GeoExplore vs Geology Toolkit

GeoExplore is primarily a geological data logging (recording) toolset. Use GeoExplore to gather data at any location(s) of your choice (a Custom Field Trip) or download into the app one of the Guided Field Trips, prepared by geology teachers and lecturers..
Guided Field Trips come with a map and suggested locations to explore, along with detailed information about those locations. These field trips often have a specific aim, e.g. a mapping exercise, or structural exercise.

GeoExplore provides a toolkit consisting of compass/clinometer, graphic (sedimentary) logging tool, make audio notes, text notes and take photos all linked to a specific site, or to a bed in the logging tool. Other facilities include rock type information, grain size reference, glossary of terms (which may be customised to field trip topic). Means to assign rock types and link them to observation sites in a mapping exercise.

 All recorded data is held within GeoExplore, even when switched off, or running a different field trip. Data may be shared by email contacts, based on selected site, or sedimentary log, specific bed or entire field trip.

 Although the GeoExplore is primarily designed for recording geological information, it would support anyone wishing to record data by location in fields such as archaeology, ecology, forestry, park management, soil conservation, highway/footpath maintenance... GeoExplore is path of the Voyages in DeepTime project delivered by the Herefordshire & Worcestershire Earth Heritage Trust, with support provided by the Heritage Lottery Fund, the Bransford Trust, Tomlinson-Brown Trust and numerous other organisations and individuals..

Geology Toolkit uses AI to identify rocks and minerals, explain formations and create labelled pencil sketches all from a photo, then tells you the story behind them - how they formed, what they're made of and what else you might find nearby. Also includes geological information like Mohs hardness, luster, chemical formula and much more. Whether you're a curious walker who picked up something interesting, a rockhound building your collection, a student preparing for fieldwork, or a professional working in the field, Geology Toolkit gives you a considered field guide in your pocket. What you can do • Identify rocks, minerals, crystals, gems, and pebbles from photos • Read the full formation story - how each specimen formed, over what timescale, in what conditions • Discover companion minerals commonly found alongside your finds • Save specimens to your personal field guide with sketches, notes, and location • Get confidence scores and alternative identifications for tricky specimens Built for serious curiosity • Rockhounds and collectors building a field guide of finds • Geology and earth science students studying mineralogy, petrology, and classification • Field professionals needing quick, reliable identification and reference • Educators and parents exploring geology with curious learners • Anyone who's ever picked up a stone and wondered what it was Why Geology Toolkit Most rock identifier apps stop at a name. Geology Toolkit goes further - explaining why a rock is what it is, how it formed, and what to look for in the field. Every identification adds to your personal field guide, building a reference you'll return to. Subscribe for unlimited identifications, full formation histories, companion mineral data, and an exportable field record. From photo to real geological understanding - one specimen at a time.
