### 2/5 — Frozen

*2015-01-05*

App looks to have potential, if you can figure out a way to stop it from freezing up!   I can be working on just about any page and hit a button and it freezes instantly. Frustrating to keep rebooting IPAD. Look forward to seeing an update with a fix.

### 4/5 — Screen freezing

*2014-12-16*

It's great when I'm not frozen in the middle of adding a line.  Love the features but tired of turning off my iPad to reload.

### 3/5 — Almost 4 stars

*2013-05-16*

I do enjoy this app, particuarly since I bought it to help us find a missing chunk of land that doesn't have a deed- but I would really prefer being able to open an email attachment- I don't always have time to go home and download an updated file from iTunes.  Dropbox interface would work too.  If I could access files more easily between my ipad and my computer, I would give it 4 stars.  I would also love to see a panning features that doesn't actually move the parcels, just the view.  The scale button is nice, but I can't see larger parcel groups.

### 3/5 — Almost worth 4Stars

*2013-03-14*

Don't give up on this app. It is a bit clunky, Nevertheless, the app does a decent job providing closure, acreage, etc. It might take several uses before you realize how powerful the app can be. 
I use this every day at work, verifying our documents.

   I would like to have the ability to edit an entered call (currently, an entry can only be deleted and re-entered). 
   Having the ability to enter the degrees on the left side of a decimal and then the minutes and seconds to the right of the decimal, in a single cell, would speed entering calls (currently, there is a window for each).
   If the developers can address the previous two issues, I'll give this app four stars. If they can find a way around Apple's lousy number pad and give me a 10-key, so that i don't have to consider whether I want to enter $, ?, or ! for a call, I'll give this app five stars.

### 1/5 — Plot boundary

*2013-01-27*

This app only draws boundaries. I hoped it would show my position relative to boundaries but no such luck. Still looking for an app that will allow me to walk boundaries with my iPad in hand to confirm my property plat. I have deleted it as only someone wanting to draw a boundary drawing would use this app.

### 1/5 — Metes and bounds

*2012-06-07*

Not worth the money can't do anything with it but draw an outline. Big deal. I thought I would be able to install where I had test holed digging on my property and set aside areas for habitat etc maybe dig a pond. 
Save your money use a crayon and paper and save your money!
Had to rate this minimum 1 star it isn't even that good.

### 3/5 — Metes and Bounds

*2012-04-12*

Really like program but would really like to be able to have lines on drawing numbered in relationship to the calls. Would also like to be able to edit a call on the fly rather than having do delete call then re-add the correction. Other than that I have really enjoyed using this program.

### 5/5 — Current version works

*2011-10-22*

The calls entry screen is sized wrong and will not accept calls. The PC version and the iPhone version both work well. I was expecting another quality product and was disappointed. Edit - the fix for IOS5 now makes this a working app.

Good, portable product that meets my needs admirably.

### 1/5 — App not compatible with ios 5

*2011-10-20*

I purchased this app prior to upgrade, to ios 5. It worked, however , you don't seem to be able to create drawing based on user coordinate values. 

Now after update to iOS 5 I am having same issue as previous poster.

Call window does not display all of the fields and you can't enter all of the data to make a call.

Needs to be fixed!

### 1/5 — Seriously?

*2011-10-18*

First layer, first call, and in the first 30 seconds I find the app completely unusable?  The 'add call' window is too small to display the fields required to create a call - no scrolling, no resize?!!!
My bad for paying $10 on something with no reviews.  
Please fix - I can see the potential, and I need this app!
