Hi Amy,
> ... the version I am using is not reconciling to my gdb ... Also I cannot figure out how to view any conflicts when i reconcile
Can you please describe your workflow in more detail? For example, after you've captured data in the field (how and with which app?), do you open the feature service (used by the field app) in ArcMap and attempt to perform a reconcile operation? When you perform a reconcile, conflicts should appear.

Hope this helps,
