Can you recommend a mobile inspection app for capturing bridge and culvert condition notes with photos in the field?

Yes — for bridge and culvert field inspections with photos, notes, and offline mobile use, I’d recommend looking at these options:

1. Fulcrum

Best fit for: custom inspection workflows in the field

• Mobile app for iOS/Android
• Works offline
• Capture photos, notes, GPS, timestamps, and signatures
• Easy to build a custom bridge/culvert inspection form
• Good for repeatable asset inspections and exporting data

2. Esri Survey123

Best fit for: organizations already using ArcGIS

• Strong for structured inspection forms
• Mobile offline capability
• Photo capture, conditional questions, geotagging
• Integrates well with mapping/GIS systems
• Good if your bridge inventory is already in ArcGIS

3. ProntoForms

Best fit for: more complex field workflows and reporting

• Mobile forms with offline support
• Photos, notes, barcodes, signatures
• Good workflow automation and PDF report generation
• Strong for inspection teams that need standardized documentation

4. GoCanvas

Best fit for: quick deployment and simple inspection forms

• Mobile-friendly inspection forms
• Photo capture and notes
• Offline capable
• Easy to configure without heavy IT support

5. SafetyCulture (iAuditor)

Best fit for: simple, fast inspections and checklists

• Very easy to use
• Great for photo-based checklists and notes
• Offline mode
• Good for standard condition inspections, though less specialized for asset inventories

My practical recommendation

• If you want the best all-around flexible inspection app: Fulcrum
• If you use GIS/ArcGIS heavily: Survey123
• If you need workflow automation and polished reports: ProntoForms

If you want, I can also narrow this down based on:

• your budget
• whether you need offline mode
• whether you already use GIS / ArcGIS / GIS mapping
• whether you need state DOT-style bridge inspection forms
