This app is exactly what I was looking for! It was easy to build my form and accomplished most of what I need for recording field data. There are two drawbacks: photos cannot be batch downloaded (you have to download each photo one at a time, which is a real time suck), and photo quality saved in the cloud is inferior to what would be saved on my phone. I will continue to use the app, but not record my photos in the data. Highly recommended otherwise!

This is a excellent application. It is easy to learn, develop, modify, use in the field, revise data, transfer data to spread sheet, and develop a site map. We are using it to survey and catalog the contents of a 5 acre garden of plants and animals with hundreds of native and imported species with GPS locations, photographs and notes. Instructions for use are helpful however not as explicit as it could be. Trial and error was necessary to make it work for our specific use. Because of its ease of use and capability of modification during the early stages of the project when finding unexpected discoveries the site could be taylored on the fly for improved specificity. Feel free to check out the Epicollect5, Everglades Wonder Gardens.

The app is excellent for the collection of field data. Easy to create and deploy forms across several devices. One drawback is that I could not figure out a way to download all the medie e.g photos in bulk at once. The documentation does not help in this regard. Looking for a solution.. Pls advise. Overall it is a wonderful app. Thank you to the team for creating this gem.
