Theodolite for Positive User Reviews
✓ Very ProfessionalA very useful app for quick on site measurements! I haven’t utilised all it can do yet but vary happy with what I can do. Only niggle is that it would be good if the screen automatically rotated with the phone, that way I would be able to use the phones volume buttons to take a pic/measurement rather than the screen ‘button’. If the developers could manage that it would be so much easier to use. ...please!.Version: 6.0
✓ Excellent app.I’ve been using this app in its various iterations for years. It’s amazing how often it comes in useful. It looks a bit daunting at first, but is actually very easy to use. If I could give it six stars, I would!.Version: 6.0
✓ Lovely jubbly.. But could be even better..!Ok then...this a beautiful looking app. Very interested in the augmented reality apps and this one has a fantastic interface, and graphics. Clearly of use to a lot of people who might need Theodolite based information. This App woul be utterly amazing if you could access the iphones google maps through it and put in basic point to point journey information. Thus allowing the route map line to appear on the mapping section. Tricked up version of Gmaps then.. With drive data. Very nice. Other suggestions for improvements on future updates. 1. Ability to rotate to vertical position on the phone keeping fully functionality. 2. Displaying of travelling speed infomation if possible would be great. ------------------ Overall a great app at a good price and am looking forward to see updates on this to see what extra gets added. Ombudsman ( dec '09 ).Version: 0
✓ Beyond AwesomeI have absolutely no use for this app whatsoever but decided to buy it because it's just cool and awesome. Works exactly as advertised, great app to show off what an iPhone can do :) Would be nice if I could hide the help icon as it does somewhat clutter the display (and I never use it any more). Can't wait until I'm next in some exotic location to take a pic with the app showing all the infos overlaid. Now, if I could just find a military jet fighter plane to sit in... or a tank! Or maybe I'll just tape the iphone to my head and walk around with app running as a HUD :D.Version: 0
✓ ExcellentI forgot I had this app. While thinning out my vast library of apps, I came across this gem again. Re-loaded it right away. It is a great app, showing exactly where you are, emailing anyone direct from the app. Full size photo or screen shots are great. Even take videos with all the data displayed. I'm glad it hasn't been left behind like so many other apps!.Version: 6.1.1
✓ Great AppIt's a great for a beginner, icon s easy to understand..Version: 2.6
✓ Great appThis does exactly what I need it to do..Version: 6.1.2
✓ Fantastic appAs a Fire Chief, I use this app regularly to document scenes for investigative and evidentiary purposes. Have recommended this app to many other colleagues. Wouldn’t be without it..Version: 6.1.2
✓ BrilliantEasy to use, got everything you need, just read the instruction to get the most out of it..Version: 6.0
✓ TheodoliteThis is a cleverly designed app which it is impossible to fault..Version: 6.0
✓ Great appJust need to figure out how to use it!.Version: 7.0
✓ A great helpThis was a great help even before I had found out how to use it fully. However even after looking through the help file I can’t work out why it doesn’t give an accurate reciprocal when I line it up from the opposite end of my fence line. Any idea anyone?.Version: 7.0
✓ Excellent!I had the free version, but I like to support quality. And so I bought this one. I haven't a clue what to do with it, how to use it, or anything. But it just looks terrific. Very impressive. If it is already there, then I apologise, but a question mark in the corner for quick access to a help page would be useful. And not in a language where I need a PHD in physics and micro biology to understand. Some of us are stupid, y'know!.Version: 2.6
✓ Arizona Site StewardI’ve been using this app for 6+ years and find it a valuable tool when out in the field. It saves me time from using my hand held gps then having to take a picture of the position. I have recommended this app to my colleagues for documenting archaeological subject matter. It’s well worth time to try it out..Version: 8.2.2
✓ MVBUnique survey/camera tool that records lat/long, strike/dip, elevation/distance, time/date and many other geo-data parameters: useful to geologists, foresters, ecologists, cartographers, search & rescue, etc. Internal mapper included and/or can export data to Google Earth etc. If you are lost or injured and need rescue, as long as you’re near enough to a cell tower to pick up your transmission, you can send precise location data to rescuers. You can even send them a satellite photo of where you’re at!.Version: 6.0
✓ Fascinating applicationTheodolite Pro is a fascinating application showcasing some of the abilities the iPhone is capable of. Whether playing around and curiously experimenting, or seriously putting your iPhone to work, it's surprising to find quite a few uses limited only by one's imagination. So far the application has worked flawlessly and been extremely accurate. Great job!! This app would be a great gift to a student learning geometry, or an outdoors person with a curious nature, or just someone who likes to experiment. I've seen lots of articles and apps about compasses , levels, protractors , and similar devices. None that I have read about or used can match Theodolite. Additionally, Theodolite is a well thought out app with a great user manual. I haven't had an issue or crash using Theodolite on a 3GS, 4S, and 6 Plus on their various IOS versions. This is one app that will stay on my device..Version: 6.1
✓ Great!Great app. Work well and is really usefull in my job..Version: 6.1
✓ Great appThis is a great app. I’ve used it a number of times for jobs I’ve done. I’m no engineer, nor experienced in operating a theodolite but trial & error worked at first & then speaking with engineers helped. I still use the app for obstacles on or near aerodromes. It’s a ‘tick’ from me..Version: 6.0
✓ Brilliant!Amazing what you can get for $4 nowadays - I only regret I haven't had this for the past 40 years. I have the "Pro" version and it works SO WELL! Stand in the middle of a site, shoot a wonderfully informative picture, and e-mail it right on the spot. I couldn't be more impressed - I'd have bought a 'smart phone' for this app alone..Version: 6.0
✓ Most UsefulI like everything, had an older version on my iPhone 6 that would not work on my newer iPhone X. Just downloaded this, loving it. ONE BIG PROBLEM, I cannot close this app, I’ve tried everything and I can’t close it! ***** Resolved !! If I am holding the phone horizontally then I can slide/close this app but it won’t close in a vertical phone position..Version: 6.0
