Data entry for shorebird nesting

Good afternoon community of Wildlabs, my name's Rolando and I wonder if any of you have used before any app for bird data entry on the field that can be used in a tablet or cellphone, I have more than 70 variables to write per species and I know if I can use something to reduce the time of data entry it will help me to actually have in real time analysis of the sampling, google docs can help me but I wonder if any of you got knowledge of something different, thank you!

Hi Rolando, 

ODK or KoboToolBox are fairly easy to use and manage for creating forms that can be deployed on tablets or phones, at least based on my experience from two years ago.

Best,
