### 3/5 — Paid membership required

*2020-09-19, version 9.3.1*

The app is free, but it requires a monthly $12.50 per user login (minimum 10 users). Sure, there’s a 30 day free trial, but what help is that if I’m just looking for a solution for myself? 
It’s fine to charge for a service, we all need to make money, but be honest and say so in the description. The description says nothing about it.

### 3/5 — Great data collection

*2017-10-22, version 8.16.0*

This app would get 5 stars. Derated by one star for every hundred times I’m asked to rate the app. 

Amazing ability to collect data in the field. Decreased workload significantly for our business. 

Only downsides:
-Inability to use prior data to populate fields e.g. Create a monitoring point then reference that point. 
-Inability to view prior data through the app

### 4/5 — Construction Site

*2016-12-12, version 8.11.3*

Works well for site.

### 4/5 — Great

*2016-11-16, version 8.11.2*

Love this platform.... learning new skills everyday, with the help of the chats I have with the help reps.

### 4/5 — Quiet Good- Needs Edit etc

*2016-05-16, version 8.9.1*

This app has been an important part of our business! What we miss the most is: no "edit" option for each entry or tech support from the app. We would also love to have more capacity within the app, which tells us "max records reached" from time to time.  Otherwise - easy to navigate, great data storing and sharing app. Very useful in our daily operations.  Thank you.

### 5/5 — Happy customer

*2015-12-05, version 8.5.0*

Fantastic product and customer support! Perfect for field inspections of all kinds and a wonderful API to follow-up on inspection corrections needed.

### 5/5 — Love this platform!

*2015-12-04, version 8.5.0*

This platform is excellent. Love how simple or sophisticated the forms can be. Customer service is the best I've ever experienced; definitely a model I hope other companies will follow!

### 5/5 — Great platform!

*2015-11-06, version 8.2.0*

User friendly and economical platform for small to big businesses. Constantly improving functions and capabilities. Stable and secure interface!!!

### 4/5 — Easy and secure

*2015-07-28, version 8.1.0*

We like using iForm to collect survey data; it's quick and easy and the developers are accessible and offer good troubleshooting support

### 5/5 — Superb App

*2015-06-27, version 8.0.3*

Very good application with very good customization option..👍👍

### 5/5 — awesome app

*2015-06-11, version 7.7.0*

makes me look like a tech expert

### 3/5 — Useful tool, but clunky and cluttered

*2015-06-09, version 7.7.0*

It is a great tool for communication, but it could use some tweaking.  The photos ALWAYS shows on the report even if you have no photo for that slot.  Once you put a photo in a slot, you have to take a photo of blackness to replace it.  Even still, there is a photo of blackness on all reports following unless you change it to another photo.  

The same goes for info typed in.  Once you type something into a box and send in the form, that box shows in EVERY form after even when there is nothing in it.  It makes a cluttered form when you look back at your notes.  

Finally, for some reason, the iForms app is taking a TON memory space in my iPad.  I don't see why this should happen since I am sending in all my reports and not retaining a copy on my iPad.  I also regularly delete my pictures to create space but that doesn't affect the amount of space the iForms take.

It could use some changes.  Overall very useful.

### 5/5 — Esri integration as advertised

*2015-06-01, version 8.0.0*

Tried it out for the Esri integration features. App works exactly as promised and is more robust than any other free collection method I've looked into

### 1/5 — Nope

*2022-11-20, version 10.1*

After you install it. It just asks for email and username without any instructions

### 1/5 — Not working on iPhone

*2021-09-21, version 9.14*

This is not working on iPhone  many errors.

### 1/5 — Totally Worthless—-AVOID !

*2020-01-28, version 8.37.1*

First thing after download is you see screen to login—-no instructions on how to—no creat a account...you are EXPECTED to have a account with this company...then you go to customer service and sign in for an account...goes through certification and then back to login, and guess what ??  Account not valid !
DELETE—-WASTE OF TIME !

### 1/5 — Not free at all

*2017-11-20, version 8.18.2*

Misleading app as not free as stated. Looking for a simple app that doesn't need lots of bells and whistles so this just wastes my time.

