Common questions about
switching from doForms.

doForms caches forms for offline use. Mapalyze uses a true offline-first architecture with an encrypted local database (SQLCipher AES-256). Every record is created and stored locally first, then synced when connected. No data loss, even after days offline.

Yes. Mapalyze includes a drag-and-drop form builder, AI-powered form generation, photo capture, GPS tagging, barcode scanning, and digital signatures — plus task management, asset tracking, and AI analysis that doForms doesn't provide.

Yes. Mapalyze captures 6 geometry types (point, line, polygon, multi-point, multi-line, multi-polygon) and exports to 11 formats including GeoJSON, Shapefile, KML, and GeoPackage. doForms captures GPS coordinates but not complex geometries.

Yes. Export your doForms submissions as CSV files and import them into Mapalyze. The form builder makes it easy to recreate your data collection workflows.
