Which App do I Download?
There are two different versions of the Mobile Forms app for Android, the Google Play Store Version (more common) and the Enterprise Version (less common). This article covers how to install the Enterprise Version.
If you're unsure which version you should install, please contact the Mobile Forms Administrator for your company.
