Theodolite HD Customer Service

We use Theodolite to take pictures of cemetery headstones and other family history sites to augment our family history information. The imprinted information helps others locate historical site more accurately rather than from notes like near the big tree, near a gate, along the third driveway, etc. Since most cellphones have GPS capabilities, a Theodolite picture can help someone find a relevant place more easily. Also, as the chairman of a small cemetery, I take a picture of each headstone and place that picture in the plot file. Now I can respond to an inquiry with a photo that has the location information. Thank you to the folks who make Theodolite, what a great tool.

First of all, this app has a beautifully executed and intuitive user interface. IMO, everybody, even if they never leave the city, need to know the basics of how to use a map and compass. If a 12 year old Boy Scout can, so can you. It might even save your life one day. This tool is so easy and pleasant to use that practically anyone who took middle school geometry will know how to use it without even looking at the help. But “what use could I possibly have for it ?” you ask. Look around, you’ll see. If nothing else it’s a fun way to help a kid understand geometry, which is essential knowledge, like knowing how to add and subtract.

I bought this my Nav App back when it was iPhone 4 and it’s always one of the first apps I download now. If you’ve ever wanted to get your bearings, this is THE go to app. Easy to use, and packed with features ensure you won’t get lost, or can pinpoint that particular spot repeatedly. Take multiple readings to find that specific point in 3D space. I dream that one day this interface will be overlaid with the interface for FILMic Pro to make an advanced professional camera for Cinema shooting.

I have had this app for several years and they keep upgrading it and making it even better. We have used it many times. Example making gold mine boundaries, or finding property lines, or getting info for earth excavation, or seeing if something is horizontal. It has proved very accurate and well worth keeping on the pad/phone. I can not say enough about my joy using this app. Makes many jibes very easy.

Love the app. Use it for photography scouting on iPad. Please update and include user definable film frame that can simulate various lens focal lengths and chip or film sizes. Right now it is just wide angle and it would be so much more helpful for simulations. The pictures could be used for story boarding feature films as well. Right now I want to simulate a location shoot for a year away of a total eclipse of the sun that includes a unique landscape as the foreground.

I'm not I. The habit of writing reviews , in fact I think this is my second one . The app is pretty good for what it is , however I have one underlying complaint the in app purchases chiefly buying tiles . The state plane coordinates I can understand, the amount of tiles necessary to do even the simplest task is Too outrageous. Cmon guys . Really . Yes I understand it takes time and money to produce a worthwhile app but you could up the amount of tiles needed to cover a decent survey grid .then I would give you 5 stars .

There are too few apps that live up to the quality of this one. To the developers, thank you. I hope you can keep pace with all the iOS updates. Thank you all! Keep the fine work up. Should you choose to expand into some elaborate audio recording that joins the video recording it could greatly expand the abilities and usefulness of the excellent application.

Been using this at sea for the past several years and am always impressed. Can be used for celestial navigation finding gyro error. Debating whether or not to request a speed readout or not, but that may cause too much clutter on the display and not needed for terrestrial navigation or surveying. All in all a great app.

I'm a geologist and I've been using this on both my iPhone and iPad since it first came out. It's excellent! I use it in the field all of the time to document projects as well as perform basic surveying. The updates are timely and the speed to take the screenshots is great. Oh and I also use this when I go hiking and camping.

I’m an attorney. It’s a magnificent site to take pictures with absolute proof of where, when and all possible specifics of the shot. If I have one tiny issue, it’s that occasionally the camera is upside down and won’t flip. It may be the iPad’s fault and not Theodolite’s; but I can live with that.

As I travel quite a bit, just being able to check out the ‘Altitude’ on a moments notice, as well as documenting your location is really handy- Also, being able to transmit my location to my friends is important to me!

Theodolite is unique in all the data it supplies. If you have a need for establishing location points, elevation and perspective, it fulfills all these functions. The camera feature makes record keeping easy and accurate.

I am an application developer and this is the only application that I have purchased for my iPad. The functionality of watermarking photos with all of the date, time, position and viewpoint data makes this a killer app for natural resource professionals and wildland fire fighters.

This is a wonderful field tool. It is flexible and easy to use. Being able to photograph a site with detailed site data overlaid is fabulous! This is a tool that everyone who does any work or sports outdoors. From archaeologists to zoologists this is a must have app!

There are times when I need this app and there aren’t any others that can come close. One of the first Photo apps that I ever installed, and I am still using it. Its wonderful for surveying features in the historic cemetery that I manage.

Used this app for celestial navigation, running fix on the Moon and Jupiter, one shot on Aldebaran. Error only 28 miles to SW, less than 1/2 Degree. Would be better in non light polluted area with more practice. (Second try): 17 mile error to SSW, running fix on Moon and Jupiter.

I find that it is very easy to take photo which tells me the time of day,location, elevation and the view. I use it when traveling to record the locations on trips and events.

This app makes the job as an Accident Investigator much easier not having to spend so much time gathering the information that is provided with one picture.

Has many useful features particularly the ability to add date/time and notes to the picture itself.

Thanks for the quick fix. 5 stars!

I've had this app on my iPhone and iPad for several years. It's one of the most precise and impressive apps I own. Every time I use it I discover some new feature or technique I can use.

The app has become very useful for improving my field notions and data gathering! Very pleased with and recommend for anyone wanting to develop better standards of field data documention.

Excellent software. Very versatile and packed with data capabilities I can and do use frequently. Extremely useful for recording positional attributes of any point of interest.

This is a very useful app. It has excellent features, is fairly intuitive, and very powerful.

...but the help app is lucid and well thought out. Augurs well. More when I’ve done more. I appreciate the author keeping the app up.

