Best Offline Survey Apps in 2023

Have your employees ever needed to collect data in remote places without an internet connection? Do they have to deal with a constant flow of feedback from customers?

It’s tough to gather data and respond to customers using traditional paper forms. But thanks to the mobile apps listed below, your data-collection process will be smoother than ever before.

Whether you’re generating leads, getting customer feedback, or conducting an inspection in the field, mobile form apps will allow you to collect more accurate data and to do it whenever and wherever you want. In turn, this will lead to increased company productivity and better overall performance.

Here are the mobile form apps you should check out:

Jotform Mobile Forms

Jotform has taken a big step toward making data collection easier with its new mobile app, Jotform Mobile Forms. The app allows you to create, view, fill out, and share forms on your mobile device. Jotform Mobile Forms also comes with many advanced features, like geolocation, voice recording, photo capture, and e-signatures, all of which will help you collect more accurate and detailed information.

If you work with a team, Jotform Mobile Forms makes collaboration easy. You can assign forms to your team members and customize notifications.

Jotform’s mobile app also offers kiosk mode, which locks the screen of your device so that form respondents can’t access anything but your form. Kiosk mode also automatically refreshes the form after each response so that you can collect data in a continuous fashion.

The best thing about Jotform Mobile Forms, however, is that you can collect data even if you lose or can’t find an internet connection. The app’s offline mode allows you to view and organize your forms, and lets people fill them out. When you reconnect to the internet, your form submissions will automatically sync.

That’s not all. Jotform Mobile Forms is completely free of charge. You can download Jotform Mobile Forms to create surveys and collect data anytime for Android and iOS devices.

Brew Survey

When it comes to survey apps, Brew Survey offers most of the basic features, such as offline data collection, customizable design, conditional logic, and more. Brew Survey allows you to create smooth and easy-to-use surveys and collect unlimited form responses.

The app doesn’t allow you to create forms on your mobile device, but once you’ve created them on your browser, you can access and fill them out on the mobile app. Form responses sync manually from the app so that you can view them in your reports.

Brew Survey stands out among its competitors for its super cost-effective plan that includes access to full features for only $10 per month. Considering the cost of competitors with similar features, it’s a bargain for sure.
