Key issues include lack of batch photo downloads, inability to edit remote entries directly on mobile, reduced photo quality in cloud storage, limited time input precision, and occasional app crashes during photo capture or multitasking. Overall, despite some limitations primarily related to photo handling and data editing on mobile, it's regarded as an excellent, user-friendly tool for GIS and field data collection.

Execellent app for location-based (GIS) mobile data collection. I have used it extensively in my mapping projects at Orbital Africa Ltd. Thanks to developers!