✓ Great appBrilliant for fire service application.Version: 6.1
✓ FunConcorde flight deck meets iphone camera, real-time numbers flying about everywhere as you swing the camera around, one day I might use this app for something, as a surveyor I should probably have to, but in two years .... not yet!.Version: 2.6.1
✓ Great appGreat app that provides the critical information that I need..Version: 6.1.2
✓ Absolutely brilliant!This is one of the best and most useful apps I have ever downloaded. It is quite intuative and only takes a short time to learn all its features. I use it regularly for surveying helicopter landing sites. True value for money..Version: 2.6
✓ Greatest photo app of all time for constructionI love it, nothing more else I need to say.. One thing to alert developers, I'm on an iPhone 6 and if I'm in the middle of a call and open the app, the view freezes to one frame. The buttons still work and it'll take a picture of where ever you point it but the picture is static.Version: 8.2.2
✓ TheodoliteAn amazing app. Wish it had been available when I was serving. Lots of great info in the display.Version: 6.0
✓ Great app!I’ve had this app for quite a while and love it. It has a lot of information all brought together in a handy way. I use while hiking using it and my USGS 7.5 minute topo maps (or the Topo Map app). It uses the iPhone camera, so I often take a couple of pictures with it to help orient me when I’m traveling or taking photos in unfamiliar territory. It’s a survey and navigation tool and has a lot of data on each picture, not designed to replace your camera. I have not had any issues with it, and it’s GPS and compass correlate well with the GPS and compass on the iPhone and the Topo Maps app..Version: 6.0
✓ Great qualityApp is perfect for environmental surveys and geo referencing photos.Version: 6.1.2
✓ Perfect for Construction TrackingI am an ITS and Tolling assessor representing the Colorado Department of Transportation and I use this app daily for tracking project progress. I am constantly taking photos of different job sites and don’t always have time to add them into PlanGrid that second. I used to have problems remembering where the photos were taken or even what they were taken for so to have the information imbedded into the photos is very helpful and very useful. Many of the other construction managers I work with now use Theodolite daily to track progress also. Thanks Theodolite!.Version: 8.0
✓ OutstandingThis is my favourite app. Works as advertised and provides value..Version: 6.0
✓ ExcellentVery accurate. The map feature is really cool. You can set it to turn in your direction. Unlike the Maps feature on iPhone where you have to constantly reset it so that it changes the map in the direction you’re moving. I got this app early in its development, and it’s always worked flawlessly. I would recommend it..Version: 8.2.2
✓ Amazing App for doing RF/Wireless Systems EngineeringI have been using this app since it came out and it's probably the best app I have on my iPhone to assist with RF Engineering. It allows you to document site locations and then export to a .KMZ file which is incredibly effective way to do surveys and map out locations . It also allows you to get approximate azimuth and horizontal alignment information so that when it's time to install the equipment you will have that information ready to go. I have never had any problems with it and it's with EVERY PENNY..Version: 5.0
✓ Great!Great app, I use it almost daily. Geo-tags photos professionally. Makes for good looking additions to your report (clients will be impressed)..Version: 8.0
✓ Great app for work! Still pauses audio thoughI use this daily in the field and it works great as a time stamp and gps reference for when/where I was. Only complaint is that I’ve had this app for over 3 years and it still pauses audio when in use. I understand if I have it in video record mode, but for plain pictures I don’t understand why it overrides whatever audio I have on. If it’s just pausing my music that’s just an annoyance (sometimes taking photos every 10 min or so for a 12 hour day so it really sucks), but if I have a teams meeting or phone call I basically can’t use the app at the same time..Version: 8.2.2
✓ A beginner's viewTheodolite does a lot of stuff, more than I've had time to learn about so far. Currently I use it to photograph invasive plants, and can email the photo with coordinates to someone else, or to my own machine at work. One hitch--it worked for a while, but then I stopped receiving the emails. Turns out they were hung up in the iPhone mail outbox. Just select and resend. I look forward to learning about the other features as I get a chance. I haven't checked the coordinates against a handheld GPS yet, but it is accurate enough for my use..Version: 6.0
✓ Theodolite ProBrilliant app which is extremely useful and is not a toy, very professional and never fails to impress. Use it often for site survey for radio communications and propagation modeling. Well done..Version: 5.0
✓ Very PowerfulEasily the best app on the market for anyone that needs to do fieldwork or onsite inspections for their work. Mapping resolution is excellent and bearings function very useful. Time stamping of images also helps get the full picture following an inspection..Version: 8.2.2
✓ More than an app, its a pro toolI have relied on this app when I require a precision tool for outdoor photography. Its got everything and more. I use this when Im hiking alone to record and send location updates to friends and family. They can enjoy the pictures and open the location in google earth and others to see EXACTLY when and where it was taken. Awesome for hike review as well. Well done Team!.Version: 6.0
✓ TheodoliteGreat App, really handy for firing off a quick angle or two.Version: 4.0
✓ Theodolite, finds recording.This is a really useful easy to use app. It’s many professional features make it great for navigating the country side and recording archaeology/ geographical points of interest. It enables photos to record locations and places to 5 mtrs accuracy. Only improvement I would wish that it achieved 1 mtr accuracy more often but I suspect its obtaining the satellite links that’s the problem. Use the app for years and never regretted getting it. Best regards, Trevor M . M ..Version: 6.1.1
✓ Incompatible with Wireless RemotesI like using Theodolite to document where I find geocaches. There are also instances when I’d like to take a photo from a tripod. The issue I have is that it does not trigger via Bluetooth remotes. When I try to use the shutter release on the remote, it tries to adjust the volume on the phone instead. When one considers the utility of precise position data available for Theodolite, using a remote trigger would be an added bonus. Thanks for a great product..Version: 6.0
✓ Great work toolI use it for work on our fire management team.Version: 6.1
