Needs an update - stopped working
The app crashes as soon as it is launched. Tried removing the app an downloading it again, but as soon as I added files it crashed again. Has been a great app until now, however for the amount of money it cost I expected better customer support. I’ll happily give a five star review if the app actually works.

Not working anymore waste of money want my money back
Had the GIS for a few years now not working anymore just comes up in America I'm in Australia doesn't even locate when I hit the button. Can't even contact the app people. Waste of money and I want my money back.
Hmm not impressed
Bugs bugs bugs. Won’t take photos, won’t show satellite maps, tracks super slow, won’t allow map to rotate to show direction. I’ve deleted and reinstalled but still same issues

By far, the best mobile GIS!
I have been using this app since 2013. It was my first mobile GIS app. Over time, I venture onto the other side of fence with virtually every other available mobile GIS app. Here’s what’s unique about GIS Kit:
• Caches ortho-photo maps with a great number of choices
• Allows easy customization for a particular project
• You can have a number of projects, each remaining uniquely separate
• Very reasonable cost, nothing’s hidden; you get the base program with all the bells and whistles for under $100
• I have not found an app anywhere, but here, that EXPORTS Shape files! (Pro version) Well worth the extra $$ if you need that functionality.
Although there was a lag in updating this app and it tended to crash (frustrating), it was STILL worth the hassle! Not the team is back to raising the bar. They recently stabilized the crashing issue and are working on a major upgrade.
Hands down, this is the best mobile GIS app available.

Good app
It crashed a couple of times when adding layer data.
Found that if I switched off all but 1 layer I could keep adding new ones. Last project had 25 individual Track log layers on the same master project.
Added waypoints with photos and exported it all to Google Earth KMZ. Worked a treat.

Scam
This program is a scam, shuts down when u try and change back ground and no way to contact tech support for help or problem solving, stay away!
Could be Better
This App has its issues and could be much better. The best GIS App on the market is WolfGIS. Used it for 3 years with no issues.
My go-to GIS app for several years now. Switched from wolfgis and never looked back
Worth every penny. No subscription fees. Switched to this from wolfgis pro a long time ago and I'm never going back. I can't understand what everybody's problem is with this app. It's been my go to GIS app for over three years now and I haven't found anything comparable.
Occasional issues
It is a super powerful app with tons of great features. Sadly it crashes from time to time. I find that if I close everything else it runs just fine 99.9% of the time. I do hope for further updates for the semi-pro GIS app. I use it regularly and would likely be lost without it.
Was my all time fav app
Hey this app was my all time favourite field data collection app but keeps crashing now. When are you guys going to fix the stability issue? It has been a problem for over a year. Bummer man! Where is the support? Don't let this great app digress into obscurity!
I'm done with this app
I give up. It's been the better part of 2 years since GIS Kit worked. I told the company all the things that were wrong....they told me to contact Apple directly for a refund. Take our money and run, huh? I don't even think the company Garafa exists anymore to be honest. I have tried to look them up and call, number disconnected. Whatever, I use Collector now.

Good app, need to fix connection and crashing issues
Good app, but keeps crashing and maps won't load. Satellite imagery does not download either
Love iGIS. Don't love crashes.
Crashes, consistently in line features when using Record to GPS.
I have many small issues with this program but crashing and losing precious data on a day to day basis is costing my company money and my mapping technicians are losing faith in this program.
We upgraded to pro but I can't leave a comment there since it was an in app purchase, So I will leave this here.
We are consistently losing data and we need to redo line features often , which is quite difficult in some of the terrain I map in.
This is the most expensive app we use and it is the one with the least customer support.
There is no crash reporting , if there was I am sure this problem would be addressed.
Please fix.

A little help please
Do not buy this app!!!!
Used to be a good app but after the last update it doesn't work anymore. Support refuses to answer emails. No contact at all. Total waste of 100 bucks. I almost bought to pro version. Glad I didn't.

Was great; but no longer so
Sad to see a really capable app getting sorely neglected. Not what I expect for the price I paid for this app. No serious update in a very long time. Not optimised for iPhone 6 plus. Constantly crashes. Unless you see the app being updated and maintained actively, please do not buy.
Finally an ArcGIS replacement!
Replaces the bulk of features offered by ArcPad and other professional GIS data capturing software; only, you don't have to go to university for 5 years to know how to use it! It is as intuitive as Apple products themselves.
ArcGIS is a dinosaur; offering an alternative to their crap is Heaven sent! I love the export options too. My only complaint there is that you can't export all your shapes at once.
I don't know what the heck that winer critic is going on about; I paid $400 for the Pro version and, over the past 2 years, I have made my money back from it almost a thousand times over..., I guess this software just doesn't meet his 'specific' needs.
Thank God, professional grade GIS products like lasers and GPS receivers are finally being made to work with iOS! I used to use sub-metre stuff all the time, but I found that most of the users I supervised, were pathetic at achieving sub-metre accuracy regardless of the equipment capabilities. So using the primary method of coordinate capture that this offers (positioning the screen as per imagery background), combined with laser trigonometry, works much better. And of course, you still have the traditional GPS capturing methods with this software too.
Good stuff Garaffa

Does not build a consistent track
I have been out hiking a conservation boundary line earlier today with a partner and when I returned back to my desk, I found the app did not build a solid track across our hike. The really odd thing was a sister app, GPS Kit HD, was able to accurately build a solid track but not this version. Bummer, one of the biggest things I need beyond importing/exporting was the ability to keep a good accurate track. I'll update the review in the future if they improve the app but right now it isn't functioning the way it should.

Worth every penny
I probably spent $100 on $2-$5 apps trying to find one that worked well with shape files and offline satellite images. All the other apps were lacking in one way or another.
This app has worked flawlessly and is very stable. If you compare the price to an ArcMap license, it is a steal of a deal.
I finally have access to offline maps in the field with all my critical shapefiles from the office..... On an iPhone 4s.

Don't buy this App
I used to use this app alot. The latest updates have killed the functionality. The app crashed unexpectedly all the time. I am in the field with no service frequently and I purchased to use for importing kml and kmz files from Google Earth. The program allows use of Google and Bing aerial imagery, which is fantastic, and it caches this data for when you are in the field with no service - again, fantastic for me. This used to be a very solid app and I would have given 5 stars prior to the latest update, but now it is junk. Please fix it.
