- If you are using the most up-to-date operating system and the most current version of the Fieldwire App, and are still experiencing any issues, please click the appropriate link and proceed to the troubleshooting steps for Android or Apple iOS to address syncing issues.
Note: If you are using an older version of the Fieldwire App, it is possible that some of your projects will become "Blocked", and you will not be able to access those projects. This is due to certain features being updated within the projects, themselves. The only way to get Unblocked at this point is to update your version of the Fieldwire App.
Web browser versions
Fieldwire works on all web browsers, including recent versions of Chrome (Recommended), Firefox, Safari, and Microsoft Edge.
Note: Internet Explorer has been discontinued, and Microsoft will stop supporting it completely in 2021
Fieldwire's Windows App (Beta)
At this time, Fieldwire's Windows App, available to download on the Microsoft Store, is currently in beta. There are no plans for development as Microsoft, themselves, have stopped development on their mobile devices.
If you have downloaded Fieldwire from the Microsoft Store for your Windows computer, we recommend using the web version of Fieldwire instead (app.fieldwire.com).
The Fieldwire Windows app for the Microsoft Surface operates differently than the mobile app available on Android and iOS devices since it is a 'skin' of the web version.
The Fieldwire App for Microsoft Surface lacks certain features, such as no offline mode and no access to the device's back camera. Thus, if you'd like to leverage Fieldwire on your Surface, we recommend using the Surface's web browser to access the web version of Fieldwire (app.fieldwire.com) alternatively you can download the latest and greatest mobile experience on our iOS or Android apps.
