Field Notes for Android
This app is a god-send when you have hundreds of issues that you require documentation for. Highly recommend!
The app is unusable unless you are already have other newforma products.
Totally unusable. Cannot create a project without signing into a company who is hosting projects. Where do you sign up to info exchange or cloud service? Should be able to use the app straight away without this difficulty. Uninstalled
I am a TV/documentary producer and need to do notes on the fly. There is a three step log in process. After that you have to link a cloud to the account and than you have to put all this project information. This is the worst note taking app ever! Seriously. Keep it simple. Make it so people can just open the app, start taking notes and move on. Very frustrating.
Just not usable. Have to have wifi in "the field" are you kidding me?

This a great app, and it picked up my projects with no problem. For me to do picture notes, I have to upload it. The camera and video icon doesn't work at all. I wonder if there's a reason it doesn't work for HTC ONE
It took me awhile but finally got it figured out. A few things I hope will be in development...Pull down menus similar to punch list. When doing a massive walkthrough, it would save time. Space sorting Feature - we have a multiphase project where room names and numbers stay the same across the phases...when I'm selecting a space I'll have 4 of the same room and name numbers and have no clue which one comes from which phase. I can transfer out the phase from Revit, but the Field notes doesn't recognize it. Also is there a recommended PDF viewer that easily works with this? it would be great to have access to a plan that would then be able to get marked up and associated with this. You can share from another app, but if the plan was part of this even better. A great start for the app which works well and syncs well...just looking for more features
The app picked up my projects just great, but the phone & video notes don't work unless I upload an existing picture. The camera & video icons do nothing on my phone.
How do you create like an organisation or whatever?! It wont let me even do anything without that, so fix it thanks
Works Great

What you WANT this app to do is take photos from site, append with numbered comments/action items and automatically build these items into a field review report based on a pre-defined report template. What it ACTUALLY does is take disparate pictures and notes that you then have to return to the office to use by manually assembling a report on a desktop, line-by-line, with a cumbersome and slow interface. Very disappointing functionality, and our clients have expressed discontent with how the reports look once it's all said and done. We've gone back to standard field review reports. Don't bother until they do a complete overhaul of this field reporting system (this app and in Newforma Project Center). Also note that app hasn't been updated since 2014, so it's basically been abandoned.
