Navigation Improvements (4)
There are a number of navigation improvements that would make it simpler for new users and faster for frequent users.
1) Picklists should return immediately not require 2 clicks

2) Where there is a subform with multirecords on a separate table view page there should be a DONE button at the bottom for consistency. I instruct our users to always scroll to the bottom and hit DONE. On the multirecord separate table view page they have to hit back button (which is inconsistent since this is normally used for saving a draft)
3) Where there is a single record subform there should be the ability to move into the subform and back to the parent without transition through a separate table view (nor require a table view on the master form)
4) Picture Capture on Android requires 4 clicks - one to open the Camera gadget, 1 to take the picture, 1 to save the picture and 1 to click the tick mark on the Camera gadget before finally getting back to the form. Need to reduce the number of steps, users often miss the final click (since they already hit save) and hence lose the photo.
I'm sure there are a few others I can think of - but these are the top of our list.

sure - these are multiple requests - all falling under better usuability.
BTW I think iForms is very good and excellent backend - so I'm keen to see the usuability and look on mobile device improved. We used to use another product (which is no longer available), which allowed users to identify more easily the type of widget (EG Icons for subforms) and had multiple font types (for labels, headings and dividers). And had subpages (subforms) for help text or reference which didn't generate a record when entered. Happy to share more details.

Hi Hamish, in case you weren't aware... every widget can have an icon above it. Subforms will leverage the form icon you assign to that form.

Image Labels wdigets can also be leveraged to create any style of label or divider you like.
The attachment widget is designed for reference materials and doesn't create a record when used. We also have a reference ID if you really want to leverage a subform and not have it create a record.

- (No new record is created for the form and no data is uploaded from the device. Mainly for use with informative forms.https://iformbuilder.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/201699300?#refid1
