### 2/5 — Imagery issue

*2026-07-10*

The historical imagery is inaccurate. It shows the same image for a few years

### 1/5 — Lag

*2026-02-01, version 2.5.1*

Lag có xem được gì đâu. Phế vật.

### 2/5 — Stunted Development

*2025-08-27*

The app is pretty okay, but definitely lacking in some basic functionality for an iOS or iPadOS application. The lack of a landscape display option for users working from an iPad is rather infuriating as it prevents the user from being able to use it on the iPad using a keyboard. From an iOS perspective, some of the target audience of this will likely use Juggernaut cases or similar to keep a phone accessible, but able to fold away and likewise need a landscape orientation option.  When adding / editing features, the navigation of adding points is counterintuitive to the gestures and there is zero support for Apple Pencil.  This works as a basic app, but there is a ton of room to grow and ESRI can definitely do better. Perhaps just an artifact of ESRI’s overall lack of support for the Apple ecosystem.

### 1/5 — Gulf of Mexico

*2025-03-06*

Gulf of Mexico has the wrong name and I won’t use a service that doesn’t follow current international  standards for the names of bodies of water

### 3/5 — Good so far.

*2025-02-18*

Good so far, but I’ve only been doing data points for a project. It would be awesome if you could add a light mode as it is hard to see in sunny areas. Or it’s there somewhere and I’m blind.

### 2/5 — Landscape?

*2024-11-22*

Using Ipad with mouse and keyboard so portrait makes me want to use other earth type apps instead.

### 4/5 — Great app but…

*2024-11-13, version 2.2.1*

Works amazing, but we need landscape view to fully take advantage of our iPads

### 3/5 — I have problem

*2024-11-05, version 2.2.1*

New update for app make crash and out of app to home screen

### 3/5 — Bị lag quá

*2024-09-11, version 2.2*

Bị lag quá ad cho về phiên bản cũ đi

### 1/5 — App quá lag

*2024-07-25, version 2.1*

Lần nào vào app cũng bị crash ra ngoài. App quá tệ. Mình dùng 12 pro max chứ không phải máy quá cũ nhé
