Does it work on iPhone?

Yes, PropelMapper has an iPhone field app for voice, photos, readings, offline capture and report review.

Tap record at the field and talk. While the recording runs you can take photos, draw on them, shoot clips of up to 30 seconds, type a note, log a reading and drop pins. Each capture is stamped with the time and your GPS point. You can also draw a field boundary on the map, or walk its edge.

The app keeps working in a dead zone. Captures save on the phone and upload by themselves when you have coverage again. Once they are up, PropelMapper drafts the report, and you can read it, edit it and sign it on the iPhone.

The phone and the browser share one account. Sign in with the same email and you see the same visits, places and reports in both. The app is available in English and Spanish.

For a team using both platforms, the Android app is available on Google Play. Tasks and contacts are on the phone too, so a follow-up can be assigned before you leave the yard.

Get the phone ready for a field visit

Pick the place before you start recording, so every capture lands on the right field. The capture tools cover voice, photo markup, typed notes, readings, mileage and pre-visit checklists. A reading keeps its unit, and a photo keeps its context when you say what it shows.

If the visit is outside coverage, download offline maps while you still have signal. Back in coverage, the captures upload by themselves, and the visit marks each one as synced.

From draft to sent report

Transcription, drafting and sending need a connection. Once the captures are up, compare the names, measurements and units in the draft with the recordings and photos, add your recommendation and sign, with a drawn or typed signature, the same as in the browser. The client can confirm receipt after you send.

Download PropelMapper from the App Store using the badge above and sign in with the email you use in the browser. Colleagues on Android install the field app from Google Play. Open the first report you send on another device, so you see the PDF and Word attachments your clients receive.
