ArcGIS Collector Customer Insights

1. When you download maps it will throttle itself, no matter how fast your internet is it will not download fast, if the app experiences 1 millisecond of not being on internet it will cancel the download and you have to start from beginningUsed this for a class last fall, learned quickly and easy to use- absolutely no problems, loved it.

2. Attribute data was synced with ArcGIS Pro on a laptop but no attribute data of the same point is available on webmap.Complete garbage! Doesn't show all of the features on the online map.

3. Rebooted android device, restarted app, and now it sometimes recognizes location, but refuses to maintain the log in, and can no longer access feature layer.

4. (Water meter/irrigation backflow testing) My phone is a Galaxy Active S6 oh, so kind of old but it was still working fine before I had to start using this app.

5. Where's my map? Okay finally... wait "No maps"? I'm in the map right now, it all still exists online?! Probably have to delete the map and the layer and start all over again.

6. Unfortunately, my contracting company uses it, so I'm stuck with this mapping fiasco in which I copy the point coordinates and transfer them to Backcountry navigator EVERY.MORNING. It's a waste of time, this app.

7. It does glitch and crash more than any other app I've ever used - then again ESRI puts every bell and whistle in their products to create customizable experiences.

8. The webmap is fine since other areas download.

9. Cant put more than one point on my layer and a number of other issues.

10. When it does manage to connect to the unit (rarely), it take up to 10 seconds after moving for the location to update.

11. Fails to download offline maps.
