No edit

System was running fine for me for sometime. But until recently i am unable to edit. Edit disappeared from the platform. iPhone/ samsung galaxy tab

App crashes

I rely on this app for work and it crashes so often. It also has trouble loading when signal isn’t ideal. I’m an ecologist, so signal usually isn’t ideal. I love that I can set up symbology and fields for recording data ahead of time, making it seamless to transfer data into ArcGIS. But that’s all useless if the app won’t load or crashes in the field.

Frustrating

Field Maps continuously crashes on me while trying to input data. Doesn’t matter if I reset the app, restart my phone, or check for updates. Extremely frustrating. Fix the app, Esri!!

The best free ArcGIS app for mobile, which is rather depressing

Works well enough I suppose, and I still use it for quick references on the go.

Great app

Generally a good app for the work I do. Would love if yall could somehow make fieldmaps compatible with Apple CarPlay.
