App summary

KoboCollect is the free Android data entry app for use with KoboToolbox. It is based on the open source ODK Collect app and is used for primary data collection in humanitarian emergencies and other challenging field environments. With this app you enter data from interviews or other primary data -- online or offline. There are no limits on the number of forms, questions, or submissions (including photos and other media) that can be saved on your device.

This app requires a free KoboToolbox account: Before you can collect data create a free account with your computer on www.kobotoolbox.org and create a blank form for data entry. Once your form is created and active, configure this app to point to your account, following the instructions in our tool.

To visualize, analyze, share, and download your collected data just go back to your KoboToolbox account online. Advanced users can also install their own KoboToolbox instance on a local computer or server.

KoboToolbox consists of several software tools to help you with your digital data collection. Together, these tools are used by thousands of humanitarians, development professionals, researchers, and private companies to design and implement primary data collection projects around the world. KoboCollect is based on ODK Collect, and is used by professionals wherever reliable and professional field data collection is needed.

Please bring back the rename option at the last part as it is easier for us to find/check and edit the forms we previously filled out... in our work, we fill out the same form for like 5-10 times depending on the numbers of stations/barangay we are validating. So I personally utilize the rename option so it is easier for me to find the form and edit it if i missed something or I want to add any remarks. pls... pls..pls.. add it again on your next update.

In the previous version, we can rename everybody's data by his/her name, but in the new version, we can't do so. Please enable the option for renaming. Thanks

Please, bring back the feature where one can rename the name of a file. All my files are having the same name and i am so confuse. The whole thing is hectic on identifying the file i want to work on. Please, bring back that feature!!!
