Wildnote is Great for Environmental and Cultural Resource Data Collection

Overall, my experience with Wildnote has been exceptional. The software was easy to figure out, and if I did have questions, Wildnote staff were readily available to troubleshoot. I highly recommend this software to anyone that is transitioning to a tablet-based recording system from paper forms.

PROS

Wildnote's forms are easy to set up and completely customizable for any project. I transferred our Environmental and Cultural Resources paper recording forms to Wildnote, which cut down our paper waste and stored all information for our projects in one, online location. I enjoy the Cloud-based data management as well as the compatibility with different tablets and even smart phones. This makes the software and data easily accessible while traveling for projects.

CONS

I would love to see some more compatibility and synchronization with ArcCollector and other geospatial recording software.

Vendor Response

We appreciate the feedback, Chris, and are delighted that you have received value from Wildnote! As our company has grown, we have been adding geospatial integrations. On our Pro+ package, users have 15 types of exports to choose from, including the geodatabase and geojson file types for easy integration into any ESRI product. We also now directly integrate with the EOS Arrow GNSS Bluetooth receivers so that you can automatically capture highly accurate points right into Wildnote. Additionally, it is on our product roadmap to allow users to load a base map of their choice into the mobile app. We hope these improvements allow our users to have the best of both worlds for forms based data collection and mapping.

Solid wetland form for the field, plus more

Using Wildnote has been a good experience so far. Younger staff embraced it. Older staff have preferred to stick to their old ways, but do like the clean forms Wildnote prints out. We find that having Wildnote helps new wetland scientists learn the delineation procedure without forgetting the steps, and ensures that our delineation forms are complete. It also saves us time back in the office, not having to transcribe our field notes to digital forms.

PROS

Wildnote is fairly easy to set up, and is incredibly helpful in the field when doing wetland delineations, especially for people new to wetland work. Having a full list of plant names is invaluable as well. We save so much time on form finalization, simply because most of the form is already done! It also helps us with consistency amongst the staff....we all do the same form the same way now.

CONS

There's been some issues with the plant lists not being entirely correct (old taxonomy, incorrect wetland indicator statuses for the region, etc), or missing some plants we thought should be there. We've been able to ask for those updates to the plant lists, and Wildnote has been very responsive. Similarly, we have a super hard time finding and selecting Gley soil colors.

Reason for choosing Wildnote

Wildnote is also able to be adapted for other forms, not just wetland forms. That was a big factor.

Vendor Response

Hi Tim, Thank you so much for the review and the great feedback! We love hearing that Wildnote works as an efficient data collection tool, but also as a way to ensure consistency and train new biologists! As you know, we are always happy to edit our taxonomy lists when something is missing or incorrect, so keep sending that stuff our way! Also, the easiest way to find the gley soil colors is to type in the color name or abbreviation. Let us know if you have any questions. Many thanks! Nancy Douglas Director of Customer Success

It is relatively easy to use platform

So-so. I use a lot of different organizations software and it is on scale with others. Not the worse, not the. Est

PROS

It is at least simple to access. The form is able to quickly cover the bases needed.

CONS

Not nearly as customizable as a lot of other platforms I use for recording.

Vendor Response

Hi Jesse, Thank you for the review, and I am so glad to hear that you are able to quickly and easily access the forms needed for field recording! Wildnote has a wide range of customization options for projects, forms, and reporting, but you must be an admin on the project to access these options. If there is a change you would like made to the field form, or have suggestions on how it could be better for field users then please contact your project managers since they are the only ones that have the administrative privileges to see and make changes to the forms you use. Thanks again for the feedback. -Nancy Douglas Director of Customer Success

Making overly complicated field forms easier

I really enjoy it! I just wish I could convince more of the team to use it. Some people get stuck in the old way of doing things and waste time doing so.

PROS

The wetland forms are the bread and butter, and the refinements over the last couple years have made it excellent. I like to be able to make other custom forms as well, it’s a real pain to bring paper forms for just about any fieldwork operation, so having it on phones generally is preferred by all.

CONS

Not being able to make a custom pdf export to be able to take information and directly apply it to a blank form (like the wetland form). I know there is a way to take an excel export and have it fill a pdf, but I definitely lack that level of dedication…

Reason for choosing Wildnote

Functionality outside of just the wetland form. Also, their pricing/licensing is convoluted and pricey!

Vendor Response

Hi Trevor, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review! We appreciate the feedback very much, and are pleased to hear that the Wetland forms work well for you. We totally understand your desire for a more customizeable PDF report, and are always working to add more functionality to our exports. Your feedback has been added to our list of future improvements to the PDF export! -Nancy Douglas Director of Customer Success
