Description
The SoilWeb for Android application accesses soil survey information (the SSURGO dataset, published by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service) at your current location.
This app was designed to be a lightweight version of the SoilWeb GMap web application. SoilWeb GMap features an interactive map for viewing and querying individual map units, while this app does not. However, SoilWeb for Android conveniently provides a link to the SoilWeb GMap web app.
SoilWeb GMap is available at https://casoilresource.lawr.ucdavis.edu/gmap/index.php
More information about SSURGO is available at https://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/detail/soils/survey/geo/?cid=nrcs142p2_053627
Features of SoilWeb for Android include:
- Soil profile sketches, estimated proportions, and geomorphic position of soil components associated with the SSURGO "map unit" identified at your current location.
- Map unit aggregate data such as estimated water holding capacity.
- Links to Official Series Descriptions (OSDs) generated automatically.
- Component links to related web apps: Series Extent Explorer (SEE) and Soil Data Explorer (SDE).
- Link to the SoilWeb GMap web application at your current location.
- Location accuracy setting allows you to select between standard accuracy (less accurate, uses less battery power) and high accuracy (more accurate, but may use more battery power).
- Location auto-refresh feature allows you to continually look up soil data at a specified time interval.

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 feasible and easily accomplished goal that only took around 20-30 minutes.

Very easy to use and as a professor, I appreciate how simple it is to teach students how to use the app and soil.
★★★★☆Jon M· Oct 16, 2022
Other than an issue with dark mode (or at least an issue with the Samsung implementation of system-wide dark mode) on the opening page, where the background is dark gray and the text is an only slightly lighter gray that is very hard to read, this app is an excellent extension/ update of the web soil survey and the SURGE soils database. 4 stars only because of the dark mode issue.
★☆☆☆☆Joshua Bennett· May 21, 2024
Not great, the location is way off (saying Galt instead of Stockton for instance) and most of the text is unreadable.
★☆☆☆☆Tyler H· Feb 23, 2025
You can't specify a location other than your own/current with this app, which makes it largely useless as a mobile version of the web tool. Might still be useful for people going out and about to do field work who want data on the spot they are currently geolocated in, but as a general reference tool, this missing feature cripples its utility. Also doesn't appear to work with only "approximate" data access; it only works with "precise" location data access.