✓ Tec_64Nice!.Version: 6.1.1
✓ Clint real nice guy Oilfeild consultingI think it’s a brilliant tool it would be a nice option to see legal subdivision from the DLS program in Canada it’s the system we use in the oil field in Saskatchewan Alberta and a part of British Columbia.Version: 8.0
✓ ReviewIndispensable. Been using it for years, time to review it. We do storm water and erosion control and always always have it at hand, always showing it to people, best thing for site assessments, continually saves us from having to go back and measure something. Would you consider an option in Prefs to make the angle readouts announce when they are at zero? Especially the left/right tilt. Hard to see them in New Mexico sunlight sometimes. Or maybe an option to make it bigger when you need to. Thanks for the great app..Version: 7.0
✓ Great Navigation ToolI use it for marine navigation and it is a great addition to the basket of kit. Especially useful when anchoring in good visibility..Version: 6.1.2
✓ BossExcellent app, if I could learn all its features..Version: 8.0
✓ Great I use Theodolite on my steep farm for planningI use Theodolite on my steep farm for planning roads and now building..Version: 6.0
✓ Just what I was looking forI’ve been searching for an app to help me plan photographing the solar eclipse on 10 June 2021. I need an app that will tell me accurate and precisely what the azimuth of various features so I can determine exactly where the Sun will rise. This app does that. The key to the accuracy is that this app allows you to manually calibrate the app to a known azimuth, such as the sun. And your can turn off the accelerometer and rely upon just the more accurate gyroscope for maintaining accuracy over a short period of time. The display of the app is remarkable. I am extremely impressed by the work the developer has put into this app and his other apps..Version: 8.2.2
✓ Love this appI use this app frequently and it never fails to impress. Works as a simple level or for more detailed trigonometry measures. Not such a fan of the new icon and startup screen but this is a minor quibble. The app itself works beautifully. Worth the download for sure..Version: 3.1
✓ Superb ToolUse this extensively in military training and simulation, has always been accurate when measured against other tools. Does need mils however, conversions are a pain.Version: 6.0
✓ Tourists aidTouring in Peru and this app is great for adding data to my pictures.Version: 6.1.2
✓ Almost perfect...4.5/5The uber-geek in me really loves this app. The only shortcoming is documentation. The latest update to the FAQ went a LONG way toward fixing this, but a little more is needed. For example, a screenshot of the app with each component named and explained a little would have been nice (like the different reticles). In all, I really like it...not far from a 5.0 Update...Theodolite finally gets a 5. This app has really matured. The latest updates, especially the in-app purchases with geo-referenced peak names, adds great functionality. If you are an app developer, look to Theodolite for inspiration on developing a full-featured app,. OUTSTANDING!.Version: 6.1.2
✓ Excellent toolI use theodolite all the time on bush walks to record specific locations, check bearings and take general measurements. It's worth every cent. One of the highest quality and most useful tools for utilising the iphone's many physical interpretive devices..Version: 5.0
✓ Great AppGreat app, easy to use!.Version: 6.0
✓ Theodolite cameraFantastic for all sorts of activities. Especially as image based way point log. Recently use it to capture the damage done by direct hit from a lightning strike on my house. The image proved without doubt when, where and what had the damage bad been done. And save your like on extreme backpacking adventures..Version: 6.0
✓ Great field toolI use his tool in the context of field work for crisis resilience and also farm planning. From antenna angles in Haiti to field documentation on a farm, this app is my go-to to capture situational awareness metadata. The interface is simple and yet rich in options, and makes an easy chore of capturing or establishing headings, angles, etc. I use it as is or plugging in my Bad Elf external GPS for added precision and helping the iphone battery life. Heck I've even used it to level picture frames but it's not as exciting. Only thing I'd love to see added to the main screen is the HDOP and VDOP - the GPS precision. Very different to capture data with 2m error than 30m..Version: 6.1.2
✓ Clever, functional and quite uniqueI've got a planning application to contest for the plot at the bottom of my garden. I can work out the height of the proposed development and take a screnshot of the data to support my objection. A clever little app that I'm going to find more time for - and more uses for. A very nicely delivered package..Version: 0
✓ TheodoliteGreat tool, I use it for personally and professionally. I have recommended this product to many people..Version: 6.1
✓ Surprisingly usefulTry it out!.Version: 5.0
✓ TheodoliteWhile l can’t claim to have a good reason to use this app, I can imagine situations where it could be very valuable. Nevertheless I really love it and find reasons to play with it a lot. It is particularly fun when back packing or traveling. It tells me where I am and where I’m looking with absolute precision—every time. Everyone who enjoys technology gadgets that always work as expected, this is the app..Version: 6.0
✓ Great tool for workThis is a very useful tool I use to document photos while land surveying in NE BC. It tells the office where the photo was taken, direction, slope and I can add a personal note. Thank you guys for this app. I love it..Version: 6.0
✓ Great tool for Deer Hunters!Perfectly photograph, locate (GPS), and geographically ID, rubs and scrapes as well as other signs. Plot direction coming from and heading to in order to locate yourself between bedding and feeding grounds. This tool used with another available app allows you to completely survey, photo and catalog your favorite hunting spots and even have the measured land mass square footage calculated to help figure out the sizes of herds that area could support..Version: 6.0
✓ Nice Spartan interfaceVery useful program. Been using it for some time now, and it appears quite stable..Version: 6.0
✓ David AlsopI use this app all the time for surveying and satellite locating and even for hiking. Thanks to the developers.Version: 8.2.2
✓ The programNice program.Version: 6.1.2
✓ Great IdeaA great concept button a bit fiddly but you can only use what you have.Version: 6.0
✓ Theodolite ReviewGood app for construction photos. Would prefer if it was in SI format though..Version: 6.1
✓ Great features butBut why does it switch my music output to iPhone (away from airplay...) when I use it !.Version: 6.0
