Qrew LegendThe (free) Quickbase mobile app downloaded from the App Store or Google Play does know a GPS location and can populate an address field. I just did a test with my iPhone in Airplane mode and it worked. I'm actually not sure where it got the address from, but it hose the correct street and postal code and was only off by 1 house number - i live at #11 and it gave #9.
The mobile app can take data entry while off line, but not run reports or other queries on the Quickbase cloud, when off line. The data entry for adding records is stored locally on the device and when it's necessary the Internet will synchronize and upload the data.
Obviously this offline capability is only going to work in QuickBase with the mobile app and not when trying to access QuickBase on a mobile device because if you have no Internet connection then obviously webpages are not going to populate.
I'm sure there is a bunch of information somewhere on using the mobile app but in general yes it is possible to do data entry on the mobile app when off the Internet.

Hi Mark! So I just tested my iPhone in airplane mode, via the QB app, and the address fields were there for manual input, but there was no option to grab the location. Use case is for crews in sometimes VERY rural areas, we really need a lat/long pin drop.
