Fulcrum is an efficient and fully functional field-based data collection software, with GPS capability. I use it frequently for ecological data capture to pinpoint plants and plant communities, ecosystems, habitat features, and related information. It mostly satisfies my needs in these ways. It allows data dumps in multiple formats for use in outside mapping and interpretive software, for my own uses and for uses by clients who want Google Earth, ArcGIS, or other compatible formats.

The primary weakness is that paths and polygons cannot be captured. When paths are necessary, I have added a field for direction of travel, and the distance to the next point is assumed. In some cases, a distance is recorded in a Remarks field. This slows data capture, compared to ESRI products, but the difference in price makes up for this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Thanks for your review of the Fulcrum app! We are glad you're benefiting from our field data collection, GIS capabilities, and robust output options.
We appreciate the feedback on what you would like to see in Fulcrum. Path and polygon support is something that we do get asked about from time to time. I wanted to let you know it is on our radar however it is something that will take a lot of development time to accomplish. If you have not shared these thoughts already, please feel free to send your ideas to support@fulcrumapp.com. User feedback is a big driver for our product roadmap.
Thanks again for being a valued Fulcrum customer!
