Igis For Ipad App Reviews

This has been the best GIS app I have tried on the iPad. I have a lot of shape files that it easily imported. They are actually quite big and this program handles them without any issues. Easy to import files and everything just works. It's great for me with field work. Great app.

Nice app, but I'm a newbie to the iPad. So far I have my street centerlines and a few small point files loaded. Looks good. I'm having trouble with 8k address points though (my main reason for the app). I think this app has great potential. 3 stars for now, maybe more later... Thanks, phil.

I like iGis good program. Prob is the newest one out has bugs! When you go into layers you can't get out and back to your map.

iGis was working great but now every time I use it in landscape, it cuts off drawing about a quarter of all the layers on the East side. Almost like it thinks it's in portrait. I tried to delete the app and reload it along with all my layers to no avail. Once this issue is resolved this app is a five star.

Aren't you sick of GIS apps that require you to be connected to the cloud 24/7? This app (iGIS) stores offline vector and raster data and gives you a nice and clean interface to work with out in the field. I find the WiFi uploading of layers to be very slow, but it has more to do with the slow web server in the iDevice than any bug in the software. Use USB importing and exporting whenever possible and you will be happy.

I would love to see measuring tools as well as a way to share your maps with other users that have also purchased the app.. Other than that it is pretty awesome.

Did not load my shapefiles. Emailed tech support with question no response.

Version 7 fails to import shape files. Worked in previous versions using Wi-Fi.

Great start to the app, loading is easy and renders smoother than I expected. Would go 5 stars if it starts to support other formats besides shapefiles...especially MapInfo TAB files.

Currently working with my team in Laos undertaking satellite ground-truthing work. This app has been nothing short of a revolution for us. Thank you!

I work in GIS programming (also in Hobart) and this program is great. You can upload large shapefiles to your iPad, and they are speedily overlaid on Google Maps. Wonderful.

Just tried this in the field today and this is a very easy tool to use. All data exported back to ARC GIS perfect. One request to add is the option to display point labels on the map. I have over 200 points captured on 18,000 acres and no way to see the labels displayed on the map. I can query each point to see the data associated with the point but not able to view the name of each point on the map.

Blows my mind. So much different from other navigation apps!

This app started having shape file importing issues after the last update, as it turns back to main menu as soon as I hit "import". And it is hard to pick points on the map. Good app, needs fixing, ASAP.

I used to use this during graduate school and found it to be a handy tool. I recently tried it again for a project after not opening it for a couple of years. The interface seems polished. Unfortunately, the app is much less capable than it used to be. Many things I touch (for example, changing symbology) inform me that I need to subscribe to do. This is a surprise, since I originally paid for this app. Furthermore, several shapefiles I tried to load from the Natural Earth dataset failed to load with a message that the CRS selected was wrong (it wasn't). Finally, some complex shapefiles that did import displayed with weird artifacts that I don't see in the desktop programs QGIS or ArcGIS. Overall, I'm pretty disappointed and wish I could get the old version back.

Normally space and time travel can be hectic, random, and right darn bumpy. With this spatial info, i can coordinate spacefolds quicker and less random. Winning!

It is look good,I get it free,thank you....

Great App, no problem loading shape files into the program. I don't know if I am missing something but I would give five stars if you could measure distance and area within the app.

Discovering iGIS has made field data collection much easier than using professional surveying equipment. It works with standard data file formats, is simple to use even for newbies, and is very reliable. I wish I new about iGIS before spending money on Trimble Juno 5's. the web site mentions providing "pro" options for a fee, but they are apparently not available yet.

Really like this app. Would like ability to label as part of this app. Performs very well.

To say this is amazing doesnt cut it. For viewing shape files and doing simple editing in the field, this is perfect. The only drawback is the re-render required after zooming. But for the price of free, this is simply too good to rate any less than 5.

Much better than esri arcgis for iPhone/iPad. The esri app doesn't come close to this functionality.

Wait until this is fixed, if it ever is. Import doesn't work for me, lost half day trying to make it import shp files. It looks to me like expensive buggyware. If you would like to be a beta tester, for whatever it costs you to buy this app, here's your chance. If not, give it a pass for now.

This app is great. It allows me to view my ESRI GIS shape files projected over the Google map. The Colorado state plane projection works very well and my data lines up with the aerial imagery. Great viewing application only $30 ....Awesome Price. Great functionality for accessing and viewing data attributes. Good speed. Great app for areas where cell service isn't available because it stores the data on the iPad....unlike the ESRI app that needs a connection to a server.

real gis on ipad, very nice

I give iGIS 5 stars because it does exctly what you need from a mobile GIS software suite. I used this app for the duration of geology field camp. I was able to use lines, points, polygons, and custom raster datasets to create a geologic map. Get this app now if you use any software involving .shp files (ArcMAP for example). This software on the ipad performs faster and is far more intuitive than mobile Arcpad. Highly recommended.

Too many bugs in new update version need more work

Waste of money. Could not be more frustrated with this piece of c*** app. Does not load shapefiles spits out error after error. All spatial files work fine on my computer but not on this garbage. DON'T BUY!!!
