Please add more minerals!! Just 29 are not enough. It's a really entertaining tool to learn them. At least 150 important minerals must contain.
It has accurate information and it's fast and efficient! But one thing it's that there is a lot of different minerals out there but the app only has like 29. Please add more!
As cited in previous comments, many specific errors...here's another...use of sphalerite "jewelry" !...how about zinc production and galvanizing. App to be trusted only in a very limited way.
Wont load info and crashes on a Galaxy s3 :-( uninstall
please add more things :)
Helpful! This helped me to memorize some minerals and their characteristics :)
It's well developed application it also help mineralogist identify minerals.
It is very useful for basic learners.. I suggesting one that please add some more minerals to this app...
I am studying second year in ME so it is useful for me thanks a lot
It is very helpful to work with this app.
It s really easy to use
It is very good app
Key fits and opens what you need open
Thanks its cool
Nothing works
Useful only as a narrow the field tool. Do not take results as gospel. Also, let the different terms for non-metallic lustres enter your life! Vitreous, silky, adamantine are far more useful!
So..., fun stuff but statements like dolomite is pink is totally WRONG! Dolomite CAN be pink but not always. There are a number of these inconsistencies. If you are a serious mineralogist or seriously interested in the subject visit the MinDat. - Carl Harris
Don't know how it is but I will still give it 5 stars even it may have flaws as I appreciate your work and efforts you put on coding this app that's very very nice of you and really thankful
It is a best app for geology students thanks to developer
Thank's for this application
good app, but only 29 minerals in database
Please add more minerals. Thanks.
To limited to be of any real use. Which is a shame considering android users have no real mineral app worth its salt. This app has potential but 29 minerals is just no where near enough.
It has a lot of potential. Some obvious bugs. Lack of info for the minerals. But it has potential if the developer keeps with it....
Only 29 minerals. And as stated by previous comments. ... some properties are off or not completely correct.
The quiz answers were wrong a lot.
Clean simple structure in the app, but database is severally limited.
Kept crashing. Missing tons of fairly common minerals. Beryl? No mention of beryl? Schorl? Zeolites? Fun for kids and beginners perhaps. Not for serious rockhounds. Also, did I mention it kept crashing?
This contains a very limited variety of minerals. Virtually useless if rock hounding or trying to identify stones found in the field.
