3/5Need better GUI and more tools as its desktop version
This is a very basic and plain version of the desktop application so hopefully the GUI for data input and tools will be migrated as it is, it is very slow to input data manually and there are practically no COGO and drawing tools Since the developer has a very good desktop version I am sure it wont be long to make these improvements

5/5Great for checking legals
I'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.

1/5Crashes & 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?
