Wanted to give a quick update on Assisi Cruiser, our upcoming data collector.
Our prototype in PowerApps is working OK, but PowerApps has too many restrictions like meant to be online and can only share apps with members of the same computer domain. So now I am also prototyping in Xamarin: the cross platform (iOS, Android & Windows) tool of choice for most serious developers. It's going well and I should have something for others to test soon.
Send me a note if you are interested in beta testing!

Just released version 2018.1.7 of both Assisi Forest and Assisi Cruiser.
Changes:
Rest of Assisi Plot and Tree Fields. There were many other plot and tree level fields in Assisi that needed adding. I still need to add lists for many fields, but the fields are there now.
Single Plot and Single Tree Edit Forms. You can now edit a single plot or tree in addition to editing them in a grid. Right swipe a plot or tree to go to the edit forms. Left swipe deletes. I’m working with the control vender to make the grids better at swiping. Their grids want to horizontal scroll rather than swipe. I’d like to see horizontal scrolling in the headers.
Export Lists for Cruise Designs, Calibrations and Markets. There is now a settings area on the Export Tool where you list the Cruise Designs, Calibrations and Markets you want exported. Whatever is in these lists, plus whatever is found for any exported field data, will be exported to Assisi Cruiser.
Changes to Layout and Edit Fixes. There were a bunch of edit issues with the last install. I should have fixed most or all of these now.
A note about the export list settings. I have wanted for a while to use a regular formatted document for making settings. One where you can format settings, describe them and otherwise just edit the doc as you want. Similar to how Note fields are now in Assisi: plain word documents. The export lists are using this new approach. Below is an export from the Sample Database. You can edit however you want. 3 bookmarks are used to mark where exactly the lists are to export. Pretty neat huh!
