ArcGIS Survey123 for Negative User Reviews

Clunky appThe app is useful in theory but there are a lot of issues that make it a UI nightmare that, judging by other reviews, have been around for a LONG time and haven’t been fixed. My main issue is attaching photos. I’m able to successfully attach a photo maybe 1 in every 20 attempts. The rest of the time I have to save them to my “files” and attach them that way. Very irritating. Next, text boxes are super invasive and there’s no easy way to get out of one. There should be a way to easily move on from a text box. Lastly, I hate that it continues to track my location when I’m not using it. That should stop because it kills my battery (important in the field!)..Version: 3.13.244

This app will not work for meI have downloaded this app onto my iPhone 8 Plus and it will not load/open. I deleted the app and downloaded it again and the same issue is present. I have excellent WiFi so that is not the issue. I have the latest update iPhones have released. I need to use this app to record a survey ASAP and it will not function properly for me to do so. Please help!.Version: 3.6.158

Version 3.0.132The latest update (July 5) apparently has a bug that prevents both sending and edits of previously sent survey forms if the survey has linked related tables. The app seems to send the parent table but gets hung up on the child table. Please fix this ESRI!.Version: 3.0.132

Doesn’t work at allOnly option is to sign in, the instructions on the fwc website explicitly states to not sign in. There is no other option to do anything but sign in..Version: 3.6.158

RooTerrible app.Version: 3.14.255

Continual crashesApp no longer loading correctly. Tried logging in 10 times with app crashing each time it tried to collect a survey to be completed. I have deleted and redownloaded the app twice but same glitch still happening. Unworkable at present. So I am unable to submit and work..Version: 3.12.277

NOI HATEGEOGRAPHY.Version: 3.14.255

Unable to create a new accountThere is no option to create a new account..Version: 3.12.277

Very ESRI likeUsing the Survey123 website gets very little done. To make even moderate level changes, you have to download this app. As a user/developer, this is very difficult to understand the rational of ESRI on this decision. They also seem to put uses last..Version: 3.18.142

Can’t create an accountVery poor setup. Doesn’t take you to a create account page. Only sign ins. When you attempt to sign in say through Google, you go through all the steps then get a message that states “denied access go to create account “. Which apparently doesn’t exist. Thanks FWC..Version: 3.5.177

This is supposed to open in th FWC app.This App is pure garbage I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Still doesn't work! Hopefully by next year they can get an app that works!.Version: 3.6.155

Apple Track PadEverything works well with the iPad and my iPhone the only complain I have and hope it gets addressed down the road is, having the Survey123 iPad app compatible with the magic keyboard Track Pad. It would make the experience a lot more smoother and more convenient for people that use iPad to complete their surveys. Just this alone would definitely bring the app up to 5 starts in my book. Thank you.Version: 3.14.262

DrewI just trying to figure out how to comply with the FWC regarding the new requirement to report a deer harvest. I don’t know how they could have made it any more complicated. FWC says you don’t need to log in. It will open automatically. The app However requires a login. There is no place that I can see to create an account. I can’t be the only hunter that is pulling my hair out..Version: 3.6.153

Issues with attaching photosI have tried configuring the form multiple ways including just using the image sample and I can not get photos I have take to attach to the form. I can add files or take new photos but it doesn’t like browse and add the photos I have already taken. This is a big problem..Version: 3.11.164

DUO 2FA not workingHey, I’m trying to log in under an organization but the embedded website doesn’t show the options for Duo Mobile properly so I cannot use the app :(.Version: 3.13.246

Arcgis AccountStupid beyond stupid. You need an account to sign in. You can get an account by signing in. No reasonable way to report a deer kill now. Stupid beyond stupid..Version: 3.6.157

Most Recent UpdateBroke the “paste answers from favorite” feature.Version: 3.14.237

AppTerrible !!!.Version: 3.16.114

Does not work, FL FWC reportingThe FWC reporting form will not integrate with the app. It works fine on my husband’s android. I use IOS..Version: 3.6.157

Clunky and InvasiveEverything about this app is clunky. From login to data entry to submission it’s like it was built by someone who never used it to do anything. It’s also invasive. It wants data from multiple accounts and is not clear about where the data goes. This is a real shame because agencies and institutions that use ESRI products push this survey app to field workers and citizen science projects and the difficulty in use is detrimental to the success and accuracy of those endeavors..Version: 3.9.149

Not goodTeacher made me download stepping him out now trash app 😔😔.Version: 3.12.277

Poor! Does not do as advertised!Poor app needs a lot of work! Can not even see my survey that I created. Can not attach photos as advertised..Version: 1.6.11

I’m not in AfricaGeopoint often glitches and displays location in africa/Atlantic ocean when I am in west London..Version: 3.14.255

Bug in Feb 24 2021 update!We have fields calculating numbers from an external csv. This newest updates no longer functions properly. I cannot tell if it is a calculation issue or the external csv issue, but it works fine on the previous version.Version: 3.12.274

Works pretty wellIf I use the “Rating” option in the design of the form, my survey shows them as radio buttons with the Star image half way over it. That option is unusable with that bug..Version: 3.9.148

Greg HeffleyDecent app.Version: 3.14.237

Update ruined surveysThe latest update absolutely broke our surveys, just days before we were going to bring it into the field. Updated on both iPhone and iPad, and both stopped working immediately. This is a really poor showing from ESRI, as you would expect that they would test their updates before implementing to make sure they work on the THING THAT THE APP IS SUPPOSED TO DO..Version: 3.5.164

