Android beta app
The Android beta app
An Android app for the field that works with no signal. It is a beta. You install it from a file, not from an app store.
What it does
- You sign in with your own email and password.
- You log boreholes, layers, DCP, samples and photos in the paddock, with no signal.
- The phone keeps your changes in order. When the signal comes back, it sends them. A repeat never makes a double record.
- A strip shows what is waiting to send: Waiting, Sending or Sent.
Offline sync is a beta too. Keep an eye on the waiting strip before you leave a site.
How to get it
Email us and ask for a beta invite. We send you the file and your invite.
Install it
- Open the file on your phone.
- Android asks you to allow installs from the app you used (for example your browser or files app). Turn on Allow from this source.
- Press Install.
- If Play Protect warns you, press More details, then Install anyway.
A newer file installs over the old app. Your data stays. Do not uninstall first: removing the app also removes work that is not sent.
Sign in
Use the email of your invite. If you do not have a password yet, ask for a link with Forgot password on the web app. See Forgot your password.
No signal in the web app
The web app needs a signal to save. On the web, write rough notes and enter them when you have signal. Each form saves when you press its button.
