I would recommend it to other gold prospectors without hesitation. 👍 ### 5/5 — The best on the market *2026-09-19* This app is simply the best for features. Ease of use, updates automatically, differentiates between travelling and detecting. I have used the others and none compare to this. If you’re going to get serious, get Patchly. ### 5/5 — Saves me time…makes me happy! *2026-09-11* Patchly is reliable, easy to use, fun and saves me time (something I really value). The user interface is fresh, clean and intuitive. Importing my old finds/tracks from my other apps was a smooth and easy process and it’s awesome to now have all my prospecting history in the one location. There are so many cool features. I’m particularly loving the gold finds categorisation toggle buttons eg for size, type, condition. This is time saving to be able to quickly select what type and size of nugget it is (eg saves me from manually typing those details in myself)… meaning I can record my find and get back to detecting asap. This will be the only app I’ll be using from now on. Highly recommend. ### 5/5 — Game changer for the prospecting community *2026-09-10* Patchly is so much better than the other app's I've tried, including Detector Maps. It's so easy to use, right from the get go. It records everything the way I want it recorded. And the import feature to import my tracks/finds from other apps worked really well. There's so many helpful features; for example, you can choose which detector you're using when you're recording a track. Which means when you look back at it in a year's time, you know exactly which areas you've done with which detector. It's also got far more features (than other apps) which are relevant to gold prospecting (rather than having redundant features that just get in the way). You can tell it's been developed by a prospector, who knows what a prospector needs and doesn't need. I prefer Patchly over the other apps by far. ### 5/5 — Excellent Gold Prospecting App *2026-09-09* An excellent new app! I’m finding it really easy to use and loving all the customisable options, especially the maps, track colours and pin selections. It’s also really cool being able to distinguish between travelling, detecting and stopped with different colours. The 3D terrain view is another very handy feature, especially for understanding the ground and planning where to explore. ### 5/5 — A cut above the rest! *2026-09-09* After a few weeks of using this app I am more than impressed. Easy to use, straight forward, yet complex app that is completely customizable. So many small and thoughtful ideas and tools in one app, it’s a game changer. Will not be using anything else! ### 5/5 — User focus *2026-09-09* I have spoken to Kevin the creator. Kevin is so different to every other prospecting app developer as he is so keen to develop an app for the people not the developer. Kevin was not fully satisfied with other apps so he decided to produce one that better suited his needs with the intent to satisfy others. It is in its early stages so bare with him. If there is anything you wish to see implemented let him know. LiDAR is available for some states with it available for other states on the way. Everyone should get on board considering the amazing cost. ### 5/5 — Awesome App 10/10 *2026-09-06* Absolutely awesome App. Shows the 100metre mark around leases. The 3D feature is great, the headlights on the circle which shows your tracking shows your direction. Love the way all same tracks merge into one. And the tracking is a white line so very clear to see where you are going, and then you can change tracking colours on your detectors depending which one you use. It also shows all the main gullies. Highly recommend I could keep writing for ages about all the great features. 10/10 ### 5/5 — Best app for prospectors! *2026-09-02* Great app, super intuitive and easy to follow. Some great features and to be honest, blows its competition out of the water! Easy to follow steps to bring all your tracks and marks over from trilobite or detector maps. Can’t fault this app so far! ### 5/5 — Easy to Use & Great for Research *2026-09-02* I am currently using Patchly while prospecting at Palmerville Station. It was very easy to import all my Trilobite data and I no longer have to deal with data loading lags or track glitches. I also like the host of pre-loaded research features in the Palmer bundle, makes it easier to plan my sessions. I now run the tracking from when I start driving to when I return back to camp, and really like how it automatically codes driving/detecting/walking/stopped in the log. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
