I would strongly encourage you to move over to Explorer for ArcGIS which will have all the feature functions of the Green App and a more modern approach to the UX/UI. Explorer is under active development and will be supporting offline map use in the next release.</P><P></P><P>Collector is a mobile application focused on field data collection and is really targeted at those who need to collect and update their GIS data in the field.</P><P></P><P>Hope this helps and happy holidays,</P><P>-Brent</P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 16 Dec 2015 13:58:25 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-collector-questions/collector-vs-arcgis-for-ios/m-p/183787#M3061 BrentPierce 2015-12-16T13:58:25Z Re: Collector vs. ArcGIS for iOS https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-collector-questions/collector-vs-arcgis-for-ios/m-p/183788#M3062 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Thanks, Paul.
