Excellent Asset Tracking

This application has helped me understand how to build an updatable tracking database for field asset management. The easy, intuitive demos and QField Community Forum have guided me from making a base level project to creating a system for a small company asset management template. Thank you to all the developers and users willing to share their tools and knowledge. Additionally, it’s fun to use for personal use and educational purposes.

Great app…once you know what your doing

Took a hot minute to figure it out but there is a lot of online support from tons of people for this. It’s a great community and I really appreciate everyone’s contribution.

Close But Unstable In My Case

So much more featured than SW Maps and better laid out. I’m really thrilled to see Bluetooth support and NTRIP, but unfortunately the app (v 4.2.4) has been very unstable for me (random crashes, sometimes within no more that 20s of getting RTK Fixed), to the point that I found it unusable in the field. Fingers crossed they can get these stability issues fixed soon, because it is much nicer than SW Maps. I hope my telemetry helps.

Gets better every release

QField continues to get great development and does a great job in moving QGIS projects to mobile (especially with FieldCloud). Now running it with over 40 mobile users on private missing persons searches. Keep up the great work.

Muchas limitaciones

Hay cosas simples que no funcionan como cálculos sencillos en campos. Hay cosas que se construyen en QGIS que luego cuando se pasan a Qfield no funcionan. No hay opción de descarga de tablas
