### 3/5 — Resources are getting dated

*2022-09-22, version 1.2.4*

I suppose rocks don’t change however that’s not the case with solar, wind and hydro. Data from 2014 is pretty useless in 2022.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — No good

*2025-07-01, version 1.2.4*

Takes a while to load maps and can’t zoom in. Low quality app

### 1/5 — Good idea poor execution

*2024-04-11, version 1.2.4*

Still can’t zoom in on the app

### 1/5 — Use of NSW geology app no longer works

*2022-02-15, version 1.2.4*

Used to be great but latest version drops out when you zoom it Sad it used to be great now almost worthless Please pretty please fix it 
Thanks John Lawrie

### 1/5 — Zoom feature

*2020-08-14, version 1.2.4*

Terrible

### 1/5 — Zoom?

*2020-07-31, version 1.2.4*

This looks to be a great application that I could get a lot of use from, but with no zoom on IOS it is just a picture of NSW. ☹️

### 1/5 — Zoom

*2020-06-22, version 1.2.4*

This was a really useful app when doing fieldwork but it now blanks out when you zoom in. Please please fix!

### 1/5 — Map won’t load

*2020-04-26*

I “successfully” downloaded it a few times, but still could not see the map.

### 1/5 — Buggy

*2019-11-04, version 1.2.4*

Good idea. However once you zoom into around 100k scale all the information disappears? Even after downloading the maps. Probably a few bugs to fix, didn’t do this on older versions however.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2017-12-14, version 1.2.3*

No way of finding out what the letters mean in different regions. What the rocks actually are or basically anything. As someone who wanted to get into basic geology and keen to learn about my region it’s completely useless. It’s basically a picture of the state of NSW that looks like a pre school art work that has random letters??? It’s not even a map.

### 2/5 — Fix it

*2024-05-23, version 1.2.4*

Could someone please fix this app? It’s soo close to being great but the broken zoom and out of date maps make it useless..

### 5/5 — Great until now.

*2019-10-05, version 1.2.4*

Absolutely loved this app, very handy reference, but has ceased functioning for me since iOS13. Not the app’s fault, I’ve had so many issue with iOS13.

### 5/5 — Just amazing

*2018-10-11, version 1.2.3*

I would take this app out to dinner, buy it a few drinks, have a nice meal, take it back to my place and... just cuddle a little. Show it how much it means to me and how much it has helped me through my degree

### 5/5 — Great geology map.

*2018-04-09, version 1.2.3*

Fantastic geological map of NSW, I have found this app very useful while in the field as I complete my geology studies at UOW

### 5/5 — Geolove-gy

*2017-05-14, version 1.2.3*

Love this app helps you a lot!!!! Oxoxoxix

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2017-05-08, version 1.2.3*

Love this app. Use it in the field all the time and it never fails me.

### 5/5 — Greeny

*2015-07-09, version 1.2.3*

Well done Dave- great app!

### 4/5 — Cannot zoom in.

*2020-07-20, version 1.2.4*

This is a great app, but the latest version will not allow me to zoom in to a location.

### 4/5 — Great but some suggestions

*2020-07-07, version 1.2.4*

Great app for use on fieldwork. Version update seems to have bug causing maps to disappear when zoomed in. Also would be good to have a scale bar and link location icon to phone compass so you can gauge a rough bearing to the outcrop. This would be similar to googles little shaded area around the icon.

### 4/5 — Where has the zoom gone

*2020-06-22, version 1.2.4*

Great app.... but what’s happened to the zooming in? Sort of useless now (in my line of work) without the ability to pin point exactly where you are.
Please fix

### 4/5 — Nsw geology

*2019-10-09, version 1.2.4*

Great app but latest update doesn’t allow you to zoom in very far  when using mobile - not as you can when using the seamless version on computer - even when maps downloaded.  Possibly a big to be fixed for next version
