User reviews

Nice work

Incredible app! Go soil science. Future update should allow the “view map” feature as in the desktop version. This is essential to see nearby soil types rather than just those under your current location.

Change Soil Series Font Color

Have loved this app for years; so grateful to have it. Would like to see the soil series name in a font color other than white; very difficult to read outdoors.

Gave soil for wrong area

The map has the correct gps coordinates, however the software gave us a physical location and soil data for an area 4 miles east of the gps location. Needs work.

Worked great until it didn’t

I used this app daily for my work. Then suddenly one day it wouldn’t load then it wouldn’t even open. I deleted it. Downloaded it. Emailed the developer who didn’t know anything was wrong. So now for about 3 to 4 months it doesn’t work.

Doesn’t Open

Downloaded, wouldn’t open. Keeps crashing. Reading other comments seems like this has been happening for a while. Leads me to believe there’s no support. I’ll stick with other resources.
