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.

Help

Will not open for some reason. I’ve had this problem for about 2 weeks. Anyone know why? This app is extremely helpful and would love to continue using it!

I liked it when it worked but now it crashes immediately when opened

I think the title says it all

Doesn’t work on iOS 14

Please update

Nice when it works

Currently crashing on opening, when it works it is a very nice little app that gives you soil data for where you are standing. The soilweb website is necessary if you want to look around thoug

Crashes

Not supported by iOS 14

Excellent Progression

First it was going to a dusty room in the office for soil info, then it was going online for the desktop only version. Now everything I need is on my phone, instant with GPS! Thought it had a map but that may be another app.

IOS 13.3 not supported

This was a wonderful app when it was supported. While my colleagues with Android devices are free to use it, iPhone support is non-existent, and the app is entirely non functional for updated Apple platforms.

Used to be a useful App

Doesn’t run on a new iPhone 8 running iOS13.2

A fine tool for discovering soil

Every natural resource scientist or civil engineer should have this app on their iPhone. All natural resources are dependent on the soil. This tool provides the soils information for where you are standing. The USA is the only country in the world with soils mapped border to border - with maps and a complete database. SoilWeb was developed by a brilliant PhD student that took advantage of that free database. Now, this tool puts the information about the ground below your feet into your hands. It is by far the easiest tool to use for accessing a very large and powerful database. One button search of the soils information is easy although finding the map is a puzzle. Download it and discover the amazing world beneath your feet.

Too basic

Needs a soil map like web soil survey. Pretty useless otherwise.

Dig it!

This is the premier soil inventory app! I use this regularly for my natural resources project work. Major thanks to the developers for creating such a useful and intuitive data delivery interface for USDA soil survey data.

Needs a update for iPhone users

Can’t use this app as Developer needs to update it for use w/ iOS 11.

Here’s where to find

You can download the KML file for google earth at California Soil Resource Lab

IOS 11 update

Could we please get an update on this app?

Need to update.

This is a nice app, but it won’t work on the iOS 11. Please update!