✓ RecommendedVery powerful and useful tool.Version: 6.0
✓ Does the jobFor site surveys this is just the job. Easy to use too. Non of the fuss working out angles etc. Definitely worth the purchase..Version: 6.0
✓ App reviewAn absolutely bang on app, excellent performance and well worth the small amount to pay, carry on the great work.Version: 5.0
✓ It does what it claims quite well, with a gotchaNot sure about other reviews - an iPhone would help. I've tried this on a 3G and 3GS. The 3GS reacts a lot better. There is one gotcha (which I believe someone else whinged about). That is, if you take a shot by touching the camera icon, the overlay doesn't appear just a summery (I hate winter). If however, you press the sleep & whats-it buttons simultaneously, the overlay is captured. This latter 'feature' is not (... a feature) - try taking a shot in such a way while keeping the thing stable - no chance. You guys would have (and will get) 5 stars with the overlay thingy fixed - don't rely on the "press-two-buttons-stay-in-focus-keep-the-thing-stable-while-standing-on-one-foot" method. Use the camera icon. Thanks..Version: 0
✓ Works wellHave used this app a number of times in my mineral exploration and works as it should No complaints.Version: 6.0
✓ Really usefullI'm an architect, I work in rural locations. I use this app all the time for my initial site investigations. Brilliant..Version: 5.0
✓ Not a toyUsed to be 5* but I have dropped a star for the v3.0 update. The icon is so hyper detailed as to mean nothing on my iPhone. Just because you have hi res doesn't mean you have to go hi detail. Also the splash screen. Why the detail? Keep it simple. That way when the app comes to life I can see at a glance that we are good to go. The video record feature is a huge hit on processing time. Took over 4 minutes to encode less than 10 secs of video on my iPhone 4. And the whole time the app was trying to do measurements in the background? Kill the compass at least and try to optimise the coding. All these said. The app is still an awesome go-to tool for quick measurements in global angles heights and bearings..Version: 3.0
✓ Great appUse it for chopping down trees. Aim up 45 degrees and tree will land 2 steps behind and just miss the house. Phew! Lots of other uses too! Works well.Version: 4.0
✓ Love this appUse this app often to record location of places of interest in the outdoors.Version: 9.0.2
✓ ReviewExcellent product and value. Great for annotating photos with angle and slope information..Version: 6.1.1
✓ Great toolGreat app with numerous uses..Version: 5.0
✓ HR MaxThe best App works very well in grader, dozers, loaders, and on foot 10/10 Thank You 😎.Version: 6.0
✓ Incredibly useful for trail buildersWe use the app for determining slope of the land where we want to build new hiking and biking trails. It’s perfect for this! Highly recommended..Version: 8.2.2
✓ Powerful, Amazing and Great ValueI use Theodolite once in a while but every time I open the app, even if it's just to show my kids something neat that only this app could render, I'm reminded about how good app developers and the iOS platform can combine to create what just a few years ago would have been only a fantasy. Great work! I love Theodolite..Version: 5.0
✓ Not badBeing able to change the size of the text would be useful otherwise a great app.Version: 8.2.2
✓ TheodoliteGreat app.Version: 3.2
✓ IOS 17 problems fixed.Update: 9.0.3 fixed the problem - impressive prompt response by the developer. Back to 5 stars. Still works under iOS 17 on 13 Pro Max, but strange display text overwriting artifacts make some of the data fields difficult to read..Version: 9.0.3
✓ TheodoliteGreat app. Far superior to other apps.Version: 6.1.2
✓ Invaluable ToolAs a major electric utility serving over 15 million residential customers, we have been using Theodolite for several years when setting up helicopter lifts maintaining our infrastructure. Theodolite has proven to be extremely useful in measuring, imaging, geo-tagging and documenting our site plans all at once. This saves hours in the field and returns that time to lift plan development. In turn, that enables much greater productivity that enhances the return on investment for a dedicated aircraft fleet..Version: 8.2.2
✓ RecommendA fantastic app that's useful for so many things. Every day I find a new reason to use it! Best of all, it does exactly what it should and when you need it. Fantastic for pro surveyors on a recognisance visit or even an amateur treasure hunter wanting evidence of find locations..Version: 2.6
✓ TheodoliteThis is my favorite app. I most recently used it to find a Forest fire that had gotten within 3.1 miles of us. I took photographs at various places in the burnt area and then plotted the location on a Quadrangle map. But my main use is to record the location of petroglyphs in remote ( and not so remote sites) in the far west of the U.S. And Canada. Of course in some places satellite connection cannot be made but most of the time it can be. Not only do I get the time and the longitude and latitude and elevation, but also the azimuth. This latter is important because by adding 180 degrees to the reading I can tell what direction the petroglyph is facing. By placing a measuring graphic near the subject the theodolite photo also displays the size of the petroglyph. The theodolite record is redundant because I usually take more photographs with a camera, which includes the time and sometimes the coordinates, but never the azimuth or elevation. This along with iPhone Notebook allows me to travel lighter and scramble in the rocks more safely..Version: 5.0
✓ Graphics?Great app...very very clever. Am I missing something or can you not 'print' the graphics onto the photo? Just a crosshair and plain white text in top left. As 'in-app' graphics are so nice, why not have the option of printing them to the photo too?.Version: 0
✓ Generally good appAlthough I have had this app several years I have to say I am a neophyte. I've only used it to record locations and elevations in my engineering work. The elevations are only as good as the iPhone allows but it provides a good tool for rough relative measurements in the field. I have read the users guide and the program has some powerful features I hope to try some day..Version: 5.0
✓ TheodoliteTheodolite is a great tool. It is very well set out and very useful. Excellent !.Version: 9.0.1
✓ Very CoolAbsolutely brilliant.Version: 5.0
✓ Essential for workThis is a great tool to record progress on a project, the embedded information means you will never need to wonder ‘where & when’ was that. Quick and easy to enter notes about the photo. Love it!.Version: 6.1.1
✓ The closest you’ll get to Luke’s view of HothA little hard to figure out some of the functions, but they’re so useful when you’re curious about where smoke is coming from, how high that tower is, etc..Version: 6.0
