### 1/5 — 読み取り出来ません

*2026-04-21*

10年以上愛用させて頂きましたが、アップデートしてから、初めて使用しましたが、入力した手簿が開く事が出来なくなりました。これでは、全く使えません。

### 1/5 — もう使いません

*2026-03-10*

元々買い切りでお金を取っておいて、急にサブスクにするその図々しさ。
しかもその切り替えの際に、それまでのデータが全部消えた。
もう2度と使いません。

### 1/5 — バッージョンアップ前の方が良かった

*2025-11-15*

バージョンアップして、データ作成の数に限度ができた。
データを開くこともできない。

バージョンアップ前はシンプルで非常に使いやすかったですが、今は使い物にならないです。

### 1/5 — 買い切りだったのに

*2025-10-22*

買い切りだったのに、なぜかバージョンアップされたら月額になったり、使いにくかったりと最悪。バージョンダウンです。

### 1/5 — どうなってる

*2025-10-08*

更新前に戻してほしい
入力したデータが見れない

### 1/5 — 改悪

*2025-10-07*

過去のデータが全て消えた上にユーザーインターフェイスが劣化した。そのくせ月額料金が掛かるようになり最低。

### 1/5 — 急に仕様が変わって

*2025-09-28*

今までのデータは何処に行ったの？

### 1/5 — 残念

*2025-09-25*

バージョンアップ前は快適に利用させて頂いたのですが、
バージョンアップの際に全ての野帳データが消えてしまいました…
仕方なく、新たにデータを打ち込んでみたものの、今度は打ち込んだデータファイルが開かない…
操作がシンプルで気に入っていただけにとても残念です…

### 4/5 — Great app

*2024-12-09, version 1.1*

Great app. Would be nice to have options to highlight columns afterwards to have BM’s stick out or whatever you wanted.  Very nice app !!!!   Thanks

### 5/5 — Very Helpful!

*2023-11-27, version 1.1*

I use this app almost everyday at work. It’s so easy to use and I love how it updates the numbers if I make an adjustment. 

The only thing I would like to see is being able to choose up to 4 decimal places because we do a lot of very high precision leveling when we are monitoring certain sites for change in elevation. I.e we are currently monitoring a gas line while they do construction nearby and they need to know if the line moves more than 5 millimetres. So 4 decimal places are needed.
