Review summary

Field Book is a well-designed, functional app widely appreciated by agricultural researchers for ad-free, customizable data collection. However, recent updates have introduced bugs causing frequent crashes and usability issues, such as difficulty editing data and slow performance. Users also report problems with data import errors and lack of data synchronization across devices. Developer support is praised for responsiveness and helpfulness.

Pros

App is simple, functional, and well-designed for field data collection.
It is ad-free and free to use, appreciated by researchers and students in agriculture.
Customization of trait lists with descriptions enhances its usefulness.
The developer (Trevor) offers helpful and prompt support for issues.
Works well for various crop breeding data collection, such as rice, banana, and cacao.

Cons

Recent updates introduced bugs causing crashes, especially in behavior tab and barcode scanning.
Users experience difficulty correcting mistakes as the app skips to empty data points, making editing hard.
App is slower and less smooth in the latest version compared to older versions.
Issues with importing data due to duplicate value errors, despite data having unique identifiers.
Lack of data synchronization across multiple devices limits multi-user access to the same database.

2025-01-16	Ma*****	After the last update, I cant change the behavior and once I put data on the main trait, and change to the next one, I can't go back. It just skips to the one that doesnt have data. When I try to press on behavior the app shows an error and closes

2023-06-03	Ru*****	I've been using this app for several years and find it very useful. Making customized trait lists has greatly increased its usefulness, especially since I can add descriptions and resources for students to use. I don't like the new tutorial format, however - the pulsing/flashing circles are annoying and distracting. The old tutorial was fine!
