"Language" set to auto-System, and GPS power usage to moderate (no effective choices here) Other than these 2 issues, works great! A short description/instruction WITH the app would be appreciated. Many thanks.
this app really helps me when I need my photographs locationt to be accurate. One improvement would be to make the start/stop button change color to reflect its state.
If your using apps like (Huntstand) gps hunting app this will in increase GPS accuracy quite a bit thanks.
Really does make a difference. It is battery intensive, so best used sparingly with a charger handy or constant USB connected in the car.
The GPS on my Note8 would not lock on a signal...and when I used Strava the signal bounced all over. I tried multiple fixes and finally ActiveGPS fixed it! Thank you!
This app solved the problem of apps like Waze and Google maps not able to connect to gps. Probably drains battery but I can navigate again. Thumbs up
Worked well on previous phone but now keeps switching off constantly. (Nokia 6.1 on AndroidOne) In effect, it's now useless. Uninstalling.
This app is amazing. I was having issues with my gps, I work downtown Chicago (postmates) and this helped greatly. Thanks for this app
Cant exit the app after the new update today.notification stays even if i force kill the app. previous version was able to exit the app.pls add a exit button if possible. Thk u
Can't get past the Are you ready for the launch screen.
Cant lauch the app..πππ
EXACTLY what I was looking for. I use this app to enhance my documentation processes (photos, etc.). Two thumbs WAY UP!!
Works well with "google maps, and "waze". Quickly picked up gps signal!
Helps gps work a little faster. Turns on by itself for no reason.
Didn't work for my Waze app. Still took 5+ minutes to lock on.
Boost the GPS speed quite obviously, after i try other 3 apps, finally!!
This app I have tested in Sensor speedo meter. It does not boost anything.
Before it was working well then suddenly my o.s update and now, few minutes it was time out..
works well on oreo, now it sometimes auto switch off (after update to pie).
Just curious, why does it need 10Mb of storage?
does this solve twitter delayed notifications? (gcm related issue) and is it compatible with android one ui?
Provide updates for this app please .Can be very helpful when required.
The app doesn't lock gps at Doze Mode
This app has been amazing for years. It no longer works after a recent update. It has permissions allowed and is set to never sleep. Hopefully it is a bug that can be quickly resolved.
