FAQ: Why Should I Use the Explorer App if I'm Already Using the ArcGIS for iOS?

Answer

The ArcGIS for iOS and Android applications are very popular and many users are happy with them. Not only can you display maps, but you can also collect data. Explorer provides users with a much more modern UI that is tightly integrated in the latest version of iOS (7.x).
