Where do I buy it?

Do I need to have access to the internet?

All your data is stored online so you will need to access the internet to upload new content and to view what has already been added. Our apps do have offline capabilities though so you can see add observations through them to be uploaded later.

Is my internet connection strong enough?

How strong your internet needs to be depends on how many of you are using it at once, how much you’re adding to Tapestry, and how much you’re moving around the site. Generally though we recommend at least 2mb per second.
You can check your connection speed to Tapestry as well as seeing if there is something blocking you from accessing it at all from here:

Do you offer phone support?

We’re a small (but passionate and highly efficient!) team so we don’t have the resources to offer phone support, but if you send us an email we’ll be happy to help that way or give you a call back if it’s easier to get to the bottom of your query that way.