✓ Feature request.I recently got a simple phone mount for my tripod. It came with a Bluetooth shutter remote. If you make it so the app can add data to log on volume up press, or even just a picture then the shutter remote would be an exceptional tool along side theodolite. Or an option to pick either in the settings. This will eliminate shake or any slight movement when you’re logging a coordinate..Version: 8.2.2
✓ Theodolite - Buy it!Theodolite on its own is a very useful tool for work and outdoor activities. Ok, so with the Outdoor Adventure bundle, it’s not the cheapest app but it’s worth every penny. I use this while out on survey and the position and altitude overlays on the nav camera are invaluable. The weather app isn’t any use to me because it only works in the US, but I can forgive that. Outstanding app!.Version: 6.0
✓ Very HandyA very good and handy app. A bit more info about using the rangefinder, especially in military mode would be helpful for new users.Version: 6.1
✓ Great for Helicopters!One of the advantages of helicopters is that they can land almost anywhere. However to do this safely a potential landing site should be surveyed to ensure that it is big enough to allow a safe landing and takeoff. This app, when combined with a laser rangefinder, provides everything that is needed to do this. Excellent tool!.Version: 4.0
✓ A really great navigation app.There are no real flaws I can think of. It's a great app and I look forward to seeing what updates bring..Version: 6.0
✓ Reliable AppThis is an easy to use reliable app.Version: 6.1.1
✓ Great appAs a forest ranger I have used it to quickly identify a source of fire and send picture via email,lat and long back to base with radio back up, triangulating If needed. Guys appreciated the speed and visual with overlay of data together. Need coverage tho but v handy none the less. Be good to have a choice of mapping coordinates such as NZTM in the programme..Version: 6.0
✓ In top 10 most used apps - love itI set the text color to yellow so it would be readable with a bright cloudy sky. One snap with this data-rich app is super to support a field memo. I used this app to run a level line in about 60 foresights and backsights over an 1100 ft distance on a highway shoulder. A monopole is helpful for that use. Really use this one a lot..Version: 6.0
✓ TheodoliteGood tool. Rumpelstiltskin.Version: 6.1.2
✓ The theodolite appThe theodolite app is a great tool for those that work and play in the great outdoors. If you are a game warden or in law enforcement this is a perfect work tool as well. I have used the theodolite app over the the last five years, for work and play. The app encodes all of the necessary info time LAT LONG and well as elevation and compass heading that the app was utilized at. This make it possible for another party to stand in the same location and recreate the same observation made. Theodolite will shoot still photos as well as video with encoded the info into the photograph..Version: 6.0
✓ Perfect site toolExcellent mapping of your location and a perfect site tool, it’s all you need.Version: 6.0
✓ Excellent tool for navigation and documenting important placesThis app is both fun and useful. If you ever need to show exactly where something is, or show that you did that job out in the back forty, this app will provide a photo which includes all the information you can possibly imagine- exact latitude and longitude, bearing, altitude, time, date, inclination in 3 dimensions. In principle someone else could very nearly stand in your exact footprints to see the scene, based on the photo. Another useful function is as a Sight Level. I put some bright tape on a tree or the side of the house at my eye level. Using this app I can move around and if I can see the tape I can tell within an inch or so my elevation relative to the tape. This helps with landscaping my yard, for example. So if you are a contractor, forester, or investigator, this would do a nice job for you. I use this app with Boy Scouts, not only for a handy compass bearing, but also for questions like, “If that tree were to fall, would it hit my tent?” (Hint: 45 degree vertical inclination). Or, “How side is that river?” (Classic map & compass exercise.) I cannot evaluate the accuracy of the measurements (apps are notorious for displaying way more accuracy than they really can achieve), but they seem good for my purposes. If you have a boat with good navcom, check the accuracy and let us know! I use it a lot and like it a great deal, and yes, it IS a great deal at this price!.Version: 6.1
✓ An Outstanding App. Accurate. Best App For The Job.Very sensitive. Better accuracy if placed on a fixed platform or stand. Fine detail measurements. The slightest movement is measured. On each of the scales, compass for example, the reading doesn’t bounce between each degree. Movement slides smoothly between the degrees and angles. I’ve never used a surveyor’s theodolite. But, I think this app gives you enough features to roughly measure your property. There are additional features you can get that provide even more professional land features. Get this free application. Rate it! Rate it! Rate it! Simply put, I love this app and I’m sure you will appreciate it too..Version: 9.0.2
✓ Not UniversalHad to re-purchase from iPad to iPhone. Not nice at this price but needed it for both..Version: 6.1.1
✓ Excellent showcase for all the iPhone's featuresI don't think there is a better app for showing off all the iPhone's features: compass, GPS, camera, tilt sensors etc. Worth having even if you're not a surveyor, just to show off what the iPhone can do!.Version: 2.6
✓ SuperWorth it.Version: 6.1
✓ A tool for avalanche forecasters and backcountry skiers/boarders.Theodolite is a fantastic tool for avalanche professionals and all backcountry skiers and riders. For the professionals, take a photo of your pit to obtain and record location, altitude, aspect, date and time. Take a side view, tilting to the slope and you have the angle. This shortens the time required to obtain and record data, while increasing accuracy. For backcountry recreational users, use theodolite to determine aspect (some easy math required) and altitude. A side view shot and you have slope angle. Are you on plan for angle, aspect and elevation?.Version: 6.0
✓ Just gets better and betterHave used this app on and off for several years and seems to improve in features steadily and also in accuracy making use of new capabilities of IPhone hardware. I used extensively for planning application work where long distance photo montages were required. Being able accurately determine where a location is relative to your location, that you may not have sight of, is essential and theodolite makes this child’s play..Version: 6.0
