### 3/5 — Very Useful But….

*2024-06-06*

Awesome app. I got it just before the last update and started cataloguing my metal detecting finds immediately. I had a few days updated and then a few days off. When I got back out exploring I found the update streamlined the look and I really like it. The only problem now is that my past data is no longer catalogued and when I input new finds I can make a pdf copy of the items but can’t do anything with it like download it or send it to my metal detecting master file, it just sits in its own space as a pdf with no where to go, no menu to go there. Because of the lost data and being unable to download a pdf copy of my finds I can only give the app 3 stars. Hopefully the glitches will be worked out soon so I can write up a 5 star review.✌🏻🤙🏻

### 5/5 — Very Useful

*2021-12-10*

When I first tried to use it, I thought something was wrong because it froze after taking my first photo and I couldn’t do anything more. Then I discovered that I have not given the app permission to access my photos!
Duh! That was my fault. Turns out the app is amazing and it is going to help me tremendously when I take it out with me metal detecting next time. I can’t wait.
I have been looking for an app like this for a long time.

Thank you

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money

*2020-08-06*

Very basic app. You may as well just use notes on phone. Shows where you found your item and you can categorise your pics. 
Very disappointed.

### 1/5 — Another waste of money sadly

*2016-08-18*

I downloaded this app on my iphone6+ and it locks up when editing location data making it unusable. Plus it would have been a good app IF the location gps data was stored or available rather than just a google map snap shot. I tried to contact the developers by following the supplied link but it fails to connect to any resources? I'll be looking for a refund as half finished apps like this should be removed from the App Store as they cannot be tested without paying and when they don't do as advertised they are misrepresenting the product and making money for a useless app. If the links to the developer had worked I would have contacted them for support but I suspect they've moved on in which case the app should be deleted.

### 5/5 — Nice!

*2015-06-25*

Great for keeping track of my rocks and where they came from. Easy to use and great for getting back to my sites.

### 5/5 — Estate sales and Garage sales helper

*2015-06-08*

I have been using the app for 2 weekends now and have benefited from keeping a log of what I have purchased and / or find.

### 5/5 — Handy for arrowhead hunting

*2015-06-02*

This app is great for documenting my arrowhead finds. No need to worry about publicly exposing your spots (like on Instagram).

### 5/5 — Metal Detecting

*2015-06-01*

I do a lot of metal detecting along various beaches and fields and this app is great for marking where I found my items.  It makes it really easy to return to past sites.
