Description

From the listing uploaded by “split-store”.

This app is made for geologists and geology students that need help in the day to day identification of minerals, but it may also be interesting for normal people when it comes to learn more about mineralogy and how minerals are identified. The app uses different attributes to help you identify minerals, for example a combination of streak, luster, color, crystal system, density, hardness and cleavage. We would appreciate it if you tried contacting us about eventual bugs before leaving a bad review on the app store, so we may have a chance of correcting the error first. although it is of course always up to you to make the final decision about what fits a review, and what fits an error/bug report. Thank you for trying out our app! Disclaimer: The app is only available in English! Identifying minerals can never be 100% accurate using an app.

Mineral Identifier APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the Mineral Identifier APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is c7451deb382ba825ad57ef87f2f1cbe5.