✓ Best app for being in the woodsI use this app for hiking, scouting and hunting. It keeps me from getting lost ... a lot :) It would be nice if one could geotag pictures to saved waypoints. Maybe one can and I just don’t know it’s available. A cool option would be access to older satellite pictures to see in the Fall/ winter , which trees are hardwoods and which are pines. That would aid hunters, hikers , wildlife photographers, bird watchers..Version: 6.1.2
✓ Great for workI’m a geologist and I use this app for work. I switched from Solocator because the image overlays look less cluttered and more professional with Theodolite. Solocator has similar features but altogether this app functions better (Solocator is goofy with phone rotation too). The only thing that would make Theodolite even better would be if there was more control over which data are included in the overlay. For example, I might want to exclude altitude, elevation angle, horizon angle and zoom but retain azimuth, Lat/Lon and date/time in some cases..Version: 9.0.1
✓ So professionalThis app is a joy to use. A brilliant piece of software engineering..Version: 8.2
✓ A fabulous little theodolite appProvides most of the functions that a $3k theodolite would provide, for a little bit cheaper than $3k. If you care about angles, levels and locations, you’ll love this app. The 2,4x zoom feature makes it particularly easy to align precisely with small targets. The GPS lat-longs are embedded in the logs for convenient review. It’s great!.Version: 6.0
✓ Great app.Great app for radio path engineering..Version: 6.1
✓ Great tool, but...It has a major flaw- there is no option to download offline maps. With the capacity of modern smartphones, one can download the whole countries. WiFi or cell data are not readily available in the wilderness and this along significantly cuts the use of this app..Version: 7.0
✓ TheodoliteVery clever.Version: 6.1.2
✓ Professional features and potentialWorking with daily site surveys this tool with all its features is as invaluable as it is simple to use. Brilliant. Should be part of every tool kit..Version: 5.0
✓ Theodolite and Glass cockpitThis is the best app I've ever bought. I fly an ex RAF jet and use this as a backup in case I have an instrument failure. Everything is there and it works. You can take a photo with the heading, climb angle, horizon etc superimposed which is pretty cool. I also lecture and use it to demonstrate trigonometry to my students, it even does all the calculations if required. It's got a map function with gps. If you are a pilot and want an instrument backup or just for cool photos or just a theodolite it's the best I've found. 5 star with bells on. Other pilots and lecturers couldn't believe it when I demonstrated it. That aside it's a brilliant app for anyone..Version: 2.6.1
✓ Simply IncredibleA must have tool for my engineering field work.Version: 6.1.2
✓ Great appThis is a great app. I’m sure it does lots more than I can figure out, but for what I wanted it for its great. The very best part is the customer service!! I’m not very tech savvy, but Craig walked my through everything I needed. Even after multiple requests on my part he was always there with a quick reply even on sundays. Get this app. You’ll like it.Version: 8.2.2
✓ Feature suggestionLove this app. I use it exclusively for work in land surveying. I would love to see a feature that auto sorts pictures from the app into a designated folder in my phone. I am using it with an iPhone and the trouble is that google photos backs up all of my work photos along with personal ones. I can’t seem to find a way to keep them separate.Version: 6.1.2
✓ Latitude with photoA great ap to put latitude, elevation and longitude on a photo.Version: 6.0
✓ Brilliant little app for documenting locationsThe best I’ve found on the iPhone for documenting locations of objects with a photo using trigonometry features of where you are viewing with the camera and not just the gps lock of the camera/iPhone..Version: 9.0.1
✓ GreatHeaps of detail. Would be better if my iPhone had a tripod!.Version: 3.0
✓ Most Useful AppThis app replaces a compass and inclinometer for me. It means that when I go to a site, I only need to bring my iPhone, charged. In the past, I'd need a phone, camera, compass,pen, paper and inclinometer. Having a photographic record of slope angles is streets ahead..Version: 6.1.2
✓ Great funI have absolutely no use for this app but I find just amazing fun to play with - bit like sitting in a starwars ship whilst looking at all the numbers and dials - one day might actually get round to learning how to use it properly. But until then; play on :-).Version: 2.6.1
✓ Enjoying Theodolite for many yearsApp performs well, impresses many and essential to recording specifics about business related locations.Version: 8.2.2
✓ Great toolSo handy to have such a great tool to take out on site for quick pretty accurate readings. Strongly recommended for any Geotechnic engineer who has to complete site assessments.Version: 4.0.1
✓ ReviewGreat App, awesome to take a photo and email with all location and directional info included..Version: 6.0
✓ SuperbOne of the best apps, it’s a joy to use..Version: 6.1.1
✓ GreatAlmost perfect. It does everything it says it does very well. If only I had the option to create a 1 second interval track file within the app then I wouldn't have to keep swapping between Theodolite and a simple track logger when I was in the field collecting data..Version: 5.0
✓ Great app, HORRIBLE new icon!Don't be put off by the new horrible icon. I use this app all the time when I'm out walking, just for fun really, but has come in handy identifying landmarks when compared to maps. And the new screenshot and video functions are really quite useful for documenting a trip..Version: 3.0
✓ John-Paul ShawThis is a fantastic app. Currently surveying two parcels of lan for a land swap with my neighbour and the theodolite is totally invaluable for this. I also use it to find the satellites for freesat when we are away in the caravan as well as many other things. Fantastic. Well done!.Version: 5.0
✓ Well thought out app, thanksI first got this app while I was still working and living in Alaska several years ago. I use it now in the UK and am amazed no one over here has seen it. In Alaska it was very useful on many occasions at work and ended many disagreement on construction projects before they began. Thanks for a great app..Version: 6.1
✓ Perfect for my usesI have no real use for this app it’s just a toy for me. That being said I initially got the app for the emergency situation where having a range finder and compass would be useful. So far I’ve not needed it for that purpose but if I should need it for such an occasion I feel my bases would be covered with the tools provided within..Version: 6.1.1
