The Field Book App by PhenoApps is a mobile application for phenotypic data collection. This replaces the traditional way of collecting data, which is by using paper and pen and by encoding data collected in a computer thereafter. Field book was created to improve data collection by making the process efficient while minimizing errors caused by manual encoding.

Particularly, the Field Book App allows you to collect data and submit collected data using occurrence and trait files exported from an occurrence/s in the EBS.
