iOS Mobile App
The Unearth mobile app on iOS is the perfect pairing to the Unearth web app, and provides many benefits:
Optimized for mobile devices - the Unearth app refines work on mobile devices, allowing you to precisely draw and place assets on the map using a mobile device.
Use GPS to your advantage - directly navigate to an asset, connect to GPS devices such as Trimble to gather data with precise accuracy, or use the Quick Capture feature to immediately take a photo and have it geolocated to the place it was taken.
Collect data even when there is no internet connection using Offline Mode - Offline mode is activated when an internet connection is not available. Data can still be gathered, and as soon as the internet connection is restored, all changes and additions will be synced to the cloud and visible on all devices.
In this article, you'll learn how to download and navigate the Unearth App, add assets and information, use offline mode, and optimize use with our tips and tricks.

Offline Mode
If you're in an area with poor cellular reception, the Unearth Mobile App will move you into Offline Mode. This mode allows data to be collected without an internet connection and synced with the project once a connection is restored.
When offline mode is active, assets added will show in the list with a small gray cloud icon - indicating they have not yet synced to the project. Once online, these assets will sync.
Keep in mind that there may be a slight delay between connection being regained and the cloud icon disappearing.
Mobile App Tips and Tricks
When uploading photos: iOS has additional security measures that strips the location data from photos when adding from within a browser. For this reason, we highly recommend using the iOS Unearth Mobile App when adding photos, as it will always retain its location data - whether taken from quick capture or uploaded as an asset or to an asset form.
If you must work from an iOS mobile browser, there is a workaround: First, "share" the photo from your camera roll and "Save to Files." Then, when adding the photo in Unearth, click "Choose Files" rather than "Photo Library" and select it from the files - this will retain the location data.
