The words are huge, doesn't want to scroll up / down or sideways. 1st and only attempt to use app, nothing happened. Gave option to go to USDA web site. Same problem.

U70%

App no longer functions on Nexus 6p with Oreo. Everything on the screen is enormously zoomed in, unable to use this previously great app until that is fixed. As an Environmental Specialist for Florida Dept of Health, this app would be more useful if it displayed the profiles in inches. Otherwise it's a good start/field reference.

Great app only issue I'm having is that the text is so big I have to scroll alot to see the profile. This large text has just come about recently. Other then that it would be 5 stars.

This app was great but now it does not let me pick a location on a map. Also, when it finds my location and displays the soil information, it is zoomed in way too far. Good app just need to work out the bugs.

D70%

This app was the best app since sliced bread, but with both Android and IPhone updates it no longer works. So disappointing...

U70%
by U####:

Not zoomable and text defaults to GIANT. I wish it worked so you could pin-drop a location to get the info rather than only your actual location.

G70%
by G####:

Always timing out. Not once in any location have I been able to get this app to work. The GPS just scans and times out. Very disappointing...

U70%
by U####:

It's ok, but the graphics are showing up very zoomed in. I can't zoom out. It makes it very inconvenient to look up data

U70%
by U####:

Please please please fix the zoomed text. I used to use this app all the time and now it's hardly useable that the text is way too zoomed in.

N70%
by N####:

Text is zoomed in too far. You have to scroll all over the place to see the soil profiles.

U70%
by U####:

Might be good, but pages are permanently zoomed about 500% making it very tedious to view and navigate.

U70%
by U####:

Used to work great. Now everything is zoomed up to 500% and has become unusable.

U70%
by U####:

The app opens to a large zoomed in window and I cannot zoom out 2 a normal screen. It did work fine at one time and open normally but now it doesn't.

V70%

Just downloaded this app at the recommendation of a soil scientist, but it crashes every time i try to open it.

U70%
by U####:

Was an app. I used and deepened on now is has a bug and doesn't work. Working it's a 5 start+.

U70%
by U####:

Worked great on my lg g5 but ever since i upgraded to the galaxy s8+ it shows everything in an extremely large font with no way to zoom out.

D70%
by D####:

Works okay. Everything is zoomed in so far, I have to spend a while scrolling to find anything I need.

L70%
by L####:

Screen size is too large on android. Not navigable. There was an effort to communicate...

U70%
by U####:

Database is probably among the best but the zoom issue makes the app basically unusable.

Love this app. It's a huge hit with the Soil Evaluator certification in Mass!

I have not found any soils app better than this one. It is relatively accurate as well.

Thanks Dylan. This is a great resource that I find myself using often.

Z70%
by Z####:

Hey guys! I love this app, but currently I'm having some troubles with it. The GPS portion times out every time I try to use it, causing me not to be able to see the soils that I'm on! I don't know if this is a GPS problem or a problem with the App, but I'd love to get it addressed. Thanks!

Excellent app till the error bug showed up, can no longer tap soil icon to show the series characteristics. Hopefully they will fix. Use it on daily basis for oil/gas environmental impact studies.

I work on the National Wetlands Inventory and this has proved to be a useful tool in the field when we do site surveys and field verification.