✓ Great AppOoutstanding App well worth the money. You ‘ll need time to let it all sink. Getting it set up properly is the biggest challenge, but once set tracks your every step. It will provide more data than you might want but set it up for your personal needs. A little daunting at first in as much it’s capabilities are many. But you can use the tracker straight away . 5+ Stars.Version: 6.0
✓ ExcellentThis is super.Version: 6.0
✓ Theodo delightI am an engineer of some senior years and I use this app every time I go to site. The records are accurate enough to use for reports designs and court documents. Muck lighter to carry than a total station..Version: 6.1.1
✓ Simple way to view a siteI’ve use this app on many occasions to get an accurate overview of sites. As each picture is taken, the elevation, direction and position of the camera is recorded along with the angles, horizon, etc. This can then be plotted onto Google Maps or similar to present views around or with a site. Simple but very useful..Version: 6.0
✓ Theodolite ProFor anybody doing any land surveying for whatever purpose this is a superb application; so good that we bought an iPhone for a quarry manager just so he had Theodolite Pro available to hand. Instead of waiting for a surveyor (expensive and slow) to produce a survey, with an iPhone and Theodolite Pro he can do his own setting out and digging depths, and at the touch of a button send us an e-mail with the co-ordinates for the file, a Google Earth pin, and a photo with all the data attached. It is intuitive, simple yet powerful, informative and has never crashed on me. I absolutely love it. At this price buy it, even if only to show your friends in the pub what an iPhone app is capable of! Using data points you can also use it for simple GIS - e.g. recording tree locations, species, condition and export the data to a spreadsheet and the locations on Earth or Maps. It’s worth the price just for that..Version: 8.2.2
✓ Great App, but...Great app, but needs more map grids supported. A full screen view for IPad would also be fantastic..Version: 2.6.1
✓ This is really great appProduces very good results. Great work!!.Version: 6.0
✓ Excellent AppSuper great app for a variety of uses. 10 stars..Version: 6.0
✓ Really powerfulI only use a fraction of the capability. A great integration of the phone capability, maths and domain knowledge..Version: 6.0
✓ ExcellentHighly recommended..Version: 6.0
✓ CooolI like this app it is cool I like I.Version: 3.1
✓ Ingenious!!Inivative use of all the iPhone functionallity. I've yet to test the accuracy with a total station and I suppose that would determine if this is useful with any degree of confidence or just a novelty. Nonetheless still one of my most cherished apps! Bravo!.Version: 0
✓ Super diggemsAmazing app.Version: 8.2.2
✓ Complete and Accurate InformationOne of the best/handy Apps for Astrophotographers/Photographers! Very Accurate! I use it to plan my Astrophotography. I use it to check location suitability for imaging ahead of time and it has never let me down! I would highly recommend it :) LRSM99.Version: 5.0
✓ Great appI use this app for photographing mushrooms. Great for anyone who needs location to be stored with the image..Version: 5.0
✓ Works greatVery useful app.Version: 5.0
✓ Great app.Excellent app. The screen shots look great in my Bushfire Threat Assessment reports. The pics have all the geographical info that I need. Elevations are sometimes questionable but overall very satisfied..Version: 6.0
✓ Well designed multi functional appWorks well as a clinometer and useful for recording information on a photo relating to a specific place. I use it to map things like small infestations of invasive weeds on my ranch so I can come back later and deal with them. I don't need all of the capabilities and have tried several simpler apps, but keep coming back to Theodolite because it works better..Version: 5.0
✓ TheodoliteI have been using this app to record and report serious road hazards for many years now. All the information you could need recorded plus proof in the picture. Very helpful quick and impossible to repute..Version: 6.1
✓ Absolutely the BEST!The ability to have all this precise spatial and positional information overlaid on the cameras on my iPad Mini or iPhone is awesome. I use it to lay out foundations, navigate the old fashioned way with gps off, calculate distances using landmarks of known height, or the reverse, just for kicks. I have reviewed maybe half a dozen apps out of several hundred I have purchased. This one was certainly worth the time to heap praises upon it! Awesome app! Well done!.Version: 5.0
✓ GreatLove this app Straightforward to use Great for fieldwork I use it every time I’m out works well and is reliable Saves carrying compass, gps, and camera in the field.Version: 6.0
✓ Still pleasedWas really great, however the developer stopped updating Update:I apologize if I was hasty. Perhaps my issue is on my end. I have enjoyed this app for a long time, and always felt it was well worth the price. I especially appreciate that it works in remote areas. I always need it when I am far from service. I will see if I can address my issues from my platform. I should have done my homework beforehand..Version: 6.1.2
✓ Great appGreat app but the UTM coordinations are backwards..Version: 6.1.2
✓ Great with a few small flaws but it could be the phoneI love this app. Is great for construction work and works great without cell service. One thing I noticed is if I am inside a vehicle sometimes the compass is off, I read this can be the case and I’m not sure if there’s a way to fix it in the app or if this is more an issue with the phone itself. The other thing I noticed is sometimes the screen will load with all the technical information but the view finder will just be completely black. I have to close and restart it a few times before it works again. I’ve also had this same issue with my phones regular camera so I’m not sure if it’s App related or phone related. Happens more often than not in the app though. If these end up being just problems with the phone itself I would 100% give this a 5 star rating. But otherwise it is a very useful app, especially when time stamps and GPS locations are a must! It is also by far the cleanest Geotagging photo app I’ve seen. All the information is up in the corner and doesn’t take away from the main focus of the photo..Version: 6.1.1
✓ Best waypoint mapping app. Worth every pennyEasy to use, just takes a few minutes playing with it to figure out the basics. Theodolite Gives me way more info then I know what to do with. I am using it to do a tree survey on my land to figure out where I want to build. Easy 2 clicks to view all my data on google earth. Can't wait use it on a trip..Version: 5.0
✓ ExcellentThere’s few apps that keep me from switching from iOS but this is one.Version: 6.0
