Jotform Mobile Forms FAQ

Collecting important data while you’re in the field or away from your computer will help streamline your business. Jotform Mobile Forms lets you create, share, and fill out forms offline from the convenience of your phone or tablet. The app offers many popular integrations and advanced form features for better data collection and collaboration. With Jotform Mobile Forms, you can eliminate paperwork, speed up your workflow, and boost your productivity.

Yes! All of our forms are mobile-friendly, meaning you’ll be able to complete them on any device. Even if you’ve created your form on a web browser, you’ll still be able to view, complete, and edit it with our mobile forms app. Whether you use Jotform on a computer, phone, or tablet, all of your data will automatically sync to your Jotform account.

Yes. You can save incomplete submissions simply by clicking the Submit button on your form. When you return to your form, click View Responses and select which submission draft you’d like to edit. From there, you’ll be able to resume filling out your form.

After selecting a form, click Share Form to send via email, text message, social media, and other mobile apps. Select the Assign Form option to allow teammates or staff members to access your form through their mobile device — they won’t even need a Jotform account! Keep in mind that assignees will only be able to complete your form and view their own response; they won’t have access to other submissions or form editing.

No internet connection, no Wi-Fi? No need for paper forms — Jotform Mobile Forms lets you work offline so you can collect data on the go. To enable offline forms, simply go to Settings and select which forms you’d like to access without Wi-Fi. You’ll be able to receive, review, and edit form submissions, and fill out forms offline. Once you’re back online, Jotform will sync your data automatically for an uninterrupted experience. It’s a great solution for field workers conducting field research without internet access!

The amount of offline data you can store is based on the amount of storage space available on your mobile device. When your mobile device is almost out of space, the app will automatically disable the offline form that contains the most data. But you don’t have to worry about losing important information — you can still access all forms from a computer with your Jotform account.

Kiosk Mode lets you turn your phone or tablet into a survey station — perfect for generating leads at trade shows, conferences, or events. It automatically refreshes after each form submission, letting you seamlessly collect feedback from multiple people.

To set up Kiosk Mode, simply

• Select the form you’d like to put in Kiosk Mode
• Press Open in Kiosk Mode
• Choose whether or not to set up Screen Lock

No worries! You can use your Jotform password to turn off Kiosk Mode if you forget your PIN. Just swipe down the screen with two fingers, select “Forgot PIN?”, and enter your Jotform password instead.
