User Reviews

Touch GIS offers strong offline mapping and flexible field-data tools, with ongoing development and good cross-format export options. However, consistency issues with large datasets and data exports, a steep subscription price, missing features (WMS, UTM search), and mixed support responsiveness temper its appeal for wide-scale projects.

Pros

Strong offline maps support with easy definition/import of maps and no 100 MB regional limit.
Powerful field data collection: drop and label points, notes, photos, sketches, lines, and tracks, usable offline.
Highly customizable feature classes and templates; copy-paste lists speed setup and ensure consistent data design.
Supports exporting to common GIS formats (CSV, SHP, KMZ, GeoJSON) and importing vectors/raster for desktop workflows.
Active development with regular updates and responsive improvements based on user feedback.

Cons

Export and data-sharing can be unreliable: CSV/SHP exports can fail and sending points/files to clients may not work.
Performance issues with large datasets: crashes or auto-closing when opening big projects.
High recurring cost: roughly $300/year subscription; many users want a non-commercial or educational license.
Missing advanced GIS features like WMS services and UTMs coordinate search.
Some users report slow or no responses from developers for support or bug fixes.

Recent reviews

Our company began using Touch GIS last year after using Garafa’s GIS Pro app for over a decade. We’ve used it for data collection for thousands of miles of corridors, spanning steep ridges, plains and public and private lands. GIS Pro was very efficient, but with iPadOS updates, it was struggling to keep all the UI buttons, windows and icons from running off the screen or disappearing. Behind the scenes, I was putting in a lot of effort to keep the data collected clean and uncorrupted from encoding mismatches. When using GIS Pro, I’d have to use the app on an iPad mini v1 running iPadOS 8 to create an exportable offline container file. Exporting the ‘cregion’ file would make every other GIS Pro app crash if it were running a newer iPadOS. I’d have to AirDrop these files to newer iPads for cloud distribution. Switching to Touch GIS was very easy. The interface and workflow are similar to GIS Pro. Interactions are smooth, and creating feature class templates is far more flexible. Making detailed drop-down lists used to take hours. Now you can copy and paste lists from field to field and make edits quickly. Offline maps are easy to define or import, with no 100MB limit per region. Attribute table text is reliably exported using UTF-8 encoding, eliminating the mojibake issues we faced previously. Our field workers have used multiple apps from Esri and others, but far and above, prefer to use Touch GIS when creating or viewing GIS data. Because fields have greater flexibility and we haven’t had to rely on other apps like Excel, we’ve been able to significantly increase our data collection and processing efficiency. The developer has been exceptionally responsive. Several improvements we requested—like enhanced offline mapping and UTF-8 compliant exports—were implemented quickly. It’s clear Touch GIS is actively developed and will continue to evolve. While the app is free to install, exporting data to Shapefile, GeoJSON, KML, GPX, CSV, and other standard formats requires a subscription. If you need a GIS app for work or research, probably the best way to decide to use Touch GIS would be to subscribe for a month and test out its abilities.
