Collect Mobile is an Android app developed by Open Foris Initiative that serves as a fast, intuitive, and flexible data collection tool for field-based surveys. It allows users to complete complex data structures, including biophysical, socio-economic, and biodiversity surveys.

One of the standout features of Collect Mobile is its on-the-fly validation, which helps improve data quality by ensuring that the collected data meets specified criteria. Additionally, the app handles large lists of species or other attributes efficiently, making it suitable for a wide range of survey types.

The app also offers geo-location functionality through embedded GPS, enabling users to accurately capture location data in the field. Furthermore, Collect Mobile seamlessly integrates with Collect, another tool offered by Open Foris, for data management, analysis, and export to commonly used formats.

Another noteworthy feature of Collect Mobile is its ability to process inputs and calculate attributes for quality control purposes directly in the field. This functionality allows users to identify and address any issues or errors during data collection, saving time and effort in later stages of data analysis.

Collect Mobile is part of the Open Foris tools suite, which aims to support the design and management of field-based inventories. To set up a survey, users can download and install Open Foris Collect, create their survey, and export it for use in Collect Mobile. Once data has been collected, it can be imported into Collect for data cleansing and further analysis.
