Don’t download

Won’t send the results- waste of time.

Doesn’t work, a scam

Genuinely take my advice and don’t get it, waste of time and effort as it doesn’t even work and send your data. U buy it for convenience yet it does the opposite!!! The annoying thing is u can’t even see your results! That should be something the editors should look into. I have to re do my NEA now as my data is all gone.

didn’t send me results

Response from developer

You need to ensure that Apple Mail is installed on your phone as this is the tool that GeogIT uses to send your data.

crashes constantly

Got this app to try help with collection of data for my A level NEA. This app worked well when using the ‘try geographyIT’ section but as soon as I was out doing my fieldwork the app crashed or had a blank screen every time I went to put data in. Complete waste of money and can’t find anyone to contact.

You can’t edit anything

App works well for the most part but I can’t edit any of the data once put it in and also cannot change the e-mail I’d like it to be sent to and now cannot receive my work as a result. Don’t know if there any way around this but is very tedious

Data will not send!

Unfortunately this app is not working for me. I’ve spent all day collecting data and when I go to send it it just brings me back to the send results page. What do I do?

Changing my review

On looking at the app a little further the “Car Age and “ Car Reg” features are a bit too personal and an invasion of privacy.

Where does the information go when it is received and who reads the data? That is my main concern.

I will still give the app 5 stars... but I won’t recommend the app on the principals I have stated.

If those two features were to be replaced by something less personal .... I might consider use the app. So for the time being I am uninstalling the app and hope the developer appreciates the feedback.

Great app, great idea!

A fantastic idea and very user friendly. The user interface is straightforward and up to date and the ability to integrate your data with ArcGis means students are finally moving away from the outdated clipboard and written presentations of results. Not to say these methods do not have their place, but how many industries really still write out and present data using a pencil and ruler!? The app still has some bugs- I found the decibel meter to not record properly but having a decibel meter on a phone is always going to be problematic. The other methods work well and emailed me results on an excel spreadsheet with longitude and latitude for each separate study location. I can imagine this app getting better with each update.

Great app - no editing features???

The app it’s self is great. All the fieldwork practices are accessible and data collection is simple. However, once saved you can’t edit the data. Additionally, the app doesn’t let you add further data collection methods to your fieldwork folder, after you have initially selected the methods. This means that I had to create more folders and when a mistake was made, I had to start again!

I also had issues sending the final data to my email. The send button was not actively responding and I received no data......

This app needs work. Has the potential to be of value to school geography trips in the future. Can’t recommend it just yet, unfortunately . But great concept!

Great app

Can’t recommend this app enough, it is especially useful for those doing their a level geography coursework as it is a quick and easy way of inputting data. In addition to the wide range of methods featured in the app, it also provides a few tips for presenting the data after having collected it. When the fieldwork is complete, the app allows you to email the results to yourself, presenting them in a few basic, easy to interpret tables etc, ready for analysis. My only criticism of the app is that you can’t go back and change some of the data after entering it; for example with the crime prevention mapping and mood mapping. To improve the app, features such as the ability to edit data after inputting it would be very useful. Other than that, great app, and an excellent alternative to the traditional clipboard and pencil method!

All great but one little thing

It’s really really useful but it does not save every time you request it which can be quite annoying

Every Geography teacher/student needs this

Such a well thought out and useful app for fieldwork. Makes everything so easy with clear instructions and reasoning for fieldwork techniques along with automatic logging of the latitude and longitude. When you finish an email is sent to you with your data and simple guidance on how to implement into GIS using free ArcGIS software.
I particularly like some of the more creative methods of data collection that the author has created, many of which utilise smartphone technology. E.g decibel meter.
I have a few bits of constructive feedback to help refine and improve, for example using the measure or AR function of the phones for a pebble analysis would be a great addition. Also, I was unable to save longshore drift data, maybe a teething problem.
Overall, a great tool which will enthuse students to conduct independent fieldwork. Author deserves a medal! Well done!

Fantastic for geography teachers & students

Easy and simple to use. Great range of FW methods. Emails the results to you. Sent as a CVS file that can be used with ArcGIS
A wonderful app that will revolutionise our fieldwork.

A great new addition

Already used for trial data and it integrated effectively with arc. I had an issue with exporting data which Chris and the team helped with and now it's working brilliantly. Great stuff.

Mr McKay

Wonderful app for all the geography fieldwork you could imagine.

Amazing Idea

Such an amazing idea for an app - this will make geography fieldwork so much easier. This app will revolutionise fieldwork for schools, colleges and individuals and will reduce the use of old style booklets for fieldwork. Very easy to use, a massive range of fieldwork techniques and great explanations and graphics.
