User reviews

Great app for modern field work!

This app has made my data collection in the field easier and certainly more organized!My photos, notes, gps points, and measurements are all in one place at the end of the day! There is a lot of functionality I still need to try out but it’s been great so far and I have enjoyed showing my students that they can collect geologic data on their phones without the need of specialized compasses or equipment!

not for mobile

I guess it will be fine on a tablet but on my iphone is useless

Bring back the original!

Functionality tanked all around and so many bugs I don’t have time to detail them. I miss the original version, this version is almost unusable in the same ways.

Sketches cause crash

On iOS 16 the app crashes when trying to insert a sketch. Same thing happens when trying to draw on a photo
