I wanted to let everyone know that I've just released a first version port  
of ODK Collect for iOS called Data Keep that's now on the app store:

[https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/data-keep/id824361700?ls=1&mt=8](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/data-keep/id824361700?ls=1&mt=8)

I haven't built out all the features yet, so things like repeats, certain  
functions for relevances, and a couple more things aren't fully developed  
but I'll be working to get that in when I can.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Hi Sean,

Congrats on the launch and thanks for the contribution to the ODK  
community! Is the source going to be open source? I know folks will  
want to help with this effort.

Thanks,

Yaw

Hey Sean. Does this work with a standard install of OpenDataKit? Normally open data kit install on a tomcat server on port 8080, however your application doesn't seem to like anything that has a port or perhaps a colon in it for the server URL. Or perhaps I am not making my entry right. If I installed my own OpenDataKit server on port 8080 and the URL is normally:

[http://odk:8080/ODKAggregate/Aggregate.html#management/forms///](http://odk:8080/ODKAggregate/Aggregate.html#management/forms///)

When the page comes up, how do I reference this in your app?

Thanks.

Steve

Thanks, GREATLY NEEDED.  
I have a lot of guys without Android devices that still want to use our forms.

I wish I saw this post before I started playing around with it back in March. I have very complicated form with a loop and several relevant criteria.  
As of May, the ap cuts out and I have to re fill out my server information.  
I'll KEEP rechecking (pardon the pun).

Any updates on this news? I am waiting to find information that forms can be implemented across platforms, otherwise I can't use it if half of my crowdsource can't use it (per iOS).  
Thanks!

Enketo allows you to submit from a PC.  
[Ona.io](http://Ona.io) includes Enketo support, and is free up to 500 submissions per  
month, so it depends on how many submissions you're expecting.

Hi Pablo, Richard,

For a free option consider KoBoToolbox [http://www.kobotoolbox.org](http://www.kobotoolbox.org),  
which includes Enketo in the formbuilder for previews and for data  
collection (but also fully compatible with ODK and XLS Forms). The new  
version of Enketo Express was created in collaboration with KoBo in part to  
improve full iOS support for offline data collection. Enketo works in any  
browser, iOS included (version 9.3.2 & Safari are required for offline  
collection).

Cheers,  
Tino
