Not great

I’m very familiar with the rockhounding areas around me and the info on this was definitely scraped from data available from the DNR, with a lot of inaccuracies including calling a mine a completely different name. Not worth it.

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback. What you saw are historic spots: old mine and locality records we include for research and reference, not verified active collecting sites. Names in those old records often differ from what locals call a place today. We recently added a "Historic" tag on these spots to make the difference clearer, so it may be worth another look. And if you send us the mine with the wrong name, we'll gladly correct it.

Horrible

Downloaded and deleted three times. Froze up the first two times on the logo screen. Third time it let me zoom in to where it says I would be searching then froze up.

Useful even in places I know well

Downloaded the app a few weeks ago. The second location I checked out turned into one of my best days of collecting this year. Ended up finding agate that’s now sitting on my display shelf. Could have been luck but the app definitely pointed me in the right direction.

Scam App

There are zero locations listed, it’s just a blank map

Response from developer

The app is not a scam. It includes thousands of real, hand-verified rockhounding locations across the US, and they're visible on the map from first launch. A blank map means the map data failed to load on your device, which usually comes down to a network issue the first time the app opens. Force-close the app and reopen it on wifi, or delete and reinstall, and the locations will appear. If it still shows nothing after that, email us at support@rockhoundr.com with your iPhone model and iOS version and we'll get it working.

The product froze. Doesn’t work at all.

Sorry about that, freezing is not normal and we want to fix it. Could you email support@rockhoundr.com with your iPhone model, iOS version, and what you were doing when it froze (opening the map, tapping a spot, etc.)? In the meantime, updating to the latest version and restarting the app resolves this for most people.

Way better than competition

Love the informative details and lat long to specific locations to search for rocks etc

Doesn't even work anymore

This is no longer functional. Won't work on iPhone.

Response from developer

Sorry you hit this. We released an update recently that fixes a startup issue some iPhone users were seeing, so please update to the latest version from the App Store, or delete and reinstall if the problem continues. If it still will not open after that, email support@rockhoundr.com and we will get you sorted.

Finally app that gets it

Been rockhounding for about 6 years now, mostly in Arizona and New Mexico. Tried a bunch of apps before this one. This app just works, clean, fast, no weird stuff.
