Although it is linked with mindat . This app should put more focus on personallly uploading photos to locations as well as “common mineral” i feel as if “common minerals can look different depending on where your at , so getting a good idea of all the different forms the same mineral can have will be less confusing to the noobs …

And i can’t tell if “common minerals “ are generalized , or if they’re specific to the current ground structure I’m on when i look at my dashboard .

Help! Need to find contact for App Store, can’t connect with my account

Hello, I am not able to find a way to contact the Rockd app. I logged out and had to EE upload from phone and it is showing that I have lost all my data from the last year and a half. Any help will be much appreciated.

Bug patches needed

Nothing loads since the latest update (11/22) including maps, detailed info, check ins.

Please add stereonet

That’s all

Location accuracy

Since the latest app update, the app fails to update your gps position in real time. This is frustrating if using while on a road trip, which is the most useful application of Rock’d. Additionally the map often fails to indicate North making it difficult to determine geologic units relative to your position. Have a nice day.

Upgraded terrain base

Absolutely love the DEM base upgrade! So much easier to find things and reference the geology to the landscape.

Great app, major bug fixes have succeeded!

Retracting my previous view about difficulty tracking location and the map refreshing back to your location every time you exit and come back. THANK YOU to the developers for fixing this. Excited to use this app more often now!

Rockd - my go to Geology App.

Pardon the pun but this Free App Rocks. Up to date Geologic maps that you tap on to find out all kinds of information. Built in Brunton compass, lists of rock forming minerals. It is just great. They do have a Donate section to help support progress and updates but they don’t push you at all.

I love this app!!!! Please keep it up. Literally my families favorite app!!!

This is by far my sons favorite app and mine as well. It helps us know where to explore, what to research and figure narrow down different rocks we find. I recommend it to every novice rock hounder I meet.

Awesome app!

If I could give it 10 stars I would. Sure the app has some annoyances (outweighed by useful features) but what I really like is the social platform where users can post their waypoint info, visible to others. On the first day of using Rockd I found amazing outcrops and places to visit I had no idea existed, none of the “pros” on UT mentioned them. Two thumbs up Rockd!
