Went to 4 locations. 1 was a cornfield, a construction site in a cornfield and 2 private residences. Never even got out of my truck **Developer response:** Hi we have pushed some huge nationwide updates and added a bunch of team members on our development and research team to clean up some of the coordinates. Would love for you to check it out! ### 1/5 — Server error. Useless *2026-06-24* SCAM app! Makes you pay subscribe to use it then will not allow login or account setup. Just keep getting server error. Absolute scam! Now I have to take all the screenshots and file to have my bank reverse the charge. **Developer response:** Hi! Please try logging in to the app again. It is functioning perfectly! You can text us at any time as well and we are happy to help! ### 1/5 — Non functioning *2026-06-24* I purchased the app and went to use it. It won’t let me login due to internal server error. That money got flushed down the toilet unfortunately. **Developer response:** Hello, this minor error has been resolved. This was a minor error but was immediately fixed so you are good to go now! You can text us anytime on our support! ### 1/5 — “Free” = $10 for any app functionality *2026-06-23* Would love to see at least a free version as your app is free to download… **Developer response:** Hello! We will keep you updated if any other subscriptions are released! We are always making sure we help the community as much as possible. Our current premium subscription helps support our large development and research team that makes this app as great as possible. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2026-06-22* The app doesn’t work. The list of mines it provided doesn’t allow me to select them. I researched the mines it showed and they are not mines. They are various construction type businesses. Deleting it now. **Developer response:** Hello! I would love for you to check out our large agate update! If you have any questions about our product you can email ben@joinvaluehive.com. ### 1/5 — Scammy *2026-06-19* The waypoints seem like they are just thrown on the map to make it look like there are plenty of options. The details are horrible. Hidden behind a paywall so you have to pay 10 dollars to find out it’s junk. **Developer response:** Hello! We have over 250,000 sites on our app. With premium you are able to view all the spots! If you have any questions we're happy to help out. ### 1/5 — Unusable app *2026-06-16, version 1.06* Can’t access without paying $10 a month. It is setup like a public records information release app, where you have to pay to access info. Just look on YouTube for places to go hunt at or on google. ### 1/5 — Scam. *2026-06-12* As I informed the very arrogant man on the other end of the phone texting from the “support” number: Not having a "use my location" feature is a big negative and immediately out-dates the application. The information provided at each location is minimal to nonexistent. I can get the same locations with a quick google search with the same minimal information in seconds. There should have been a "free trial" period or at least a preview of what the interface looks like once purchased, however I gave it the benefit of the doubt. $10/month is an outrageous price for this app. The only way they refund through their “refund guarantee” is by providing your paypal information, which screams “scam” to me. Do not recommend. Don’t waste your $10. ### 1/5 — Locked behind a paywall *2026-06-09* 10 dollars a month before you can even do anything in the app. **Developer response:** Yes, we have a subscription to view all of our premium features. We have over 250,000 sites on our app. We also have a dedicated research team that is there to find lowkey and valuable spots. You are always welcome to use whatever you like. Our spots are carefully curated by a large team, and we are making the app as great as possible! ### 1/5 — Could be a good but…… *2026-06-06* I love how the app says we didn’t make this app to bill you, but you can’t even use the app unless you are billed is ridiculous. I don’t care about a free trial I don’t like free trials. I’m just sick of every app having to be a subscription Yeah some people might say $10 a month isn’t a lot and it’s not to be honest. I just don’t wanna pay for the app just make the entire app free and give the option to donate……… **Developer response:** Hello we will update if we release more subscriptions. We are wanting to support the community as much as possible so stay tuned! Happy to help with any other questions you have by emailing ben@joinvaluehive.com. ### 1/5 — Lame *2026-06-06, version 1.04* Not helpful. