This is one of the coolest integrations with the SurveyGizmo API we have seen in a very long time. The guys over at SurveyDeck have integrated with SurveyGizmo to create a great new way of taking surveys – through an iPhone App.
So what is SurveyDeck?
SurveyDeck allows SurveyGizmo users to download their surveys onto an iPhone and then collect responses anywhere — even where there’s no 3G or Wifi connection! These responses are then synced with SurveyGizmo once you have an internet connection and appear as usual in the response list. It basically allows you to do offline surveys.
Let me repeat that. You can collect survey data on the iPhone/iPod Touch even when you don’t have network connectivity!
Not that AT&T ever has network problems…
We see SurveyDeck being used when you need to gather information directly on-site without an internet connection, when you’re doing in store customer satisfaction surveys, and when interviewing. We hear the iPhone app is even being used at a school for students’ fieldwork – the whole class has either iPhones or iPod Touches!
SurveyDeck is extremely easy to use and a great offline survey tool. They offer online help to get you going, an index of questions to let you jump to a particular question in a survey, and a slick presentation. SurveyDeck is owned and designed by our partner Human Factors Solutions.

is this available now? i have a client that would like to make use of this app. i am just now subscribing to Survey Gizmo enterprise edition – would this app be included in my fee or is it additional?

Yes, it’s available now. Since this is built by a separate company, they have their own fee, but it’s only a one-time $10 purchase in the app store. Contact http://www.surveydeck.com if you have more questions for them.
Thanks!

Will additional programming capabilities, like skip logic, be available in the near future with the SurveyDeck app?

Hi Megan,
I’m not sure about that. We’ll have to ask the guys over at SurveyDeck about that one. SurveyDeck was really made to fill out forms out in the field where you don’t have access to email. Alternatively, you can use regular SurveyGizmo with skip logic on an iPhone as long as you have an internet connection. You just have to use the Safari browser that’s already on your iPhone. We even have a special iPhone template that you can use that is pre-formatted for the iPhone’s size.
I hope that helps!

Do you have the capability to have a table of contents in the beginning of the survey such that you can fill out the survey in sections, without the standard linear format? For example, on one device I’d like to fill out section A first, then go to section C, then back to B, where each section is a series of questions; whereas on a second device I’d like to go section A, then B, then C.

Hi Steve,
We don’t have that exact capability, but you might be able to do that using the Percent branch functionality. Your best bet though is to ask our support team if they can think up a way to do it. They’re very creative and would be more than happy to help.
Cheers!

I downloaded SurveyDeck and created a sample survey in SurveyGizmo but found that it has an issue where the images inserted in SurveyGizmo does’nt show on SurveyDeck. Is this a known issue? In the preview surveyon SurveyGizmo, it appears but not on the SurveyDeck iPad/iPhone application. Is there any solution for this?

Hi, Pradeep,
From what I understand, this is actually a SurveyDeck issue. At the start of this year we released a new API, and supposedly they’re in the process of upgrading their application to work with it. This should help solve this problem. Your best bet is to visit the SurveyDeck site and send them an email to let them know about the issue – they may be able to fix it, or take it under consideration.
Thanks!
