**1. What is the problem? Be very detailed.** I am new to GeoDOK. We want to use the App to collect information through a citizen science program. Firstly I get a message "This app was built for an older version ofAndroid and may not work properly. Try checking for updates or contact the developer.". I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app and still get the same message. Then when I want to change the Platform in the General Settings - if I choose Google Drive, Google Maps Engine - the App bombs out. **2. What app or server are you using and on what device and operating system? Include version numbers.** I do not really understand how to connect to a "server" that is why I want to choose "Google Drive" option to see how the info and where the info I collect is stored. I am using the GeoODK Collect App. If I go to Form Management, I get the message attached as "ODKCollect\_issue2) **3. What you have you tried to fix the problem?** Uninstalling the app. Downloading the app again and installing. **4. What steps can we take to reproduce the problem?** **5. Anything else we should know or have? If you have a test form or screenshots or logs, attach below.** Is there anyone that could give us a demonstration on how to start off with the GeoODK App for our program? E.g. Step 1, Step 2 etc. We have a GIS unit that will assist us, but none of us know how to start using the App as we do not get further - the app bombs out. I will really appreciate assistance because I believe this App can assist us greatly with community members collecting information for us. Kind regards Marle ![ODKCollect_issue2](https://getodk.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/2X/e/eec211a76bfbc88bae9f5a4bf823a88d0cb1bfdd.jpeg) ---

Welcome to the ODK community @Marle_CT ! Please when you get a chance take some time to introduce yourself here : [Introduce yourself here!](https://forum.getodk.org/t/introduce-yourself-here/6671) GeoODK is no longer maintained and is not part of ODK tools. You need to use ODKCollect instead (even for geo datas), from the playstore or from the github repo. ---

Mathieu is exactly correct. GeoODK has never been a core ODK tool and has not received an update since 2017. Most of the functionality that was in GeoODK is now available in ODK Collect.
