Aplikacja mBDL (mobilny Bank Danych o Lasach) umożliwia bezpośredni dostęp do map lasów na telefonach i tabletach. Podstawową zawartością aplikacji są leśne mapy tematyczne BDL, takie jak: mapa podstawowa, drzewostanowa, form własności, siedlisk leśnych, zbiorowisk roślinnych oraz mapa łowiecka. Poza mapami branżowymi, użytkownik ma możliwość wyświetlenia predefiniowanych podkładów rastrowych, np. mapy topograficznej lub ortofotomapy lotniczej/satelitarnej, a także map z zewnętrznych serwisów WMS. Adresy najpopularniejszych serwisów, np. dane o charakterze katastralnym, ortofotomapa czy serwis GDOŚ, są zapisane w aplikacji na stałe, co ułatwia ich wykorzystanie. Inne, dowolne serwisy WMS można podłączyć wpisując konkretny adres URL, który jest następnie zapamiętywany w aplikacji. Po wcześniejszym pobraniu odpowiednich danych, aplikacja działa również w sytuacji braku łączności z siecią Internet. Mechanizm pobierania danych do pracy offline umożliwia korzystanie z map nadleśnictw oraz parków narodowychRazem z mapami, które zapisywane są w postaci rastrowej, dla lasów PGL LP pobierane są dane wektorowe z atrybutami opisowymi. Z poziomu aplikacji mBDL użytkownik ma dostęp w trybie online do pełnego opisu taksacyjnego dla lasów wszystkich form własności. Opis taki zawiera m.in. gatunki drzew i krzewów występujące w danym miejscu, ich szczegółowy opis, adres leśny, wskazania gospodarcze i wiele innych informacji. Aplikacja wyposażona jest dodatkowo w szereg przydatnych w terenie funkcjonalności: zapis punktu z lokalizacji GPS lub ze wskazania na mapie, zapis trasy oraz prostą nawigację do wskazanego punktu. Zapisane punkty i trasy można wyeksportować w postaci pliku KML, wysłać w świat w dowolny sposób lub zaimportować na innym urządzeniu, na którym też jest zainstalowana aplikacja mBDL. W mBDL można wyszukać wydzielenia leśne na podstawie tzw. adresu leśnego. Narzędzie to działa podobnie jak wyszukiwanie w portalu internetowym. W menu Pomoc dostępna jest również instrukcja opisująca podstawowe funkcjonalności, z którą warto się zapoznać na początku użytkowania aplikacji.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Yanosik at 58% against mBDL's 16%. Yanosik also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (96 vs 1). mBDL's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 16) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

mBDL holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Yanosik has 96 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of Yanosik's written reviews are positive against 16% of mBDL's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Yanosik ships an update fortnightly, mBDL every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
