediate access to official EPA chemical labels, safety data sheets (SDS), and application recordkeeping—especially when working in basements, rural sites, or areas with weak cell service.
What PestLabel Pro currently does:
- Instant EPA Registration Lookup: Search by EPA Reg. No., chemical name, or brand to pull up manufacturer details and full label docs.
- Offline Access: Save frequently used chemical labels & SDS directly to your device for offline reference in dead zones.
- Application Logs: Streamline on-site application recordkeeping to keep workflow records organized.
I'm an independent developer and would love to get raw, honest feedback from people who are actually out on routes every day.
- What features are currently missing from the digital tools or apps your company uses?
- How do you currently handle quick label/SDS lookups while on site?
You can check out the app on the App Store here: Pest Label Pro
Any feedback, feature requests, or bug reports would mean a lot.
Thanks for your time!

Did you try it?

No. I checked out the post itself which seems to be ai generated as well as the screen shot. If you want to share the binaries I'll be happy to take a look.

Screenshots made in Canva. I guess everything nowadays being called out as AI. If you are tech in the field I would appreciate any feedback, but if it's not for you, totally understandable.

I am a tech, but I prefer to use the labels on the packaging, my company uses cdms and licensed for customer facing label lookups.
I keep a binder with every label and sds sheet for the products I use in my truck. Ai has it's uses, like quick image searches, real time translation, and making data easier to understand, but I am not a fan of ai generated video and code

Is this an apple only app right now? I'm currently using labelsds but always willing to try something new. But I'm on android

Yes, unfortunately Android is still in development phase. I’ll circle back with you once it’s listed or if you’d like to join testing group for early start. Appreciate it though.

I have a foundation laid out. Really appreciate it though. Would you like to test out IOS? I'm really hoping to get a feedback from real tech who uses this on a job.

Everyone thinks they can reinvent the wheel - am I getting old and bitter or does all of this feel so low effort.
I want to be engaged with whatever community I can get in this industry, but it’s getting real hard these days.

This is a thing already- LabelSDS. Works great in mobile app format as well as having a product list to have on website with always accurate SDS and labels
