Good app
By Pkd58 (Pcmac user)
Very easy to create a mobile data collection app with mapping built in.
These low star reviews are often complaining about things unrelated to the purpose of the app. GPS accuracy, come on, that's not a function of the app but of the GPS data stream's source. You think an iOS device by itself is survey grade?
Unreal what some folks complain about. Write a collection app from scratch then come back and try the app.

Always an issue, not reliable
By Boobies0000 (Pcmac user)
ESRI makes amazing software for the desktop, but fails at its iOS apps. Every time I go to collect data in the field something always goes wrong. Stops recording GPS location and then “jumps” leaving a nice straight line, now I cannot sync my field data due to bad credentials (I am logged in with the app and now it won’t sync my work), and not to mention the inability to add point features while I am streaming a polyline.
I am giving up on the the app app and will be using other mapping apps for data collection. Days worth of work now stuck in limbo due to some issues with this app. Worthless.

Good app, seems to have issues on iPhone X
By Protobiont (Pcmac user)
Good app over all and very useful. However, it needs to be updated for the iPhone X, and there seems to be a bug where the location “hangs” on my iPhone 10. After using it for a few minutes the location stops updating as I move around. If I switch to google maps, the problem persists. If I restart the phone and open google maps my location is super accurate again. As soon as I open the app the problem reappears. Not good for data collection.

FEMA only has issues.
By Aleks Alhambra (Pcmac user)
Working on Puerto Rico and Texas for several hurricanes, this app and ESRI itself has only given FEMA headaches attempting to sync offline dots and add online dots as well. It’s a slow service that requires more servers - how does it take minutes to upload a kilobyte file? Unacceptable.
No good prepopulation solution - the existing one is finicky and leads to one accidentally cancelling or dropping the dot in the exact same location rather than be useful.
