Try the Collect 1.7.0 beta

Hello,

The beta for version 1.7.0 is now available from the Play Store and
we'd appreciate feedback, especially about any crashes or unexpected
behavior you might encounter.

Things to test in v1.7.0 beta:

  • Bulk configure devices offline via QR code (In Admin Settings, under
    Import/Export settings)
  • Easily take pictures that default to front camera by using "selfie"
    appearance. I have attached a form for you to try out!
  • Scan barcodes without needing external Barcode Scanner app
  • Change app language (in General Settings) and verify translation quality

Report any issues: https://github.com/opendatakit/collect/issues

If you're not yet enrolled in the beta program, consider joining at
https://play.google.com/apps/testing/org.odk.collect.android. Note
that while betas are generally close to production-ready, I don't
recommend enrolling devices that are used to collect real data.

Thanks,

Hélène.
