I now have an app that won’t stay open, don’t upgrade the app it must have a virus ### 2/5 — ⭐️⭐️ *2019-09-27, version 1.5.29* Very Basic App for what you pay for. Save your $$$ and buy an app that does everything you will need instead. Very disappointed I blew $50 on this... ### 1/5 — Needs a update *2018-12-22, version 1.5.29* I’ve just downloaded this and she only lasts 2 minutes with out crashing ,,how about doing a update since it’s been 6 months ,r have you given up in the app ### 1/5 — Maps very old. Have to pay again for iPad Version *2018-07-21, version 1.5.24* Maps have very limited data and are very old. No place names, etc. Went to download for the iPad as well but apparently the dev wants you to pay for that again. The first time I’ve ever seen that in an app. Especially one costing this much. Update: The dev replied that I should look at Facebook reviews for an idea of what to expect. Facebook reviews are useless as the page holder can delete any negative comments etc. I will say I have finally been able to load onto my iPads without issue. My original comments on the app remain. It is very clunky, very slow and a resource hog leading to a significant battery drain. This app has potential but the dev needs to take the negative feedback on board as an opportunity to improve rather than attempting to defend something that really isn’t polished. The app sorely needs better maps. The code needs streamlining. Perhaps add the ability to select a specific area within which to load temaments rather than loading every tenament in the in state. For what you pay, the app should be one of the sexiest, most streamlined, quick and efficient apps on the market. The reality is unfortunately exactly the opposite. However, the dev has clearly cornered a niche where there are few other options unless you’re willing to invest a significant amount of time downloading and converting data between various platforms. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2024-06-21, version 1.6.43* Does nothing before crashing, wouldn’t waste my money on it again, the contact email doesn’t even exist ### 1/5 — App keeps crashing *2022-11-06, version 1.6.38* Every time I try to load it or open tracking anything it just crashes can you either fix it or refund me please ### 1/5 — App keeps crashing *2022-09-26, version 1.6.38* This is a great app when its working but for the last week every time I try to use the app it starts to load then before it’s loaded it turns itself off and returns to home screen. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled the app but it makes no difference. Can you offer any suggestions ### 1/5 — App keeps shutting down *2022-09-11, version 1.6.38* The app keeps shutting down every time. It has become unusable after recent updates. Very disappointed. ### 1/5 — SCAM *2022-09-08, version 1.6.38* WON'T UPDATE ! WON'T RUN ! PATHETIC WASTE OF MONEY UTTERLY USELESS LIKE ALBANESE ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2022-08-08, version 1.6.38* This app is an expensive lesson to. Keeps shutting down,anyway we can get our money back ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2022-07-21, version 1.6.38* App no longer works, there is a lot better apps out there. ### 1/5 — Not working at all *2022-07-16, version 1.6.38* Opens up then crashes ever since the update are you working on a fix for this if so how long .??? Gary ### 1/5 — Graham *2022-07-10, version 1.6.38* I have to agree with the most recent reviews re the changes to the wa mines department updates as mine does exactly the same opens then shuts down You could at least answer the two including mine as why we are having these issues and if you can’t fix refund the money we paid for the app Very disappointed ### 1/5 — New version does not work *2022-07-04, version 1.6.38* The update to the app is useless. It doesn’t ask to use your phone for location and then shuts down. What is going on??? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Happy prospector *2022-09-05, version 1.6.38* Yes it’s been a great help ,but suddenly stopped can only access map but no tenements can’t get onto settings for it can’t figure out why it stopped if you could help that would be great ### 5/5 — Great app! *2021-04-22, version 1.5.29* Keeps me within the legal lines for detecting precisely and accurately every time, updates available daily and never old tenement data, perfect! ### 5/5 — A must have for gold prospecting in WA. *2018-06-21, version 1.5.24* Excellent app and a tool that you have to have. Turn it on, download/update info from the Mines Dept, go to settings and turn everything on, it’s not hard to use! ### 5/5 — Great App *2018-06-07, version 1.5.24* Recently downloaded this app. Finding it very useful out in the field to know exactly where I am on a pending tenement. This is most important these days. The best part is the simplicity of tenement updates. And as always back up and support from Kurk. ### 3/5 — Details *2020-05-03, version 1.5.29* Don’t know how I feel about this app yet as it doesn’t provide much detail like a legend to show what each marking means or any info on what land is unmarked and whether you can prospect there or not ### 3/5 — Does not display....... *2018-07-25, version 1.5.24* An awesome app for the weekend prospector. Dose not display, road names, towns, city’s or basic map info on ur apple products. if you are planing your trip. Hoping they will have an up grade soon. ### 3/5 — Yes it does *2018-07-05, version 1.5.24* Yes it does what it claims to do, it tells you where you are on a tenement and whether its live or pending but only just, this is the most clunky basic app and also the most expensive at 50 bucks I feel you may be taking the p--s. The idea I like but I see my $50 and 3 star rating as an investment in the hope you will make it better. Cheers ### 2/5 — App keeps crashing 🤷‍♂️ *2023-04-10, version 1.6.43* Not sure why but something has gone wrong in the last few updates since I can’t get past loading the App, then update Data…the Wa Map will eventually display and once I select ..display Tenements..it starts to load but crashes within seconds…on every single attempt! That’s on my iPad, on my mates iPhone Please fix this asap🙏🏼 Update: received a response from the developer ( thank you) indicating that there is now an update and that the reason for this issue I had to occur was for IOS to stop supporting the app ( if I understood this correctly try) and that the update will fix this. Happy Prospector if it’s fixed, if not you have my support 👍 Goo on ya mate, for responding and providing a fix 👏👍 ### 2/5 — App keeps crashing *2022-09-11, version 1.6.38* This app will no longer load on any of my devices, iPad, iPhone. I update data, then try to display map and crashes every time. We need a fix. ### 2/5 — Not happy *2020-05-25, version 1.5.29* Not happy with the app - for the first week or so, it closed each time I attempted to locate my position by expanding the screen. Once that was sorted (temporarily), it would only track a certain distance unless the screen was kept "live". --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
