LandGlide: Parcel & Field Maps

This is one of the most useful apps I’ve ever come across. I use it almost every day for one thing or another. It is really helpful if you are looking at real estate - it gives you the owners name, a breakdown of the land type (how much is wooded, how much wetlands, how much open space...), deeded vs actual acreage, all kinds of great stuff. It also follows you as you walk around the property so you know exactly where the property lines are. My realtor and I are constantly finding mis-information in mls listings. The app Is really well laid out - navigating your way around is intuitive. It’s also kept up to date. I can’t say enough good things about this app. One thing to note - not every county has owner information so if you are looking for owner info in a specific county check your county before you buy this.

I guess the app is good for some information like owners and square footage, Maybe one central gps coordinated. The app is not good if one is trying to stake out their property and avoid hiring a high priced land surveyor. Which what I was trying to avoid. I was hoping this app would take the place of a land surveyor. The app just gives you a general idea where your property boundary line are but is not accurate. On my property there is no boundary stake or boundary pins, or on any of my neighbors property. To find the corners of your property you will probably still have to hire a land surveyor. I want to put up a privacy fence around my property , but also want to avoid building on my neighbors property and city property. Instead of hiring a $500 land surveyor to mark four corners of my property I downloaded this app thinking it would do that for me, it did no such thing. For 7 days of the free trial I tried everything available to me in the app to mark the corners of my property. I still don’t know where my property corners are. I have a general idea where the boundary lines are but not accurate enough to build a fence. Unless I don’t know what I’m doing on the app , then the apps a little more complicated then it states. After the 7 day free trial I deleted the app as I had no use for it. This app was useless for staking out your own property. Guess I’m just going to have to hire a land surveyor.

I use this app almost every day and it’s a great app, but I’ve noticed that the GPS location is quite slow to acquire. Whereas other apps like Google maps or Apple Maps it’s very quick to acquire the location and it’s very smooth when driving when driving jumps around and is not very smooth, when following the GPS blue dot. it would also be nice to label a location and also to remove the label of location if you accidentally click on it. The labeling in the GPS location UI buttons are side-by-side, which can cause you to accidentally click on a label drop pin button when you mean to click on a GPS locate button.
