## Most critical reviews (8 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Simply Awful

*2022-05-23, version 3.2*

Don't buy!

### 1/5 — Clumsy, useless, waste of money, will delete

*2015-03-02, version 2.1*

Unpolished user interface could be greatly improved with some graphic display of data/computation.

Cannot imagine fewer functions for the money.

This is clearly the work of a beginner, truly an amateur with no real survey experience.

### 1/5 — Too basic to bother

*2014-09-12*

The potential is huge. But it needs more than a basic calculator function. And could do so much !!!  Waste of time.

### 1/5 — Surveyor Calculator

*2013-03-04*

A very basic app, not worth the money

### 2/5 — Useful but needs at least one improved area

*2015-08-20*

I purchased this app mainly for the vertical curve calculator since it would be an easy one to use as my phone is always on me. The downside is that you can't input a negative grade because only the number keypad pops up. There's a copy/paste in a full keyboard app workaround if you have negative% but annoying. 

The other option that would be nice would be the ability to input station increments instead of having to key in each sta and then have to push calculate. It's a lot of extra keystrokes for a touchscreen and as it stands, I'll be using my programmed HP calculator and not recommending this.  These options only make necessary sense, if possible to execute in this app.

### 3/5 — Surveying app

*2013-03-19*

Finally an app for our phones. This is a good start but hopefully will be updated soon to be a better tool for what it was designed for

### 3/5 — Things this app needs:

*2012-09-07*

Azimuth&Bearinf computations and conversions

Gunter's chain conversion

First order, second order, third order, and class 1,2 classification chart

Editable,save-able, mailable Leveling field notes

Latitude&departure calculator

Error of Latitude&departure calculator.

### 5/5 — Good

*2020-02-25*

Great app
