Ratings and reviews

Great piece of software. Only thing that could make it better is some dark theme optimized for AMOLED displays. I drew a 100+m deep pit with it with ease (with over 700 points) . No problems with bluetooth connection. :-) Great work!

One of the best cave surveying apps I've used. Backs up to the cloud. Decent rendering. Enjoy the options. Wish it had full rotation abilities. Also can't figure out loop closures. Can we add calibration support?

Easier to use than topodroid, can manually input or rename stations as required, despite other reviews, (press and hold shot that leads to that station) and will then follow your station naming format. Export to Walls does not work correctly, it fails to append station names to splays, which is required in walls, and makes for some time fixing the data to make it work. This last update has some cool symbols (rat!). Still wish I could change the background grid from meters to feet.
