Set up the Field App

Take your Felt maps into the field. Get the free Field App for iPhone, iPad, or Android and log in with your Felt account.

Install the Field App on your phone or tablet, and log in with your Felt account to view maps, see your location, and capture features with photos. You can also work offline, and your changes sync when you're back online.

What each Field App task needs

What you can do in the Field App depends on your access to the map, whether you have a seat, and your workspace's plan. See Seats and viewers, Permissions, and Compare plans.

Log in to the Field App

Log in to the Field App with your Felt account. If you don't have an account, sign up for Felt on the web first. You can't sign up in the app.

  1. Open the Field App.

  2. Enter your email address and tap Next.

  3. Log in the way you do on the web: with your password, Google, or Single Sign-On (SSO). The app opens on your recent maps.

See Account and login.

Open a map in the Field App

The Field App opens on Recents, which lists the maps you viewed recently. Tap a map to open it. Tap the back arrow at the top left of the map to return to Recents.

  • To narrow the list, tap the filter at the top of Recents, and select My maps, Workspace maps, or All maps.

  • To open projects, Drafts, Offline maps, or another workspace, tap the ☰ menu at the top left.

  • To open a specific map, tap its Felt link on your phone, such as the link in an invitation email. With the app installed, the link opens the map in the Field App, not the browser.

To find the controls you need, see Tour the Field App.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use Felt in my phone's browser instead of the Field App?

Yes. Maps in a mobile browser use the same touch layout as the Field App. Only the Field App downloads maps for offline use and opens Felt map links directly, so we recommend it for field work.

Can I create maps or upload data in the Field App?

No. You create maps, upload data, and style layers in Felt on the web. In the Field App, you add and edit features in layers that already exist on a map. See Run a field survey.
