About this app

SurveyCTO Collect for Android is a powerful tool for mobile data collection (a.k.a. Computer Assisted Personal Interviews, or CAPI) and telephone surveying (a.k.a. Computer Assisted Telephone Interviews, or CATI).

In mobile-data-collection applications, Collect allows you to collect data offline so that you can conduct household interviews, facility inspections, or any other kind of data collection even in remote, poorly-connected environments.

In telephone-survey applications, Collect can take over as your default phone app, deeply integrating call-management features with form-filling features, effectively turning any Android device into a mobile call center. Survey forms can launch and manage phone calls, you can receive calls within the app, and the entire user experience has been optimized for interviewing.

For multi-use devices, Collect makes it easy to switch between Collect and other phone apps, so that you're always using the right phone app for your needs. A setting allows you to use Collect as your default phone app either on-demand, whenever-running, or always.

Collect is a core part of the overall SurveyCTO product, which also includes web and desktop software components. After data has been collected with Collect, it is uploaded to the SurveyCTO server when an Internet connection is available or transferred to a supervisor's laptop over a local (offline) wi-fi connection.

SurveyCTO was initially built on the Open Data Kit (ODK) open-source platform, and has specialized in data quality, data security, and overall reliability. Learn more at https://www.surveycto.com or in the documentation at https://docs.surveycto.com.

The app is good, but every time I try to click on time, for instance, to enter start or end time, the app crashes. What could be the issue, given I have set my time right as 2400hrs?

Thank you for your kind feedback. We are aware of this problem and have already released a new version of the app in the beta channel. Please opt into the beta program and update your app to the latest version when you see an option. That should resolve your problem immediately.

New update version 2.70 "Added support for fully-embedded phone surveys. Added a quick setup feature." Plz roll out the update. Becoz this feature always takes user to the set up of "default dialing app" as and when initiate a phone survey. By clicking the SCTO dialer it shows the number in international format or sumething like that.

Yes, to take advantage of the new phone integration, you must temporarily switch the default phone app to SurveyCTO. If there is any problem please contact support at https://support.surveycto.com (or, if you are not the SurveyCTO subscriber, ask the subscriber to contact support).
