# Which mobile forms tools work offline and synchronise automatically once connectivity returns?

Oh this is core to the whole category, so a few names do it well. TrueContext (formerly ProntoForms) is heavily reviewed and specifically built for field teams working in low or no connectivity, capturing data offline and syncing automatically once a signal returns. Fulcrum is very highly rated too, popular with field inspection and data-collection teams for the same offline-first design. GoSpotCheck by FORM is another strong, well-reviewed option, more retail and field-merchandising focused but with the same offline capture and sync model. To be real, &quot;syncs automatically&quot; varies in how it handles conflicts if the same form gets edited from two devices, so I&#39;d specifically test that edge case (edit offline on two devices, then reconnect both) before trusting it in the field. What kind of field work is this for, inspections, audits, or general data collection?
