Hi Kate,
Short the offline capabilities..though in development, Dedoose runs
natively on any computer, netbook, or tablet (currently Android only,
but the IPad version is coming soon). And as a web-application all
you need is your browser to use Dedoose. Inexpensive monthly
subscription fees and easy to learn and uses, so hope you'll take a
look.
