You depend on rocks for many things so wouldn’t it be nice to know more about them? This application provides a starting point for learning about rocks without being a course in geology. A small collection of common rocks is provided with photographs and descriptions. There are five quizzes of increasing difficulty, that you can use to test your knowledge about rocks, before or after, looking at the information provided. Most of this collection comes from Scotland but the same rock-types occur world-wide.

Field geologist
This app is too general, and there are too many common rocks missing. The quiz is misleading by using words like often, when the answer just isnt true. Rating: as an intro app, 2 to 2.5 out of 5

Something is wrong
Just downloaded this app and it does not open. Someone needs to investigate why this app doesnt open on an iPhone six with the latest software as of May 12, 2016. I noticed several other people have complained about this app crashing. Whats up Doc?

Not bad but could be better
This app has good information and a fun quiz section too. I am a geology major so I may be a little bias. Better pictures and more information for identifying rocks in the field would be helpful. For 2.99 you would think there was more to it. But over all Im not sorry I got it. Geology rocks!
