The current version of Collector for ArcGIS is now thoroughly developed on both iOS and Android platforms which means the old version called Collector Classic is going dark. Starting in late July the app will be removed from both the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store, neither store will have the app available for download nor will it be supported.

What does this mean for those of you who are still using the Collector Classic? Simply put, now is the time to begin migrating your workforce over to the new platform so as to make your transition as seamless as possible. This includes removing Classic from all applicable devices and downloading Collector for ArcGIS, logging in to make sure all usernames and passwords work, testing to make sure all shared maps and data are editable and to familiarize yourself with the new app.

Speaking of familiarity, we on the Seiler MGIS team know that change can be difficult and thankfully, so does ESRI. That is why they developed Collector for ArcGIS with focuses on ease of use and modern functionality while adding the latest mapping and data collection capabilities available to the ArcGIS platform.
