I'm in search for a simple solution to collect data in the field. Simple things like crop planted, planting date, harvest date and GPS coordinate. I believe an #offline version of #googleforms would suffice. But google forms does not work offline.

Any suggestions for a simple app to #survey data in field? Some time ago I looked into #ODK-X (https://odk-x.org/) but I found it too complex

Anyone have experience w/ Open Data Kit + #RedCap? We use #ODK but considering a switch. Adopted ODK for support running same survey in multiple languages. Now REDCap has this. Wonder if REDCap would be easier for users to design + summarize complex surveys. Considering:

- Server maintenance effort
- Switching and retraining effort
- Offline tablet collection in field w GPS, audio/images
- Paper fall-back
- Security/privacy admin
- Full API control, good #RStats client for automated pipelines
