This is one of the most useful apps I’ve ever come across. I use it almost every day for one thing or another. It is really helpful if you are looking at real estate - it gives you the owners name, a breakdown of the land type (how much is wooded, how much wetlands, how much open space...), deeded vs actual acreage, all kinds of great stuff. It also follows you as you walk around the property so you know exactly where the property lines are. My realtor and I are constantly finding mis-information in mls listings. The app Is really well laid out - navigating your way around is intuitive. It’s also kept up to date. I can’t say enough good things about this app. One thing to note - not every county has owner information so if you are looking for owner info in a specific county check your county before you buy this.
Thank you very much for the excellent feedback and the five star review! We love to hear how our app is useful to our users.
I guess the app is good for some information like owners and square footage, Maybe one central gps coordinated. The app is not good if one is trying to stake out their property and avoid hiring a high priced land surveyor. Which what I was trying to avoid. I was hoping this app would take the place of a land surveyor. The app just gives you a general idea where your property boundary line are but is not accurate. On my property there is no boundary stake or boundary pins, or on any of my neighbors property. To find the corners of your property you will probably still have to hire a land surveyor. I want to put up a privacy fence around my property , but also want to avoid building on my neighbors property and city property. Instead of hiring a $500 land surveyor to mark four corners of my property I downloaded this app thinking it would do that for me, it did no such thing. For 7 days of the free trial I tried everything available to me in the app to mark the corners of my property. I still don’t know where my property corners are. I have a general idea where the boundary lines are but not accurate enough to build a fence. Unless I don’t know what I’m doing on the app , then the apps a little more complicated then it states. After the 7 day free trial I deleted the app as I had no use for it. This app was useless for staking out your own property. Guess I’m just going to have to hire a land surveyor.
We apologize for this experience and the inconvenience.

I've been using this app for more than a year, and I've been very happy with it. Makes it very easy to find the corners of the property. However, I just found out that this app is using my phone's contacts. I had placed a negative comment in my review regarding this practice. I received a nice note from the company saying they "don't use or access your phone contacts unless you choose the option to email a link to a parcel." I guess that's a nice feature, and it's optional, so I withdraw my negative remark, and I continue to love and recommend this program.
We do not use or access your phone contacts unless you choose the option to email a link to a parcel. We are sorry for any confusion.
I can’t really decide how I want to rate it just yet, only because a few months ago my husband and I bought land and the app still hasn’t updated so it still doesn’t show our land on here in our names, my mother and father in law also bought some land the same time frame and it doesn’t show theirs. And my brother and sister-in-law have had their land for a couple years and it still hasn’t shown theirs.. I’m not sure why, but it’s weird... I love this app though because I can see who all owns land around us, or at least I hope that’s who it is... I also wish it would show how much land was selling for because the land next to ours just came up for sale and we don’t know how much they are asking or it’s worth... it would just be awesome if it could be updated for these few things to get fixed.
We appreciate all of the great feedback you have provided. The data behind LandGlide is a priority to us. We update 90% of our data annually and 70% more than once a year. If you would please contact us at support@landglide.com with your county/state, we would be happy to look into when the next update will be.
Went to known corners (by boundary survey) of my property and app was off by 25ft! Deleted app. Developer didn’t understand that their app is unreliable versus a physical boundary survey. Developers Response:"The accuracy of the property lines varies depending on different factors. In general, the newer a subdivision, the more accurate the mapped lines. In a newer subdivision, past five years or so, the lines are probably within 5 feet +/- of where they actually exist. In an older, more rural portion of the county, the property lines may not have been surveyed in many years. Those lines could have been mapped according to fence lines or other various assumed physical representations of where the property lines were thought to exist. Typically today, we rely on deeds and plats of record to map the property lines. In areas of concern, these records are checked to re-map areas that appear to be inconsistent. The property lines are certainly not "survey" accurate and are not intended to represent actual surveyed property lines"

As a real estate photographer, I find this app very helpful for finding my way around the properties I shoot. However, when I open the app it never shows my current location. The location crosshairs don’t seem to do anything, so I have to zoom out on the map, find the blue dot where I am and then gradually pinch back in to find the property I’m on currently. For an app I pay more than $120 for per year, I’d hope for it to work better. [RESPONSE TO DEVELOPER] Thank you for your response. My app was already set to allow tracking, although only when I’m using the app. I almost only open the app in the field when I’m working, but nevertheless the app almost always defaults my location to my home address, which is quite strange because, like I said, I almost never use the app at home. Clicking the location icon usually does nothing when I’m out in the field.
BE sure you are in the right mode to have LandGlide track you. First, be sure you have given LandGlide® permission to use the location on your device. Next, in LandGlide® in the lower right corner of the map view is a Location icon in a circle. Click the Location Icon once to have LandGlide® track you. When you do this, the Location icon will change colors; this means you are in Follow mode. If you click the button again, LandGlide will go into Compass mode; the Location icon will become an arrow.
I use this app almost every day and it’s a great app, but I’ve noticed that the GPS location is quite slow to acquire. Whereas other apps like Google maps or Apple Maps it’s very quick to acquire the location and it’s very smooth when driving when driving jumps around and is not very smooth, when following the GPS blue dot. it would also be nice to label a location and also to remove the label of location if you accidentally click on it. The labeling in the GPS location UI buttons are side-by-side, which can cause you to accidentally click on a label drop pin button when you mean to click on a GPS locate button.

I signed up for the free trial on this app. It is definitely a lot more expensive than Hunt on X. I really like the fact that they use up-to-date satellite imagery. This is some thing that Hunter onX does not do. I live on property that was originally surveyed. Very old-school. Rods and chains. Land glide does not show the property lines being exactly the same as where I know the corner markers are. Given the people that subdivided the land it is hard to say which will be right when I get it, surveyed professionally. This is not a site that I would be willing to pay $99 a year for but I may pay the $9.99 a month in the summer months. Overall I really like the site much better than hunt onX. Different app for different people. I like the fact that the free trial does not require any commitment or cancellation. Will definitely use this app in the future. Will recommend it to the people who own land around me.
I use this app on a regular basis. It can be very helpful in many ways in looking at parcels of land and who appears to own it. However, from personal experience I know that it’s not updated with current data very often. Our metro area has over 500,000 people and is one of the fastest growing areas in the country. I purchased a large tract of land in February, 2022, and the Washington County, Arkansas, county clerk updates their records daily. It’s now over 10 months since closing and Landglide still shows the previous owner. I can understand being behind by a month or two, but to have the app’s data out of date by almost a year is unacceptable. Other than this type lack of reliable data it’s fantastic though.

LandGlide is an awesome app that brings together basic public information. The consolidation of information is much better than trying to navigate every county’s website that may or may not be user-friendly. I am looking forward to LandGlide to charge less so more people can access the Public Information. I believe that $1 per month or $10 per year would be great. I do not support one time fees as then there is no incentive for the app developer to maintain the app/information. Also, I would appreciate the feature to save designated properties for future reference.
Thank you so much for your 5 stars. We appreciate your feedback and for using LandGlide. The app allows you to save properties by dropping a pin from the map screen. You can view these properties by clicking the Menu then Saved Locations.
