# Videos: iOS Mobile - How to Prepare your Device and Collect Data in the Field

## Learn how to use the Wildnote mobile functions for iOS devices.

Before you leave the office, download the latest version of the app, log in, and sync all. In the field, collect data, use shortcuts, save the data (**save often!**), and check out the map view and reference project documents. While in the field you can edit, delete, and duplicate surveys. Once you get back to a good internet connect sync the surveys so others can see the data.

#### Get Started with the Wildnote mobile app. Download the latest version, Log in, and Sync All

Watch this video to make sure you are ready to take the app out in the field. Before you go offline it is always a good idea to make sure you have the latest version of the app. While you have a good internet connection you will also want to log in to Wildnote on the app, and Sync All to update your project data and get the newest surveys. If you are using a taxonomy list you will want to sync that too before you go out to the field.