✓ Version 1.0 - Wow, cannot wait for the next version.This is a must have app. Everything works great on a 3GS. I agree with previous posts, the app needs a "switch" to toggle between the current picture and a full screen grab. Personally, I'd like to be able to TAG the picture with a short label that embeds into the metadata, but that's just a wish, also would be extra great if the app would access the "My Location" details of the 3GS and GEOTAG the picture with the GPS/GPRS suburb/locality tag. So much potential, KILLER APP and with a few mods, will make the top 10 list for MUST HAVE APPS, currently number 22 on my list. Keep up the great work. LOVE IT. Bill For v2.0, how about a video version, with overlay - UBER COOL!.Version: 0
✓ An excellent toolProvided of course that you make sure your phone compass is working correctly, with no steel nearby!. I made a crude support for my iPhone, and a laser distance measure to mount on the head of a Manfrotto tripod; a kind of very crude “total station” for a home driveway survey and drawings, but I neglected magnetic attraction between the phone and the laser, and the screws in my contraption. As a result all my bearings were useless! Not Theodolites fault of course! An excellent tool.Version: 6.0
✓ Great app. Must have if you work in construction.This app is great for layout of taking pictures of angles for reference. Well worth it..Version: 6.0
✓ *****Been using it for years. Excellent app!.Version: 6.1.1
✓ Wow!This is a great app. I use it for work almost every day. Bravo!.Version: 9.0.3
✓ Great terrain scoping companionPlenty of things to say. The ability to capture an image with all the overlays if positional info is the icing on the cake..Version: 6.1.1
✓ Surveying my worldI’m not a professional in any field where this is in constant use, but it has always been the right tool to use in special situations. Whether hiking and wanting a numerically geographic record of the landscape or conducting walking tours in the city and wondering about whether a particular building had a tilt, I always relied on my trusty app to provide the data. With so much information in the screen, it provides a factual and entertaining record that is useful for a long time..Version: 6.0
✓ Awesome appI never brought a compass and clino to the field after buying this. Good in documenting..Version: 3.1
✓ Keeping stored notesI love your app But I would like store a number of sites, which I could reuse, without loosing on add notes , can this be achieved Cheers Wayne.Version: 7.0
✓ Very useful appThe things you can do with it are fantastic..Version: 6.1.2
✓ Camera Doesn't Focus WellI love this app and all. I am a surveyor and it's great for showing where and what way you are taking the photo. Especially with the datums and SPCS. BUT, the camera needs to be worked on a bit. It needs to focus for light. I wanted to use this for when I was locating manholes. Would have worked great, but the photo wouldn't adjust for the darkness of the hole. Yes, even with the flash. Please fix this. You will then receive my 5 star..Version: 5.0
✓ UTM CoordinatesI shoot one of the control monument just to test the coordinates shown on the image and I got less than a couple meters from the published coordinates. My data was enable while using for this app..Version: 6.0
✓ Theodolite fully good bit of kit mate xxThis app I have had for well I was trekking around Peru colca canyon, Jamaica and some Spanish islands. Theodolite helped with locstats brilliant bit of kit.Version: 6.0
✓ Excellent appI have used Theodolite for work on several occasions. Each time, engineers are blown away with the info captured in photos - especially when dealing with identical equipment.... In my other life as a volunteer firefighter, Theodolite is useful as a mobile fire-spotting tower..Version: 5.0
✓ JohnGreat app love it.Version: 6.0
✓ Fun for the map-minded casual explorerReally enjoying the app. Uses for me include designing multi-stage geocaches where I need bearing and distance between points for the stages. Also was walking on the beach and was curious how far away a cell tower was, and the A-B feature made it easy to triangulate and see the estimated position on the map. The controls feel really responsive (for example the zoom in/out) and the UI is clear and easy to use. Love the translucent pillar that appears in the viewfinder to show you the location of the current active map point, and how it changes to a planted flag when you get closer. Also super easy to share out coords by copying the text-based log or by generating an email with coords and tagged photo. AR planet layer is neat, and I like how putting crosshairs on a planet causes a name label to appear..Version: 9.0.1
✓ Theodolite 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟Outstandingly Awesome 😎.Version: 6.0
✓ It’s cool.It’s cool!.Version: 6.1.2
✓ Very useful on the worksite!I work in land surveying and the drafters in my office love the annotations overlaid on the photos I take!.Version: 6.1
✓ TheodoliteGreat , easy to use , supplies more than enough info on the photos than I need ..Version: 6.1.2
✓ Versatile and functionalI use Theodolite for Search and Rescue. It makes transmitting geo locations very easy. The information I need is all readily available, allowing me to transmit in multiple formats as well. With cell tower connection one photo being sent takes out any possibility for error. I can also use it to get an estimate of slope for potential avalanche danger. Very well made app..Version: 8.2.2
✓ LOVE IT!GREAT APP FOR TAKING PICTURES AND RECORDING VIDEOS KNOWING THAT YOU WILL HAVE THE CORRECT COORDINATES FOR TIME, DATE, POSITION, ALTITUDE AND LOTS OF OTHER DATA..Version: 6.1
✓ The Best appFantastic app. The most accurate I have use. All features in one app.Version: 6.1
✓ WhewTook me a while to wrap my head around the usefulness of this app but now I use it every couple of days. 👍.Version: 6.1.1
✓ Amateur Survey GoldThis app allowed me to find corners and plot property lines in thick uncharted bush. And helped me find my way out again. Have also used it to mark drainage channels and contour lines. It’s smarter than I am and truly useful..Version: 9.0.2
✓ This Will Change Your Outdoor Life ForeverThis is the most awesome app ever conceived for outdoorsmen, hikers, bikers, hunters, relic & meteorite hunters, golfers and anyone who needs information about exact location (GPS), altitude/elevation, incline/dip & instant feedback plus (you get to add notes to your photos). I marvel at its features each time I use it. Kudos to its creators! It has more applications than I could ever use and I use a lot. Take the time to learn & it will change your outdoor life forever..Version: 6.0
✓ A great tool for documentationBack when I worked disaster recovery for the State, I used this extensively to document damaged infrastructure (roads, bridges, water treatment plants, etc) damaged by natural disasters. We could document the exact location of damage and take after-photos to show the damage had been repaired..Version: 9.0.3
