That information can then be transferred to the GForms® Portal where it awaits review by pre-approved data managers. The portal functions like a data repository, storing any and all reports which have been uploaded to the system. From here, they can then be reviewed and queried from an easy to use interface. The GForms® Portal contains a number of useful tools to graphically display your reports by various factors, including: company, date, discharge group, discharge, valve section, inspector, and approver. The GForms® Portal is also the central location for the Approver Interface – the first stop for reports once they have been uploaded. All forms are stored here until they are approved and accepted as complete.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

GForms 5 holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Idira Mobile has 26 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of GForms 5's written reviews are positive against 6% of Idira Mobile's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

GForms 5 ships an update every 4 weeks, Idira Mobile every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
