Fantastic. But I would love it if they made widgets for your phone that shows you what soil your standing on (not while I'm driving though).

Extremely useful for wild clay potters if you live in a city and don't have access to a surface clay deposit this app tells you what quality clay you will find and at what depth. The color estimates aren't always accurate but the depth and quality estimates are. This made a backyard clay mine totally a pheasable and easily accomplished goal that only took around 20-30 minutes.
