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!

New Update. Assisi Cruiser is now being built in Xamarin. I hit too many roadblocks with PowerApps. Perhaps in the future PowerApps will be offline and programmable, but not now. So I switched to Xamarin and haven't looked back.The prototype is working great. It stores data in a mobile database which you email to the office with a couple clicks. At the office, you import from the database just as you do with all the other formats Assisi imports.The mobile app is robust, reliable and I will be able to expand without limits in the future to add in field compiling and more. I am expecting a release 1Q 2018 with a beta before that.Right now I am building an Export from Assisi Forest that fills Assisi Cruiser Cruise Designs, Calibrations, Markets and everything else one needs in the field. Selected Field Data is also exported.The plan is be able to fully design a cruise project in Assisi with plot locations, species settings survey design, then export to Assisi Cruiser and off you go!Rich
