User reviews

My favorite app ever

At first I was curious to see if the map was accurate, to my surprise every location has been a hit!!! Even worth the premium version

Don’t get.

I can’t delete it for some reason no mater what I do and you have to pay to do anything, I’m very disappointed with this app don’t get it.

Not free

I downloaded it because it said it was free but it only had a free trial it’s a great app if you’re willing to pay

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you like the app. We’re sorry for the confusion, the app includes a free trial so users can try all features before deciding to subscribe. We appreciate you giving it a try.

Everything is behind a paywall

I downloaded this app from Tik Tok, which suggested that I would be able to find cool rocks, gems, and minerals around my location. Upon downloading, and after creating an account, you are immediately brought to the option to subscribe monthly or weekly. I didn’t subscribe, because every app hides everything worth anything behind a paywall. Would you like to see the map? Sure! But you want to filter your results? You have to pay a subscription! Nope! No thank you! At this rate, I’d much rather just go to the creek bed outside and see what I can find there on a warm day and a good manual!

Response from developer

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. We understand subscriptions aren’t for everyone. The app does offer free access to explore the map and see nearby locations, while advanced filters and detailed data are part of the paid plan. We’ve already expanded the free features recently, but building and maintaining accurate rock, mineral, and location data takes real time and resources. The subscription helps support that work. Totally fair if you prefer heading to the creek with a manual, that’s rockhounding at its best. The app is there as an optional tool for people who want deeper info and planning support.

Pay to do anything

Can’t really do anything on the app without paying a subscription. I was excited to see a map of locations in my area and unfortunately, with the free version, the locations won’t tell you any rocks that you can find there. Makes it useless. Frustrating that everything needs a subscription service these days.

Response from developer

Thanks for sharing your experience, I understand how that can feel frustrating. The free version is intended to let you explore the map and see what’s nearby, while more detailed information is part of the subscription. We’ve recently expanded what’s available for free, but maintaining accurate and useful data across many locations takes ongoing effort. The subscription helps support that work. Totally fair if it’s not the right fit for you. We appreciate you trying the app and taking the time to leave feedback.
