# Soil Explorer vs Geology Dictionary Pro

The clearest difference is rating: Soil Explorer at 4.1 against Geology Dictionary Pro's 3.2. Geology Dictionary Pro's advantage is review sentiment (40% vs 0%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 14.7). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Soil Explorer holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 9 and 6 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Soil Explorer's written reviews are positive against 40% of Geology Dictionary Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
