They’re very responsive when any issues have come up. I’d highly recommend both them and the FM system to anybody! Pros The FM system and customer support is excellent. Cons Nothing! I’ve had a great experience with them. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

MN Makrem N. professeur Food Production ### "Forest Metrix en deux mots " 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 7/10 January 23, 2022 Pros produit pour un prix raisonnable. Le fait qu'il s'agisse d'une application sur iPhone signifie que je n'ai pas besoin d'acheter un collecteur de données portable supplémentaire Cons Je dois coller des données dans des feuilles de calcul Excel chaque fois que je prépare des rapports Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

AU Anonymous User Communications Director Environmental Services ### "Best option for WYSIWYG" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 August 16, 2018 WYSIWYG coding is really tricky, and I think they still have plenty of bugs to work out. Overall though, it's a good option for small nonprofits. I wouldn't use it if I had any budget to hire a real designer unless they knew how to go in there and code things so I could just use the user-friendly interface. Pros You can make really attractive, professional-looking websites without much design experience. They have some really good templates. Cons It's hard to make any changes to the templates, and it can be hard to figure out how the templates work and finagling them to make your site look as good as the demo. You can't change things like header photo size, which I want control over. And as you're making changes to your site with a new template, it publishes all of those changes to the current live site even though it says it won't.

Pros I like its easy to use interface and display layout. The reports it is able to produce are also really useful and easy. Cons I don't like its lack of functionality outside of iPhones and iPads. It is fairly costly, but it does do what it purports to well.

It has everything that I need." 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 0/10 February 16, 2018 Pros It has everything you need in a forestry software and the fact that you can use it on a device like and iPad of iPhone that you can use outside of forestry makes it that much more useful. It is very simple to use and accomplish all of my goals and it is a very good program to use. Very nice user interface on a big screen. Cons The only downside is the gps capability. It is by no means bad, but I find I need to use another gps to accomplish everything I would need a gps to do. The gps functionality is limited to the inventory. I have had no issues getting gps data off of the software.

I can calculate everything right in the field with the tap of a finger. Even estimated values of the timber. Pros So many features and functions, and after playing with it, to get to know the software, very easy to use. And you can use it on your ipad, which is great with mapping apps and built in gps. Cons It takes a few trial runs to get to know the software, which it does with any new piece of equipment. Some of the excel reports might scare you at first, but they can be customized to fit your needs.

I really like the fact that it is used on an iphone app!" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 February 15, 2018 Saves time with data processing Pros Great product for a reasonable price. The fact that it is an app on the iphone means I don't have to purchase an additional hand held data collector. Cons I wish I could save templates for common reports that I write. I have to paste data into excel spreadsheets every time I prepare reports Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.

Donn actually customized the software to include my volume tables. Very nice. Cons Too many steps when setting up a new cruise in mixed stands. It would be nice to have tree species available in some form similar to what is found in ICruise Pro.

You can take pictures associated with plots. Moving plots between stands is easy. Cons It is currently difficult to collate non-tree data from sample points. Exporting photos is difficult and they aren't tagged by plot.

Pros Ease of use in the field and customization for my own methodology. Very wide choice of features. The power of using an iPad and all of its compatibility.
