We have used this app for Cultural burning, wildlife surveys, feral animal and weed surveys, to track work for weed management jobs. It's been really good so far. We like the huge variety of icons to use, and it's easy to draw and mark polygons. Works fine offline, but sometimes is slow to load different layers when offline, but probably not the app's fault.

Exporting maps with all features that have been added to the map as a GPX.file isn't working and is making you do on feature / fire edge / GPS tracks. With out this feature working properly it is making it hard to share to other people.

I love it. The range of options available and ease of use is outstanding. One suggestion would be to add a measuring tool for distance / area / possibly hieght.

GPS doesn't work, otherwise great for mapping out hazard reduction burns and wildfires. Just sucks having to zoom in and out to find my exact location. Can only use in conjuction with other apps that actually have GPS