Doesn’t workDislike. Going with call in deer reporting.Version: 3.6.158

Herp observer 2.0App used to work great, now it won’t allow me to send in any reports. I have multiple sitting in the outbox but they won’t send no matter what. I even tried creating a free ArcGIS acct on the web but when I went to sign in the app it said access denied..Version: 3.17.66

Bug Fixes Please- if i refresh my survey page, go into a survey, and exit back into the list, any movement on my touchscreen prompts the list to refresh over and over again. i have to force-close the app and reboot everything again for it to mostly return to the same bug. please fix this for more stars. - please hire UI designers who understand touch screen apps better. this app is clunky and frustrating to deal with due to unclear navigation around the app and large lag times following simple procedures (ie: exiting a survey).Version: 3.0.149

??The app does not work. Can not login, can not retrieve user ID, can not reset password!!!! Does NOT send any email to the email you use to set up. This is a joke! No stars for this crap of an app!!! Hopefully this will get somebodies attention!!! Then again,,,, maybe not.. crickets!!!!!!!!.Version: 3.5.177

ShazL was disappointedShazL didn’t like the app.Version: 3.18.142

No likeyMe no gusta.Version: 3.18.142

Can’t use the appVersion 3.6 has many bugs, making it not useful. I have seen some of the functionality brought out with this version, and its great. Unfortunately I can’t use the app anymore. I can’t even revert back to an older version..Version: 3.6.153

JunkJunk app for a civil servant must-make prior to work engagement or else!.Version: 3.11.164

BadNot good.Version: 3.15.159

UI ExpectationsInput fields - the login screen in particular - do not support the OS native paste/selection paradigms. Very frustrating to log in to a portal when using strong passwords in a password manager..Version: 1.2.89

Good app, but too many glitchesThis app is a great idea and can be SO helpful in the field, but there’s so many glitches you can’t rely on it..Version: 3.12.277

Latest update errorPlease make another update to Survey123 iOS app. This is a needed tool for operational use and field collection. Latest update to app does not work. I just had someone update their app but the new version will not open. It immediately crashes when it is opened. No functions can be performed. Can not use latest iOS until vetted agains other apps..Version: 3.6.157

Tas Road Kill AppWould be helpful to have a note section to add further details..Version: 3.16.114

Will not open after updateAfter update App will not open.Version: 3.11.164

Not Working with I-phoneThis app is not working. When refresh was selected it shutdown and all data was lost..Version: 3.11.164

TRASH APpTHIS APP GETS WORSE WITH EACH UPDATE FIX THIS CRAP.Version: 3.10.323

Cannot access enterprise accountAfter installation I tried to login to our enterprise AGO account. Nothing happens after entering the credentials. I have high hopes for the app. However at this point it is completely useless..Version: 1.6.11

Editing sent surveysSent surveys can still not be edited. The latest update was supposed to fix this, but that isn’t the case..Version: 3.14.262

VirusThis bad app give me virusdont recpmend.Version: 3.13.246

Does not honor federated credentialsEsri needs to add federated sign in.Version: 1.0.144

Not user friendlySubmit checkbox is often occluded by keyboard making survey submittal glitchy. Earlier versions had an option to edit sent survey data. The current version only allows you to view or copy sent data. The default sorting order for sent surveys is oldest to newest- the logical default would be to show the most recent surveys first..Version: 3.18.145

Riddled with bugsIt’s better than paper, but they really need to hire a few more developers because this app doesn’t work very well. My hypothesis is that ESRI has a monopoly and doesn’t have to care about quality as much as they should..Version: 3.12.277

Was Working, Now it is NotThe app used to work great. But now when I go to submit the photo report, all I get is an unknown Send error. Has anyone received something similar or know of a work around?.Version: 3.18.145

Not compatible with macOSI am trying to utilize Survey123 on my laptop and the app does not work on my computer. My coworkers use Windows computers and are able to use the field app on their laptops. Please update the field app so I can use it on my laptop. I need to use this app on a daily basis and it is extremely frustrating to transfer data from my laptop to my phone to do my job..Version: 3.18.145

App tracks location when not using appI set the app to use location services “while using the app”, yet when I’m not using the app it is still using my location. I have to go to settings and turn the location service to never to prevent the app from tracking my location when I’m not using this app. This bug needs to be fixed. Once I have completed my survey in two days I will be deleting this app and never using it again.Version: 3.13.229

Map no longer works!Now the geopoint only works for GPS, the map doesn’t show up! Without map, Survey123 lost its value! When I go to the settings>map, and select “view map library “, it shows “no compatible map found “ Please fix this issue ASAP!.Version: 3.7.57

Can’t complete surveys via desktop?I volunteer for an organization, and use this app to conduct field surveys for them. Is there a way to complete/add my notes to a draft survey via desktop? It seems not? I just detest typing that much on my phone. (Obviously I take photos and pin location while in the field.) It doesn’t let me sign in with a public ArcGIS account..Version: 3.9.149

EddieEddie doesn’t like it styll.Version: 3.18.145

HorribleWon’t load and requires and account but FWC instructions specifically say in bold to not sign up for an account. Horrible..Version: 3.6.158

Buggy appApp will randomly crash. Sometimes work is saved, sometimes work is t saved. The last crash, I got logged out and now the won’t recognize my user name and password word. I am two hours from my office, hope I can recover my work, for I will have lost at least a day, that is if I can get back into my account t. If I can not, I will have lost three weeks of work..Version: 3.12.277
