Learn more about Early Access features and take a look at the current Early Access features in SafetyCulture.

What are Early Access features?

An Early Access feature is a feature that's ready to be used, but still undergoing fine-tuning as we:

  • Capture more feedback and refine the feature.

  • Find the market fit for the problem it's trying to solve.

  • Release the feature in phases to minimize the impact should problems come up.

Depending on the case, we may release an Early Access feature either only to certain organizations or to all customers on an opt-in basis.

Enable or disable an Early Access feature

  1. Open the mobile app.

  2. Tap your user profile icon at the upper-right corner of your screen.

  3. In the pop-up menu, select Settings iconSettings.

  4. Scroll to the "Early Access features" section to enable or disable the Early Access feature. If you're using an Android device, close the SafetyCulture app and re-open it to apply the changes.

Enabling or disabling Early Access features via mobile app settings is device-specific, meaning changes you make on one device won't apply to another.

Get accurate weather details as responses to your inspection questions, instead of relying on manual observations or going to another app for weather information.

Frequently asked questions

You can expect new ways to use SafetyCulture and may find looks and flows change on short notice as we release iterations.

On occasion, you may also encounter some bugs that require attention. In these scenarios, please help us fix these bugs by letting our customer support team know.

Depending on how well a feature was received in its Early Access period, we may decide to continue building it into a full-fledged feature, or we may decide to remove it from the product entirely.

You can tell if a feature is in Early Access by the following tag:

The Early Access tag via the web app.

You can find and click the Send feedback button on the upper-right corner of most pages to provide feedback.

That depends on the feature. For some features, you can enable the feature via mobile app settings by yourself. While for some other features, we may invite you to participate if your organization fits our criteria, so keep an eye out for emails from SafetyCulture.
