What is PlutoF GO?
PlutoF GO is a mobile tool designed for collecting biodiversity data right out in the field. It lets you gather information offline, automatically fills in your GPS location and current date/time, and even allows you to scan QR codes directly from sample labels (see section 4). When you're ready, you can upload your saved data to the PlutoF workbench immediately or hold onto it to edit later or wait for a better internet connection.
To log in to the PlutoF GO app, simply use your existing PlutoF account credentials. You don't need to create a new profile, just log in with the same username and password you use for the web platform.
