ODK Collect app can be accessed on Android smartphones. Through this app, field surveyors can directly input data on an online form. Data input can also be submitted as a photograph or GPS location. Saved data will be sent to a cloud storing system when the surveyor reaches a location with a more stable internet connection. Data processing is also more guaranteed because it can be verified from a long distance to ensure the quality and accuracy of the data input.
