Impressive! This app isn't a reference, it's a tool. All the maps and profiles you need to explore an area are right here, with even a Brunton compass!
Seems like it would be useful, if it could manage memory properly, pretty much unusable though.
Good
great app!
LOVE THIS APP!!! It makes being a passenger on road trips infinitely more interesting. It helps me suss out potential fossil collecting sites, locally, by formation. It's so easy to spend hours on!
I keep my GPS turned off, and this app keeps trying to access my location about 1-2 times/second in the background, even after telling the system not to ask again. This makes the whole app respond extremely slowly (if at all) to my inputs, and the map is pretty much unusable unless I am willing to wait 5 minutes each time I want to learn something new.
Perfect for input and receipt of data
Interesting and informative for me, hence the ***** rating.
I'm a Geotechnical Driller I grabbed this app to find bed rock formations This app seems to only shows the surface geology and the information isn't very basic ( Example click on an area near a beach the geological description will probably say Sand, Silt, Gravel, May have areas with clay When I clicked on the map in most areas it just showed the alluvial soils I would love to help build this app up so it has a complete geology map of SthEast QLD
Good Enough For Mobile. Does not work in Areas of No Mobile Coverage.