Easy to learn, easy to use! Please add option of setting different color flags instead of just red ones. Thank you!

Offline Maps! Finally.

For the time I've used this app it has worked great for on the spot measurements. I combined it with Geocoded digital photography while we travel.

This is far and away the best GPS app I own... And I own a lot of GPS apps. I do a lot of field work for my work. The Theodolite app is my favorite and MotionX (on my iPad) is my next favorite.

I tried thinking what needs to be added or improved, and I came up with nothing. This app is awesome

This app does it all if you are looking for GPS position, altitude , levels and a compass. Easy to use. Best in this category I have seen

Impressive in looks and operation. Very helpful in quickly documenting site facts for sharing.

Really cool product that shows the power of an iPad and some pretty cool programmers. Looking forward to using this app.

I use Theodolite regularly, both personally and in my job. Highly recommend it.

Great app, I have recommended it to several people.

Very useful for rough locations. I also use it for some demonstrations when teaching surveying.

Where could you buy a device with this sophistication for $3.99.

Theodolite just keeps getting better. Great for field studies.

From picture hanging to landscaping there is no end to the ways you can imagine to use this app. Great fun!

...but when you do, it has just about every tool you need for measuring the world around you.

I use this tool in my damage assessments, as well as landing coordinates for medical helicopters. Great tool easy to access.

This is absolutely wonderful for a great quick survey. Easy to use. Very intuitive.

Have uses it for years for field navigation.

Very useful for relating landscape features to maps

Fantastic app and even better customer support!

It does a lot of things like a surveyor transit will do. Very handy.

This app consistently impresses me every time I use it.

Needs simplified.

Incredible app

Photos in reports look fantastic with info imprinted

This app is useful if you want to have the coordinates of a photo appear on an image.

Très bonne application. La précision d’altitude pourrait être améliorer

An excellent with even better customer service!

Since finding Theodolite I have used it more than the device camera, each photo has a wealth of useful reference data which comes in handy when writing up your field notes If you work outdoors it's a must have app

... I am surprised that there are separate versions to purchase for the iPhone and iPad. I have made great use of this app on my iPad mini, and finally moving to an iPhone was disappointed that this was the only app of many that did not come over to the new device without purchasing it a second time. If, for whatever reason, there were capability differences between the platforms, I would understand, but it seems they are identical. This is the sole reason that I did not rate this as five stars ( and would give it six for the unique abilities it has), and would happily change it from four to five if the two versions were sync he'd together.

Does everything I need for around the property

It's an invaluable tool for scouting and with the aid of an iPad stand it's even possible to use as an electronic transit.

I use this app regularly. Particularly useful for my landscape photography.

As soon as I downloaded the update I have not been able to bring up Theodolite. I use it for work all the time and am wondering if it is an update issue. Up to this point I have been real happy with the product and have had numerous friends purchase it.

That ability to store geo tagged photos which includes elevation and compass bearing has been transformational in the construction industry. Used as evidence, there is no longer an opportunity for argument over when or where something captured in the photo happened. These features are invaluable.

Does so much it's a tool box of Profesional tools for $6.99 my biggest problem is understanding the wonderful tool. It's a great app buy it!!!

This is a fantastic app for anyone who has to do field inspections where photo documentation is required. It is now a must have app for all my field staff and is recommended by more and more land based consulting companies in the area. The captions on the photos can be tailored to capture only the data you need for the work you do.

I use this app all the time. By far one of my favs. Awesome app!

Very useful and worth every penny.

Excellent app. Nice and powerful

Fun app, great little tool

Thorough and well put together. Well worth the money

Sniper range scale a great addition!

Works great! Helps me save technical data photos of areas or places I want to remember.

No disappointment !!!

It will be one of the bests apps you have. You won't be disappointed.

Works exactly as stated - use it all the time - beats all other products in its class.

Very cool app, works great!

Super app

Magnifique application, il faudrait considérer ajouter de l'information relative. Je la conseille à toutes mes connaissances. Bravo !

Very nice app to use!

I've always liked this app for site survey of local obscura and the like. Since they added the offline map function I thought it would be a great hiking add (like a GPS). I like using my iPad as a GPS even though I know its big. the large screen is really nice for looking at the local terrain. The capability to download offline maps is very attractive so I bought 100,000 tile credits for $15 to download maps for hiking. I defined the area of one local park/hiking are to download and found that 100,000 tiles was not enough! I did a test and found I need about 10 tiles just to cover an area the size of my house and yard. A fine app but does not make dollars and sense for the average hiker. For $100 I can buy detailed maps for my GPS that cover NM, AZ, UT, and CO. At Theodolite prices, $100 would buy offline maps for about 1 county

Hi, I have encountered a problem using this app on the iPhone X. After using the Theodolite app(version 6.0) to snap a photo, I cannot get out of the app unless I power off the iPhone X. I cannot use the swipe mechanism to exit the app. There is no button on the iPhone X for exiting. So I am stuck in the Theodolite app until I shutdown and restart the iPhone. This is truly a pain. Can this be fixed? Thanks

I'm not real happy I paid for this on my iPad and would have to pay again to use it on my iPhone 6+. Also have to pay for maps, pay for state plane coordinates, pay, pay, pay....

After nearly a year of development, the iPhone and iPad apps are still separate apps. With iCloud becoming standard amongst developers this could have been hugely beneficial for this app. As of now, if you want datum packs, you need to pay twice for both of your devices. If you want team tracking, pay twice. If you add markers on your phone, you won't see them on your iPad. And so on.... The fit and polish of the app is superb. I feel confident that my measurements are as accurate as the device can give. Nonetheless, there is no excuse for not merging both apps. They look exactly the same. It's not like there was a different tablet UX.
