## Most critical reviews (8 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Can’t import your own maps into it

*2025-09-13*

Please make this app useful by making it more like the desktop program where you can make your own maps.

### 1/5 — Was expecting something else

*2025-08-27*

Was expecting this to be like the pc app, as I don’t have a pc right now. Unfortunately this isn’t the same thing. Very disappointed.

### 2/5 — Can’t go past 250

*2025-01-22*

Whenever I set it to like 350 it goes to 0 or either just doesn’t work I was expecting it to work better than that

### 3/5 — Stoopyyd

*2024-06-16, version 1.0.0*

Bruh lags

### 3/5 — It’s alright

*2023-09-09*

I got this app to try to worldbuild, i’m making a bunch of languages, and I’m building a world to go with them, to make it more realistic. I was hoping for the PC version, but on an iPhone, but this could be good for just toying around. Might use it later, might not.

### 4/5 — Not at all what I was looking for, but it’s fine

*2023-08-07*

Was looking for something more like the desktop gplates and thought it would be just like that but it totally isn’t. Can’t add own maps or anything like that.

Alright app for looking at tectonic plates tho

### 5/5 — Possibly the best geology app

*2025-07-10, version 1.0.0*

Gplates is an awesome academic project providing the best possible plate tectonic reconstructions, freely, to anyone. This app bundles an immense amount of the content into a simple user-friendly package. Every geologist should have a copy.

### 5/5 — Hello

*2024-05-24, version 1.0.0*
