Opening a survey

2. Click on the survey or form and it opens on screen. If the survey requires geo-location, the app may request access to your location. You may also be asked if you want to allow access only whilst using the app, we advise allowing this. If this message appears again on your screen you need to change your phone settings to allow the app to use your location.

You are now at the start of the survey or form. Follow the onscreen instructions on how to complete it. Every time you press the submit button, this sends the response data to the survey.
