Review summary

Spartan Forge is praised for its detailed mapping, including LIDAR and UAV layers, superior accuracy, affordability, and excellent customer support. Users appreciate frequent updates and improvements. However, some users report slow or blurry map loading, outdated satellite imagery, paywall restrictions, and occasional account or login issues. The app could improve public land categorizations and enhance the measurement tool. Overall, it's considered a promising and valuable tool for hunting and outdoor activities compared to other apps.

Pros

Highly detailed and informative mapping features including LIDAR and UAV maps
Superior to competing apps like OnX and HuntWise, offering better accuracy in property lines and topographic overlays
Excellent customer service with responsive and helpful developers
Cost effective compared to other hunting apps without compromising quality
Constant updates and improvements based on user feedback

Cons

Maps sometimes load slowly or appear blurry even with good reception
Satellite imagery is not updated frequently and can be fuzzy especially in public or national forest lands
Some features are locked behind a paywall without previews, making evaluation difficult
Issues with account validation, login errors, and bugs reported by some users
Lack of detailed public land categorizations, such as state vs public hunting lands

2024-12-02	Je*****	This app is a massive letdown. The free trial offers no value, with maps that are outdated and blurry at best, Sat map 3 seems to be the newest and thats at least 2023. Most features are locked behind a paywall with no previews, making it impossible to evaluate. This app is unpolished and unhelpful in its current state. The devs do address issues so it's promising. I need to test more in DDIL states as thats how I'll be using it. If it doesn't work in my blind it's moot.

2024-11-23	Jo*****	This is the best and most informative app on the market. The prediction is spot on and nationwide historical maps is amazing. Lidar is also awesome. Can't recommend enough.

2024-11-22	St*****	Mapping it's now the best with the newest layer and the addition of 3D maps. Absolutely invaluable when it comes to GPS collard deer information. Helped me kill a big doe last year. I've used all the mapping apps, trust me. All around, this is probably the best one.

2024-11-13	Ch*****	I can't review the content because I can't access the app. First, after downloading, it asks me to accept the TOS. When I click, it is a broken link. I've emailed to ask with no reply. I finally searched the website and found them. After debating with myself because of all the marketing trackers, i decided to give it a try. I signed up this morning, only to receive another error that my account isn't valid. I give up. I un-installed it. I hope others will have better luck.

2024-11-08	Al*****	So far I really like the app. The LIDAR layer is fantastic; I found old trails that show as a slight depression in the LIDAR that are no longer documented which gives me much easier access to some hard to reach spots. I don't put too much stake into high-resolution satellite imagery as much as I used to when I first started out. One thing I would like to see added is an option to add optimal wind to a stand with a comparison to actual wind.

2024-11-04	Sa*****	I am new to Spartan Forge. Just in the couple weeks I have tried it, it is clear that there is an advantage over other apps. There are many more options as far as filters and map settings.

2024-10-02	Gr*****	Has some decent features but the maps never seem to load fully even when I have full reception. Maps often blurry and takes forever to get a clear picture of the land after opening and closing the app multiple times. Frustrating to use as who wants to open and close an app 3 or 4 times to get it to load correctly. Also doesnt show all public land like MFL land.

2024-09-30	Gr*****	Heard about this on the Cleared Hot podcast. What an awesome app!!! I don't hunt, but this app has so many uses and tools for any outdoor activity. How did this kind of app not happen sooner? HIGHLY recommend!
