Needs work. ### 3/5 — Worked great until it didn’t *2020-10-30, version 2.1* 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. ### 3/5 — Nice when it works *2020-10-03, version 2.1* 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 ### 2/5 — Used to be a useful App *2019-11-30, version 2.0* Doesn’t run on a new iPhone 8 running iOS13.2 ### 2/5 — Too basic *2019-07-01, version 2.0* Needs a soil map like web soil survey. Pretty useless otherwise. ### 3/5 — IOS 11 update *2019-02-07, version 1.2* Could we please get an update on this app? ### 3/5 — No longer works. *2018-05-21, version 1.2* This app has been extremely helpful to me when completing archeology site forms, but since updating my i-phone, it no longer works! Any planned solution? ### 4/5 — Please update for iOS 11?? *2018-05-14, version 1.2* I love this app, and it would sure make the field season a lot easier if I could still use it on my iPhone. ### 3/5 — Not compatible w/ iPhone IOS *2018-03-20, version 1.2* Is there any planned update to make the app compatible w/ the new iOS? That would be great! ### 1/5 — iOS *2018-02-15, version 1.2* Does not function with iOS 11 ### 4/5 — Usability *2018-02-01, version 1.2* When will this software be updated where people with os 11 on their iPhone can use this tool again? I used this app almost on a daily basis! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Open *2020-10-19, version 2.1* 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. ### 1/5 — I liked it when it worked but now it crashes immediately when opened *2020-10-11, version 2.1* I think the title says it all ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on iOS 14 *2020-10-05, version 2.1* Please update ### 1/5 — Crashes *2020-09-18, version 2.1* Not supported by iOS 14 ### 1/5 — IOS 13.3 not supported *2019-12-21, version 2.0* 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. ### 1/5 — Needs a update for iPhone users *2019-04-04, version 1.2* Can’t use this app as Developer needs to update it for use w/ iOS 11. ### 1/5 — Need to update. *2019-01-25, version 1.2* This is a nice app, but it won’t work on the iOS 11. Please update! ### 1/5 — Out of date *2018-12-15, version 1.2* I don’t get why have take so long to update this apps. It was a great tool, now obsolete. ### 1/5 — Too bad it’s not updated *2018-10-30, version 1.2* A terrific product and very easy to use and to locate your soil series. But why not renew it despite apple upgrades? ### 1/5 — PLEASE Update!!! *2018-10-18, version 1.2* Please update this app! Found it through my local NRCS folks and loved it (5 star level) before I updated my iphone but now it is absolutely useless! I want my Soil Web app back, please!!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Nice work *2023-07-16, version 2.3* 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. ### 5/5 — Change Soil Series Font Color *2023-06-08, version 2.3* 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. ### 5/5 — Help *2020-10-13, version 2.1* 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! ### 5/5 — Excellent Progression *2020-02-21, version 2.0* 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. ### 5/5 — A fine tool for discovering soil *2019-11-23, version 2.0* 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. ### 5/5 — Dig it! *2019-06-27, version 2.0* 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. ### 5/5 — Here’s where to find *2019-02-25, version 1.2* You can download the KML file for google earth at California Soil Resource Lab ### 5/5 — Please update *2019-01-23, version 1.2* As an archaeologist, I used this app constantly and would love have it available again. ### 5/5 — Please update *2018-06-20, version 1.2* Love this app! Please update for iOS users ### 5/5 — When will you update???? *2018-01-27, version 1.2* I work in natural resources developing ESD’s and used the websoil app all the time. It’s was an exceptionally useful tool. Unfortunately the last iso update on my iPhone is no longer compatible with websoil. When will it be updated to a compatible version. The loss of your app is very unfortunate. Who can I contact to urge continuing support for this soil app. Sincerely Rick Peterson. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
