  • QGIS field data with iOS device

    The long awaited solution for collecting field data (tabular and geometry) on iSO that syncs seamlessly with your local QGIS projects. You can customize your attribute field forms using QGIS widgets in a variety of functions. Collect points, lines and polygons in the field and populate your forms as you work. With the Mergin plugin installed and configured in QGIS, one click will synchronize your local project with newly collected field data. All of your created map themes, symbology and labels will go into the field with you. Take your QGIS projects out of your office and into the field!

  • Uhh okay

    App honestly works fine but for some reason and I have absolutely no idea why the app’s language was defaulting to Russian or languages other than English for me. Not exactly an issue for me but just took an extra minute to get into the app for a project. If anyone knows the fix for it, that would be appreciated.

  • Can’t down load App for iPhone

    Not a review but a request for help!!!! This app looks exactly what I need for work for plotting a variety of positions, however through the I store app or on line the app only sais “open”, I cannot find anyway to down load it. Am I missing something?? Thanks

  • Excellent if you’re a business

    I have QGIS at home and this is also a great way of taking a project with you on the road. But the data cap for free version can be constraining, especially if there are several layers in the project. Unfortunately, the current entry level monthly payment is unacceptably high for most of us. Create a $10/month plan with some restrictions (like how many projects you can have), then you would catch more of us GIS amateurs out there. Or maybe I’m not the target market, and that’s okay too.

    Hi adventure_tense, we now have plan for €11.90/month for individuals.
  • Five star

    Brilliant little app for field surveys. Obviously there’s always more things that could be added but it’s under active development so can’t wait to see what new features arrive. Thank you Lutra Consulting!
  • Great to pair with QGIS for Field Data Collection

    The combination of Input (data input app), Mergin (cloud storage) and QGIS (GIS data) is excellent for collecting our data in the field and working with the data in the office.

    With Input, I’m able to easily view, create, or update asset information while in the field, with or without cellular connectivity.

    This is a powerful combination that lets me get work done!

  • Love that it’s an iOS app for the QGIS env but lacking in photo support

    Like the title says. Technically the app supports photo collection, but whenever using cellular data it crashes the app every time and you lose 3-5 minutes of your life getting it running again.

    Could you file an issue here describing the steps to crash the app taking photos: https://github.com/lutraconsulting/input/issues Here is a quick demo to create a project and take photos: https://youtu.be/wYg8Sn8wy-I
  • Brilliant for soil sampling

    This app has made my job so much easier and quicker! We use input for logging soil sample locations and observations in field. It works and is brilliant. So simple to use and has revolutionised field work!
  • Does exactly what you expect

    I have been using Input for surveying trees for the last few months now and it really is a lifesaver. The UI is simple and easy to understand and the cloud service offered, Mergin, works really very well.
    Once you’ve set up a project inside QGIS and any forms you wish to be filled out you can just plot items to you hearts content. Very impressed. The only improvement I could see atm would be to include a zoom slider on screen so that you can zoom in and put using a stylus. Other than that A++ 👌🏻

  • Great app - but no zoom controls

    We have started to use this app for our surveying work on the UK uplands. The app is great - simple to use. The synchronisation with Mergin and QGIS projects has saved us a lot of time!

    One feature it is missing though is a dedicated zoom in and out control. It is possible to pinch to zoom, but we often need to wear gloves when surveying in the winter and having buttons for zoom controls would help massively. Also, the option to turn layer visibility on and off would be a useful addition.

    Hi, We have opened an issue for the zoom: https://github.com/lutraconsulting/input/issues/1003. Thanks for your feedback.
