ArcGIS Earth 4+

Great Mobile App

Great alternative to that other Earth app but I would like to see some better iPad optimizations (Please add landscape mode and pencil support).

Major issues with UI

I really don't want data to show up on whos imagery im looking at and when its from every time i touch the screen. I just want to look at the data from the pins i imported from the USGS MRDS system. I can not select any pin i'm looking at, just a bunch of nonsense from MAXAR imagery pops up. Also as im trying to scroll around and look at things i constantly have the maxar info pop up unintentionally. The tool circle at the bottom when open has too large of an interaction box which makes it impossible to navigate around the imagery while its open as it tries to instead select tools instead of move the users view. Theres some very good features in the app but the user interface makes it almost useless to me. Some major fixes need to be made.

Sloppy effort given what we pay for ArcGIS

As a beta, I viewed the app as having potential. Ironically though, since its official release, it is just a waste of storage space. I have tested this app on every platform and, with the exception of IOS, I can see the content from “My Content” that is saved in ArcGIS online. On my iPhones (multiple), it shows no content. As there are far better apps for just viewing the world on a map, that makes ArcGIS Earth completely useless. What is the point if I cannot visualize anything more than canned data? BTW, ArcGIS Explorer for IOS easily displays the data from “My Content.” The issue is limited solely to this app and only since official release.