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Insane *2026-07-28, version 1.1.3* These mfers want 10$ a month lol ### 1/5 — $10 a month without a free trial *2026-07-27* Why would I pay $10 a month for this app when AI can do essentially the same thing for free? There isn’t even a free trial, so I’m expected to pay $10 just to find out whether I like the app or if it’s even worth using? Seriously? **Developer response:** Hi! We plan on launching some more offers shortly. We appreciate your feedback and we are always implementing updates to give the best experience possible! ### 1/5 — No access without payment *2026-07-22* A bit of a bait and switch, the app is useless unless you pay for a subscription **Developer response:** Hi! We plan on launching some more offers shortly. We appreciate your feedback and we are always implementing updates to give the best experience possible! ### 1/5 — Outrageous *2026-07-21* $10 a month. It’s just way too much when you can’t even access it to figure out if it’s worth the money. Where give it better stars if I could at least check it out. **Developer response:** Hi! We plan on launching some more offers shortly. We appreciate your feedback and we are always implementing updates to give the best experience possible! ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-07-20* It’s a scam that basically wants to get 10$ from as many people as it can with offering google search level results. **Developer response:** Hi! We plan on launching some more offers shortly. We appreciate your feedback and we are always implementing updates to give the best experience possible! ### 1/5 — Have to pay *2026-07-20, version 1.1.3* You have to pay to use the app. I wouldn’t mind if it was like a one time fee but it’s a subscription. Sucks that I’ll never know how the app works because I was very interested until it was shoving down to a subscription down my throat. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-07-18* Download the app. After entering my preferences it gives me a list but then the app just locks up. **Developer response:** Hi! Here to help no worries. Please let us know if you have any product or experience related questions. You can contact us on our email at any time! ### 1/5 — Locked behind a paywall *2026-07-04* I can’t make an assessment if the app is going to be valuable to me without dropping money on your subscription. Free trials are easy to implement in the App Store - give me a week free to evaluate. **Developer response:** Hi! We plan on launching some more offers shortly. We appreciate your feedback and we are always implementing updates to give the best experience possible! ### 1/5 — Not free. No trial. *2026-07-02* Why would I pay $10 up front when I don’t know if this app works or provides good information? Give me a free trial or some free features, and then if I want to unlock premium features I will pay. **Developer response:** Hi! We plan on launching some more offers shortly. We appreciate your feedback and we are always implementing updates to give the best experience possible! ### 1/5 — Behind pay wall *2026-06-29* App does not function unless you sign up for subscription. **Developer response:** Hi! We plan on launching some more offers shortly. We appreciate your feedback and we are always implementing updates to give the best experience possible! ## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — toteover *2026-07-18, version 1.1.3* Codyman1016 ### 5/5 — Yea sooo *2026-06-26* Thank you for fixing the issue. Much better lol. I just wanted to use it so bad **Developer response:** Hello, this minor error has been resolved.

You can text us anytime on our support as well and we are happy to help. ### 4/5 — Actually Cool—If You Pay *2026-07-09* This app actually has a ton of spots, along with photos and information about each one so you know what you can find there. It also tells you whether a location is private or public and if there’s a fee (like at a mine). I ended up paying the $27/year subscription. The other reviews are accurate—I’m not sure how much you can do during the free trial, and I didn’t exactly get that option. I just clicked subscribe and it was automatically charged without the trial. Personally, I think it’d be better if they charged something like a one-time $5 fee, or even $27 for lifetime access. I think more people would be willing to buy it that way. That said, it’s a really cool app with way more content than I expected. It separates popular spots from all spots, includes photos, and even labels some finds as “Rare” or “Very Rare.” There’s also an option to do a 10–20 minute feedback phone call about the app. I haven’t tried it yet, but it sounds like it would reduce the yearly subscription to only $7—at least, for a single year. I was honestly impressed. For example, I live in San Diego County, and the app shows 45 popular spots plus 817 total spots. A lot of these aren’t places you’d find on Yelp because they’re not businesses—they’re just interesting locations. That’s pretty awesome to me! **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback. Our team added an extensive amount to California recently, and I'm so glad you're loving it. We are always here to improve too. Please don't hesitate to reach out to our text line. We're working all the time to make this the best rockhounding resource possible. ### 2/5 — Too expensive, disappointing. *2026-07-18* Not enough value in paying $10/month if you don’t plan on going atleast a few times a month. What would I even be paying for if I didn’t go that month? I’d rather pay per search, than have a monthly bill for a service I may or may not use. Hope they fix the price bc the app is actually a great idea! **Developer response:** Hi! We plan on launching some more offers shortly.