### 1/5 — Not free at all!

*2017-11-09, version 8.17.0*

Why do these companies waste everyone's time? If it's not free, just say it! What's the point in making us download it and then asking us to do a free trial (which is just a trial) on your website! Result? There's no way I'll even try it although I might've done if you hadn't lied.

### 1/5 — Quality Systems Coordinator

*2017-01-25, version 8.11.5*

We have an IForms program on multiple IPads, and our program has eight separate modules.  Great program at first, but lately the totals are starting to FAR exceed the highest possible results of 100%.

### 1/5 — LAME

*2016-04-05, version 8.8.0*

AT&T forces us to use this app. PITA!

### 1/5 — EPIC FAIL

*2013-08-10, version 5.2.0.0*

When I first downloaded this app, there was NOTHING stating or advertising that it's a trial version and that the full version would be $499.

I HAVEN'T even gotten to use the app, so it's arrogant of them to ask me to upgrade. Especially when the forms don't download/upload properly. Eg. Questions with the answer to be Tyler into a text box - there's no text box or a section for an answer.

### 1/5 — Very poor

*2013-02-16, version 5.0.5.0*

Glad the company I work for pays for this rubbish & not me.
Every time informs is opened it shows low memory.
When I load more than 15 assets it slows down to the point of being useless.
Data is lost when it its uploaded to our office.
It is the cause of a great deal of frustration to my colleagues & I who work "out in the field" & we can't understand why our company uses this rubbish. 
I used a palm pilot with Fire Trax 10 years ago that worked better than this !

### 1/5 — Should be called "iForm Trial"

*2012-09-19, version 4.7.1.0*

If it's a trial (which it is), then it should be very clear in the icon, name or description. The product is a 30 day trial, which you can convert into a subscribed version for $600pa (very limited functionality) - $10,000pa (what you'd expect). A waste of time unless you're seriously looking to spend that amount, OR only want to use a form for a 30 day period with a max 10 records in your database...

### 5/5 — Best mobile data collection system

*2025-05-23, version 10.11.9*

Massively scalable and anything we can develop a data collection process for can be automated in this App. No or low code, easy to learn, and support is excellent. We have been using it since it started, about 14 years now, and to date have not seen anything that could replace it or compares.
Highly recommended for its flexibility, API, endpoints, web-hooks, hundred of apps easily integrate with it.

### 5/5 — Constantly Improving Performance

*2017-10-06, version 8.16.0*

It is pleasing to see an organisation so ready to improve, tweak and modify what is already a world-class mapping information service.

We have Norwegian, South African, Egyptian, as well as British staff who unanimously acknowledge that iForm is surely the market leader in designing electoral registration forms.

### 5/5 — Ops Manager

*2017-06-22, version 8.12.01*

Fantastic platform

### 5/5 — The perfect tool for our needs!

*2016-10-19, version 8.11.1*

We adopted iForm on a limited basis (so far) and it is incredible how quickly and easily we were able to boost our production rates while minimizing errors!  Our precious home-built tool had become unwieldy and too difficult to maintain accurately and iForm not only solved those issues for us but also allowed us to expand it's use into other areas of our program.

It's a wonderful tool and I look forward to even further expansion of its use!

### 5/5 — Awesome!!

*2016-10-19, version 8.11.1*

Awesome!!

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2016-10-18, version 8.11.1*

Easy to use and implement immediately.

### 5/5 — Great

*2016-02-21, version 8.6.1*

I only use half of its features and it is still amazing

### 5/5 — BSA I Forms

*2016-02-04, version 8.6.1*

As part of a business that has been operating I Forms for more than three years now I find the operating system to be fantastic!
I have found myself to be pushing it on my friends almost like a religious fanatic.
Awesome I Forms keep it up.

### 5/5 — Simply Astounding!

*2016-01-28, version 8.6.0*

Boom

### 5/5 — Ready to collet damage assess the data at moments notice

*2015-12-29, version 8.5.1*

I work for an iNGO and iForm is at the core of how we collet field reports and conduct assessments during crisis and humanitarian response. This is hands down the best MDC tool on the market and there's a great support team in the background when needed. The best part about iForm is it actually works with ease in remote disconnected areas of the world and the setup is fast. You won't find the accessibility or ease in any other mobile data collection platform out there today.
