Great App!
This is a great tool. I work in an environment where a good GIS program and mobile on-site capability is imperative to our safety. I found a glitch in the program and emailed the creators who responded promptly and had an update out within a couple of weeks. Great program and great support!
Excellent
Excellent tech support, functions as advertised

This is an incredibly useful tool for mapping, navigating and collecting data in the field. We used this program to map erosion and landslide hazards along a 600 mile utility alignment in remote parts of the United States. We were able to upload the utility alignment before our trip and cache the satellite images for several miles on either side of the alignment, so that we could still navigate and zoom in on features in the field. The points that are part of the program are very applicable and useful, but also adding points to feature classes when needed is very simple and fast. We were able to walk the perimeter of landslides using the polygon feature and then collect information such as scarp dimensions, slope inclination, direction of movement, etc. All the collected information is then saved together for that point. It is also convenient to be able to take photographs in the same location that you collect data. The quality of the photos turned out well. Once we were back in the office, we downloaded the data directly to Google Earth. We were then able to email kmz files to the client with our data. This saved hours of GIS time in the office. The Otterbox cover is durable and protected the iPad during use. Overall, we were very happy with the capabilities of this app and will be using it for all our future mapping projects.

Awesome!!
Great app! It is easy to use, very intuitive and extremely powerful. I collect spatial data for a living and life just got much easier with this app! I especially like being able to import GIS shape files and create my own feature class templates for customized data collection. I love being able to collect data using GPS locating or placing the data point on an air photo or map. And the ability to export data to kmz files, shape files, csv files and gpx files is awesome! There is no greater spatial data collection app out there.

GIS Pro is hands down the best GIS application out there for Iphone/IPads. I have found the ability to cache maps and aerial photos, easily create feature layers/classes, and transmit field data in multiple formats very useful. With the addition of GIS Pro to my IPad, Trimbles and other other GIS devices are just not as useful as they once were.

Great field app
I've been waiting for years for an app like this. It is very practical, extremely flexible, and no training to get going. Loading project imagery or caching images is huge when in a disconnected environment. Our firm is very diverse in field data collection needs and this suits such a wide variety of information. Much easier to use than standard gps systems, you have to just remember this is rec grade gps and not sub-meter. Even then, the manual digitizing ability mostly mitigates that issue. Works well so far, no crashing.
