Android NM Collector Software

NM Collector for the Android!

Skip introduction and go straight to Android Market

This is the home page for the NM Collector Android applications. Through the years many people have requested a mobile version of NM Collector Software. Until now I have been unwilling to put the effort in to deliver on that request because of the variation in mobile platforms. With Android using Java I finally decided it was worth the effort to create a mobile Collecting Software application for the Android.

The intent of these applications is to work in conjunction with the Desktop version of NM Collector Software which makes it easy to input data.  That data can then be easily transferred to your mobile device to take with you and make minor adjustments  (like easily adding pictures) as necessary on the go and then uploading the changes back to the desktop.  Although the mobile apps allow you to enter data from scratch, they are not meant to be the primary means of data entry.
