1. That can be so embarrassing when you're new to something and in a tight knit and smart community like rockhounding is, it would just be helpful to not worry about looking like an idiot to people a bit more legit sounding than I am currently when discussing our hobby via fb groups etcI was looking for an offline mineral ID app, but was mostly disappointed with what I found.
2. Thanks to Smart Mineralogist, I found out about a mineral named after a town 30km from where I live!I love discovering minerals I've never heard of.
3. I recommend this to everyone especially the newer folk just trying to identify a rock from their backyardThis is just the app I've been looking for, with the ability to identify minerals by physical and chemical properties.
4. Lots of additional information on mineralogy, the classification and physical properties of minerals.
5. I've learned so much from it and finally managed to find the name of my favourite mineral - gibbsite.
6. So far so good! However, I would like to see some way to hear each minerals name pronounced.
7. Lack of images a real pain though.Very poor, there is no detailed about any of the minerals.
8. Any chance you'll develop a "Smart Petrologist" app, too?Extremely friendly user interface with a huge directory.
9. Far more than a simple mineral encyclopedia.Dude. This is hands down the best.
10. Best app I've ever downloaded.A concise resource perfect for mineral lovers.
11. And very app I try is sooooo frustrating for a visual collector!Very impressed with this app, comprehensive, educational and easy to use.
