QField for QGIS

OPENGIS.ch

About this app

QField focuses on efficiently getting GIS fieldwork done and exchanging data between the field and the office in a comfortable and user-friendly way.

QField has won the prestigious Best of Swiss Apps Award 2022 in the enterprise category.

Built on top of the popular QGIS open-source project, QField lets users consume fully configured projects in the field, allowing for customized feature forms, map themes, print layouts, and more, bringing the power of QGIS to your fingertips.

Leveraging open source libraries such as gdal, SQLite and PostGIS, QField reads, displays and allows editing of a wide variety of spatial vector and raster datasets. Users can view and modify datasets wherever they are, whether they have been downloaded onto your device, shared in emails or transferred via USB cable.

The supported formats include:
- QGIS project files (.qgs, .qgz, as well as geopackage-embedded projects);
- SQLite-based geopackage and spatialite databases;
- GeoJSON, KML, GPX, and shapefile vector datasets;
- GeoTIFF, Geospatial PDFs, WEBP, and JPEG2000 raster datasets.

Ratings and reviews

This app is amazing, takes a second to fiddle around and figure out the controls, but it's extremely simple and easy to use once you figure it out 100%. I use this app 5 days a week for a local government job, and I really appreciate the simplicity of use. I like that it allows for local saving on the device (most others use exclusively cloud, which is data heavy, and not necessarily as reliable as hardware based data. After trying others, will continue with QField. Thank you, devs.

great but need to be able to access cloud storage as files are easier to get then. i had to plug my phone into the laptop and move the file to my download folder as i could not get to it otherwise. not with google drive nor with my downloads folder. Update after qfield.cloud was integrated: Fantastic app. You definitely need to know QGIS and it can take a while to set up data input fields but once it is done (correctly), works very well. Thank you for the best free app like this out there.

Amazingly versatile and works seamlessly with QGIS desktop once you know the procedures. It has been great watching the continuous development of this app into a full-fledged field support with so much versatility. Love how the devs have made all the usefulness of maps and data available while curating an equally complex and approachable UI for phones.
