## Metes and Bounds Basic Reviews in United States

### *---- "Not able to translate my parcel description using this app"
Not able to translate my parcel description using this app
-- Jimmy in AZ, 2023-04-01

### *---- "Crashes &amp; cannot edit a call list with basic"
With Basic version, it crashes every time any feature is used. Cannot edit a saved call list. It’s pointless to purchase this level, so why sell it?
-- BarbSmall, 2019-10-12

### ****- "Landman"
Really like this app. Easy to use and so convenient for doing title work in courthouse.
-- Snoey13, 2017-05-22

### ***** "Great for checking legals"
I&#039;m a Prof. Land Surveyor and was looking for a way to quickly check legal descriptions for closure without needing my computer.  This works great!  Only thing I wish it did was export to a cad format like DXF.
-- Feaston, 2017-03-27

### ***** "Forester"
Great app, PC version is great.  I highly recommend this for anyone needing to create a property bounds map.  I also often use it when checking boundaries in field.  Only wish that app could enter data in 0-360 like PC version.
-- NE-FFM, 2014-10-04

### ***** "Oil &amp; Gas"
Great App for a Landman!!! A+++
-- Jusko11, 2014-06-05

### ***** "Works perfectly"
I use it often.  Nice and portable.
-- Bimmer30, 2013-09-13

### ***** "Great"
This is amusing, big hi five for this app, is really good for all those landman out there, have to work a little in som bugs though.
-- Peferoso, 2013-02-11

### ****- "handy tool for computing area"
I needed a tool to compute the area of acreage from metes and bounds. This tool got the job done. The only limitation is there is not a way to save and recall data sets for diffferent parcels and then call them back up if a change is needed. It remembers the last data set entered, and does have the ability to export to PDF.
-- sailorknight, 2012-12-05

### ***-- "Label on the lines?"
This is a very basic deed plotter. For the money there are some improvements that could be made that would make it much more worth the money plus more useable. They are
1:  Show the point number on the screen
2:  Be able to enter a call by turned angle off a line
     Positive number for angle right or negative for angle left
3:  Most critical. Auto label the line. It&#039;s VERY inconvenient to 
     Have to go back and forth between plot view and call list view
4:  The ability to make the 1st point any coordinate desired

As a professional land surveyor these suggestions would make this 
App much more useful and shouldn&#039;t be too much to ask for the price
Thanks
