Hi.,

Mobile data collection is the method of gathering any type of information using a mobile device, such as a smartphone or tablet. It is the intersection of “Data + Mobile Technology + Population” where population refers to people, or statistically speaking, your sample.

Some Applicatrions:

• Device Magic (Web, iOS, Android)
• Fulcrum (Web, iOS, Android)
• Magpi (Web, iOS, Android)
• FastField (Web, iOS, Android)
• Zoho Forms (Web, iOS, Android)

Most smartphone devices have built-in sensors that measure: (Motion, Environment and Position).

I suggest that you get your hands down and build your own app to get the data as apps on the stores are either OS-version specific or not completely free if continuously maintained.

• Motion sensors (accelero-meters, gravity sensors, gyroscopes, and rotational vector sensors) ==> acceleration forces and rotational forces along three axes.
• Environmental sensors (barometers, photometers, and thermometers) ==> ambient air temperature, pressure, illumination, and humidity
• Position sensors (orientation sensors and magnetometers) ==> physical position of a device.
