Awesome

To be honest, the mineral encyclopedia alone makes the app worthwhile. Well worth a pricetag that’s less than that of virtually any likeminded physical text. But there is truly so much more. You are essentially purchasing an entire academic learning experience in several fields of Earth science. Very surprised and happy to finally find an app like this. As an aside, I would love to have an addition or a separate app that focuses on gemology/lapidary to the degree that this app focuses on mineralogy—though I appreciate that the creators are primarily mineral focused.

Thank you! We’re really glad you’re finding the app useful, and we really appreciate the kind words about the detail and design.

Must Have!

I have to say this app is a must have for old and new collectors alike. It does more then just help you identify your minerals, it teaches, it quizzes, it helps you keep track of your minerals, so much information in a nice package! I have been a collector for over 30 years and I am over the moon excited about this app, even if you think you know everything I am sure there is something in here you can learn. It’s worth more then what the cost is, a lot of time and effort went in to creating this app and it really shows!! Thank you for putting something out there that is correct and on point.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We're delighted you're enjoying the app, and it's especially rewarding to hear such positive feedback from an experienced collector. We really appreciate your support and look forward to bringing you many more updates.

Great App

Really a very great app for mineral afficionados (not for the spiritual ones). There are plenty of useful, relevant and hard scientific information and other very good functions.
Surely there are possibilities for enhancememt. The app programmers have already promised new functions and content within updates. Because of their renown in the mineral scene it is absolutely believable.
One warning! There is no and there will never be a mineral determination scanning function in this app. This is totally OK.
PS
The quizzes are really fun. I like them.
