## Review summary

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.
