Shape is an Android field-survey app that collects GPS-tagged features, form data, and photos offline, then moves the results back into a QGIS workflow.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-09 issue.

For: Field surveyors using QGIS in low-connectivity areas
Worth noticing: The page reports a 16.51 MB release APK, Android 11+ support, and field tests on 5–6 September 2026.

Field notes

The described workflow starts with a QGIS-generated project package containing layers, a manifest, photos, and styling, then returns survey results for processing in QGIS. Shape says survey profiles can specify fields, coded values, and progress rules in a JSON file. The page also reports a 672-test suite and field testing on two dates in September 2026; its app visuals are illustrations rather than screenshots.
