Troubleshooting
Which browsers and devices work
Terralox runs in an up-to-date web browser on iPad, iPhone, Android and computers. Here's what to use and what to avoid.
Terralox works in your web browser, so there's nothing to download. Use a current version of one of these:
| Device | Use |
|---|---|
| iPad or iPhone | Safari, or the home screen app added from Safari |
| Android phone or tablet | Chrome |
| Windows computer | Chrome or Edge |
| Mac | Safari, Chrome or Edge |
Most field work is done on an iPad (TerraPlan) or a phone (TerraCam). The office often uses a laptop for Jobs, the Team tab and reports.
Settings that matter
- Keep your browser and device up to date. Old versions may show a broken page.
- Allow cookies for terralox.com. Your sign-in is kept in a cookie. Without it you'll be sent back to sign in.
- Allow pop-ups for Continue with Google. Google sign-in opens a small window.
- Allow the camera when TerraCam asks, so it can take photos.
- Don't use a private or incognito window for field work. Anything saved on the device to upload later is erased when a private window closes.
Working without signal
TerraPlan and TerraCam keep working with no signal once they've been opened on the device with signal. See Work offline and sync.
Shared devices
A shared office iPad is fine. Each company's saved job list is kept separately on the device. When someone else needs to use it, sign out first; remember that signing out signs you out on every device. See Sign in and sign out.
Related questions
Do I need the App Store or Google Play?
No. To get an app icon, add the program to your home screen. See Add Terralox to your phone or iPad home screen.
Can I use Firefox?
We suggest Chrome or Edge on a computer. If something doesn't look right in another browser, try one of those first.
