Summary

Field App is Felt's new native mobile application for iOS and Android, designed to extend the capabilities of their cloud and AI-native GIS platform to mobile devices. It allows teams to collect data, access their workspace, and collaborate in real-time, offering a comprehensive field collection tool that integrates seamlessly with existing spatial workflows. Users can collect field data using custom surveys, precise measurements, and geotagged photos, with instant syncing to ensure data consistency and accessibility. The app also supports professional GIS tools for data analysis and decision-making on-site, and it maintains connectivity between field and office teams through live map updates. Additionally, Field App retains the full functionality of the Felt viewer experience, including access to maps, dashboards, and custom applications, ensuring seamless operation across devices. Offline support is under development, allowing teams to work without connectivity and synchronize data upon reconnection. The app is set to launch on the App Store and Google Play in early December, promising to enhance field operations with instant field-to-office workflows.
