2024-08-06	Adam Lacroix	zero tech support- doesn't work. I paid for the necessary upgrades to use the GIS mapping and I have a brand new GNSS receiver. no matter what I do it won't correct and the map is only accurate to several meters. no tech support, no tutorial videos, and the website it basically blank. too go to be true
2024-08-01	Patrick Gichure	I'd be helpful if pictures can be set as fields. That way they can be categorized. Also the option to import Mbtiles would be great.
2023-01-07	James	Functional enough for my application (tree survey), but beware the extortion attempt when you try to retrieve your data. $30 is steep for an amateur one-off project, but I might have considered it if they'd been up front about it. Thankfully, we only did a small trial before committing.
2022-10-22	Matthew Stamm	Great app. Have had a couple small issues, mainly my misunderstanding on stuff. They helped me through the problems and it is working great. Export feature is great to import my shots into ArcMap!
2022-10-13	A Person	I have purchased 3 products including MapIt Pro, Export to Postgre and NTRIP Client. I am unable to change the coordinate reference system for Australia (EPSG:7843 Geographic 3D). Each time I time I change the default coordinate system to custom, I also add EPSG:7843 to the custom CRS. Also your accessibility for communication is absent. There is no phone contact number, no email address, and no live chat function. In addition your only communication channel, the Contact Form, is inoperable.
2022-08-26	paul mburu	It is a good app. Also do you have any future plans to establish a sharing option of data to other MapIt app users. Do you have desktop version of MapIt Can we have an online repository that save data that Incase of change of device I can still retain my data. As a student of Geospatial I am honored to be using MapIt. I would also like to know if you have plans of advancing MapIt into a Software based company. Something like Esri.
2021-08-22	John D Smith	Rock Solid field mapping app. I currently use Mapit Spatial and find with using NTRIP I am able to collect Sub 2M data. Using a bluetooth linked GNSS receiver like a Reach RS2 and ntrip easily Sub 2cm all on a mid level capable Android phone. Would love to see an ability to link into a qgis server, or load qgis field files for offline editing, and upload etc etc. A very useful field tool in this non spatial version. Used in irrigation service support area.
2021-04-13	Kellen Maloney	I am having the same issue as Charlie Flower. Used to love this app, but for some reason it no longer allows me to export data. Not useful without that feature, as I need to import files into a GIS program. If they don't update soon, consider another app.
2021-03-11	Peter Wambuki	Frustrating to be told to keep repurchasing the pro extension daily despite owning .Recent updates are so frustrating. You could be in an extremely remote area without network access and boom the app suddenly tells you need to buy a pro extension to access database management feature despite having bought one prior. No change of phone no change of anything and it costs you travelling to a network area to "try" repurchasing only to be told "error! You already own this item" 😡😡 So frustrating!!
2021-03-05	Charlie Flower	Worked like a charm for ~1 year. Pulled it out this spring and it wont export data. I purchased Mapit GIS Pro at the onset, but it seems the extension is no longer recognized. When I try to repurchase it wont let me. Maybe the app is no longer being supported, thats a shame.
