This page summarizes the main changes to Tella for Android |
GENERAL:
- The audio recording screen never sleeps
- Refreshed camera design
- Removed homescreen camera preview
DATA COLLECTION:
- More transparency and control on file submission: progress bar for file uploads, and decide which file to send immediately and which to save for later sending
- New form interface to attach files faster
- Users who don't use the Collect feature can disable it to hide the homescreen button
- A new offline mode allows users to collect data without having to worry about internet connectivity. All forms are saved for later submission.
- More transparency on the submission of forms: users can send attachments separately from the form, and decide which attachment to send. This is particularly useful when internet connectivity is spotty.
- New user interface for the app's settings, for clearer navigation.
- Given Google's new privacy policy preventing the sending of SMS, the Panic Button was changed to a Quick Exit button, which wipes data and deletes the app.
- Bug fixes and improvements.
- Bug fixes and improvements
- Form admins can make it so that attaching a photo or video to a form also automatically attaches the file's geolocation metadata to the form. This means admins can see on the map where all the verified photos and videos were taken.
- New drop-down appearance for multiple choice questions. This greatly improves the user experience when several questions are on the same screen.
- Bug fixes and improvements
- Tella now captures the metadata for photos and videos taken in Tella (in previous versions, it was only for photos and videos taken on the device's default camera app)
- New camouflage options: calculator and weather app appearances
- Bug fixes
