Android field collection

Field data collection
that keeps moving.

The Survanta mobile app lets a field collector work through their surveys on an Android device, including places with no usable network. Surveys are downloaded to the device, answered locally, and submitted when a connection is available.

Built for fieldwork

Everything a collector needs on the device, and nothing that depends on a live connection to keep working.

Work offline

Available surveys are downloaded to the device, so collection continues in places with no usable network.

Save and resume

Answers are kept locally as a draft. A collector can close a survey and continue from where they stopped.

Structured repetition

Repeated groups capture the same set of questions once per subject, without duplicating the survey.

Dynamic tables

Row-based answers are entered in a table, column by column, with the same validation as any other question.

Validation and conditions

Required answers and conditional questions are applied on the device, so a response is checked before it is submitted.

Sync when connectivity returns

Responses sync once a connection is available. Queued files are listed for the collector to confirm before they continue.

How offline survey data collection works · Conditional survey logic

Field missions, not just surveys

Assign operational work from the Dashboard. It is carried out, and completed, on the device.

Basic field mission detail screen on Android, showing an assigned task with a description and a start button, and no schedule or location requirements.

Basic: an assigned mission with a title, a description and a start button.

Advanced field mission detail screen on Android, showing a scheduled mission with a map location, an allowed radius and GPS capture requirements.

Advanced: adds a schedule, a map location, a radius check and GPS capture at completion.

  • Basic missions work on every plan: assign, start, complete.
  • Advanced missions add scheduling, a map location, radius enforcement and GPS capture at completion. It is an add-on capability, not a separate task allowance.
  • Switching Advanced off later keeps basic missions working; anything already configured stays visible and enforced.

Your organization, on every device

Approved organization identity and contact details reach every field user the same way, in Arabic and English, and stay available from the device under the app's offline rules.

1. Configure

The approved mobile configuration panel in the Survanta dashboard, showing the organization's uploaded logo, its primary colour and its approved phone, email, website and address

Admins configure the organization logo, identity and contact details.

2. On the device

The mobile app opened on that organization's survey, showing the same uploaded logo and the same organization name

The approved organization identity appears the same way in the mobile app.

3. Get in touch

Mobile organization page listing address, phone, email, website and social links with open actions

The app exposes the approved organization details and the contact methods configured for it.

  • Upload a logo, choose a primary colour and add contact details
  • Changes pass platform review before they reach the app
  • The same identity applies in Arabic and English, and is cached for offline use

How a collection round works

The same five steps whether the device is online the whole time or not.

1

Open the assigned survey

A collector signs in and sees the surveys available to them.

2

Collect in the field

Questions are answered on the device, with validation applied as the response is filled in.

3

Continue offline when needed

Without a usable network the response is saved on the device as a draft instead of being lost.

4

Sync when a connection returns

Responses are submitted once connectivity is available. Queued files wait for the collector to confirm them.

5

Review and analyse on the web platform

Submitted responses are reviewed, exported and analysed in the Survanta web dashboard, not on the device.

Stay connected with your field teams

When push notifications are configured, Survanta delivers targeted messages straight to the Android app — and keeps a copy in the in-app inbox so nothing is missed.

Compose once, and choose exactly who receives it

  • Platform administrators can send to the eligible mobile users of a chosen organization
  • Organization administrators can send to eligible users inside their own organization
  • People without a registered device are skipped, and the send history records each recipient's outcome

iOS

iOS is not available yet

The iOS build is not published. Android is the supported platform for field collection today.

Survanta Mobile keeps evolving

What the app can already do for field teams and their supervisors, and what we are building next. Every capability below states where it stands today.

Live team chat

Secure, direct conversations between field teams and their supervisors, without leaving the app.

Planned

Response review and comments

A supervisor reviews a submitted response and sends notes straight back to the field worker to correct.

Planned

Team announcements

Important instructions and alerts reach every member of the team at once, and stay readable afterwards.

Planned

AI field assistant

An assistant that understands your organization's own instructions and helps the user while they work.

Planned

Capabilities marked Coming later are not available today. Roadmap items may change, be reordered, or evolve before release, and nothing here is a commitment to a delivery date.
