Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about SoilApp and how it can help your farming operations.
SoilApp is a mobile application that uses advanced image analysis and AI technology to analyze soil samples directly from your smartphone. Simply take a photo of your soil sample, and our algorithms will provide detailed information about soil composition, nutrient levels, and pH balance within minutes.
SoilApp offers a free basic tier that includes limited soil analyses per month. For farmers and agricultural professionals who need more comprehensive features and unlimited analyses, we offer premium subscription plans. As an EU-funded project, we're committed to keeping the app accessible to smallholder farmers.
SoilApp is compatible with most modern smartphones running iOS 14+ or Android 10+. For best results, we recommend using a phone with a camera of at least 12 megapixels. The app is optimized to work even in areas with limited internet connectivity.
Our AI models have been trained on over 30,000 soil samples and achieve 95%+ accuracy when compared to laboratory tests. While we recommend professional lab testing for critical decisions, SoilApp provides reliable guidance for day-to-day farming decisions and can help identify when professional testing is needed.
Yes, we take data privacy seriously. All data is encrypted both in transit and at rest. We comply with GDPR and other international data protection regulations. Your farm data belongs to you, and we never share individual farm data with third parties without your explicit consent.
Yes! SoilApp has offline capabilities. You can capture soil samples and store them locally when you don't have internet access. Once you're connected again, the app will sync and process your samples. Some AI features like the farming assistant require an internet connection.
After analyzing your soil sample, SoilApp automatically generates personalized fertilizer recommendations based on your soil's nutrient profile, the crops you're growing, and local climate conditions. You can also chat with our AI farming assistant for more specific advice.
