RockHound

No information AT ALL

Not worth $1.99.

Absolutely useless. No info other than directions. No space for others input, and the info available is decades old. There haven't been agates at Agate beach for 20 years. Save your time and money, I wish I had.

I should have read more reviews...this app is definitely not worth the $1.99 I shelled out for it. There are only 2 pictures per mineral/specimen and it is missing some pretty common ones, where is garnet? Not only that, but it looks like the app has been out for quite a few years (more than 5) and there is such scant to no information about sites in the Midwest and other various parts of the country that the location feature (which is what supposedly makes the app worth $1.99) is virtually useless. So, sitting at the park today with my son, excited to identify his gems and minerals he panned for at a cave site in Missouri, was a bust. There weren't enough pictures to compare our actual stones to for a positive identification and there were no sites in Missouri listed to lend any clue or helping hand. I already deleted this waste of space and want my money back!!

This app provides such a minuscule amount of rockhounding sites for each locality it is not worth downloading.

Since this app is been around for so long, I thought there would be a lot more sites. It also does not take advantage of GPS to be able to add in your current location as a potential site. Could be a fantastic app, if they took the time to actually add in an offsite to make the purchase worth it. You can't search by what you want to find, so there is no way to really make use of the sites that are there.

This app lacks all the things others have said about it but I want to add different problems. When looking at individual minerals, the list of minerals blocks the description, at least 4 lines of info. They want others to add to their meager work and they want to release updates, profiting from our efforts. I guess they had better have people cite their sources as there is such a thing called plagiarism....I think I will learn how to make apps to get something of value.

1. Would be nice to see the locations linked to mapping app 2. Rock hound sites in the current library very focused on the Western and Eastern US....limited info for rest of country

Not the most comprehensive mineral encyclopedia, but DEFINATELY worth it just for the map of known sites to hunt :)

Useless. Ok if you already know rocks and their names, but don't expect this site to help in identifying rocks.
