was really good when it first came out. but the disadvantage of not getting a free trial forced you to pay for the app. LIDAR was included in the price initially, but after paying for the app, they took this feature away and you are now forced to pay a lot of $$$ more for it. the app is good if you want a lot of features in the one program, but they now want $$$ for everything.

Hi Jason, the free QLD LiDAR was removed by the Queensland Government, not us. We now self-host LiDAR, which has significant costs and is why it’s a paid upgrade. Next week we’re releasing a free version of the app with full in-field features (waypoints, breadcrumbs, offline maps), with all historic layers optional upgrade. Matt – Detector Maps

you create and account and then go straight to a payment screen. I couldn't even have a look at the app or features to see if it was worth that a month. A short free trial (even 15 mins) would have been great just to see what the maps and features are actually like. Maybe consider a very basic free version even if you put ads on it to get people to use it. I have several other apps I use and pay premium subscriptions for after seeing what it is like.

Hi there, thanks for the feedback. I completely understand where you’re coming from. We designed the account setup this way to keep our map data secure, but we hear from users like you that being able to explore before subscribing would be helpful. We are in the motion of creating a free trial on mobile and it will be out very soon. Cheers

New to detecting, so this app has given so much insight to what is out there to assist with the search for the shiney stuff. From waterways to boundary lines, leases, GPA's, Lidar and the list goes on. Had a slight set back after an update, but Matt and Tom got it sorted (even over the Christmas period).

Features not as described! Most login attempts don't load past login screen, Offent Crashes, Subscription I was billed for is not synchronised in the app it displays 'Free Trail" and the in app invoice reflects. Very keen prospector and Extremely keen on the app, have been telling everyone I know about the videos and previews since before it's realise. Extremely disappointed and paying for a subscription benefit me at all. I would pay 4x the premium subscription if app was an advertised :(.

I have had the app since it came out, I had researched a area of soil samples like 4000 of them before detector maps came out and the samples on the app matched my 2 months of research there has been some bugs but they get them sorted. I do like one login on all my devices
