Provides an incredible amount of detailed information in an easy to read format, with a lot of extra utility beyond just knowing exactly where you are: It's also a great way to make sure your compass is calibrated right and your device's motion sensors and GPS receiver are functioning correctly. The night mode display theme uses red, which is great for preserving your low light vision. And the ad-free version (with extra features that I haven't even tried yet) is super cheap. Very worthwhile!
I've been using this app reliably since 2014 on a multitude of different devices, it's simply the best app ever to keep your phone's GPS running and calibrated. With this app, i know my GPS is accurate and ready to use when immediately. Yes, it occasionally adds to your overall battery consumption, but the little bit it adds is miniscule compared to the speed and value it delivers!
I paid for this app because it is effective. I would rate it highly except recently it started sharing my personnal data. If this does not change immediately, I am going to uninstall it! Bad - Norton says it shared private data! What happened to my paid for version? I dont need updates like this one. It will be removed if there is not a good answer and response.
Love this app (Pro version). I use it for kayak touring. It's smooth, reliable and clear. If i was to suggest any additional feature it would be the ability to sequence waypoints automatically, so that as soon as a WP was reached (within a preset radius), the next WP was targeted. Great job.
I lost my Pro version following a phone upgrade and was expected to pay for it again. This seems unfair and the previous purchase should surely be linked to my Gmail account. I have emailed the developers and had no response. Poor.
Using the AGPS reset function fixed my GPS issues on S8+ that started recently that were not fixed by firmware update or restarts or anything else I tried... which was a lot of things. So, Thank you! I would suggest making this option easier to find because the first time I downloaded this app I didnt actually find that option and just uninstalled it.
Works fine for my needs. Downloading the gps constellation data is a massive time saver when trying to grab signals indoors. Any gps speedbumps have more to do with how my stock S5 handles the gps radio and data. I wouldnt put too much faith in the angle indicators, but again that has more to do with the hardware platform than the app. Does what it says on the tin.
Trusted and reliable GPS tool that I've used for years. Just a few annoying UI issues: 1) screen layout is not optimised for aspect ratio of 20:9 for newer phones so only half the screen is used and 2) the menu covers the compass dial when it is revealed, which seems outdated and poor design. Perhaps a legacy of small screens
This spp is AWESOMENESS!!! I was able to use it in several situations lately. The GPS in my cell wasn't working right so it was throwing off LYFT, UBER, anything that uses the GPS built into ur cell. Ttl nightmare. Used this app to help resolve with carrier tech support that it was in fact my cell & btw a manufactory issue. The other issue was home improvement proj. Needed a level ASAP but it was on another floor, i grabbed my phone. DONE in no time.
This app is very good, however, my phone doesn't have magnetic sensor and while the screen compass showed correct direction when moving, it automatically snaps to North whenever i stopped, no matter where i was pointing. that's a serious fault, in my opinion. It should stayed pointing where it was.
It's a great tool. Has everything you need and nothing you don't. Allows you set and change the most important GPS reciever settings. This app can use the GPS sensor only, without A-GPS (assisted GPS by cell towers for a faster fix). Not many NAV apps let choose between A-GPS and pure GPS. Before you head into the wilderness you can download the newest A-GPS data for a faster satellite fix later when you need it. You can also pre save waypoints. Love the simple NAV rose.
Its perfect. Ignore the bad reviews they are from people who don't understand how this works. It shows you info like compas, altitude, longitude and latitude. It can open in a small window and be used with a GPS map. It's perfect for what I need.
I've been using this app for years for multiple reasons. One of the big reasons was for the color temperature function. However... this function does not work with a note 9, note 8, S8, S8 plus.. etc. Any reason why? - UPDATE - It's been many months since my review and I'm still waiting for an answer to my question. One star removed.
I have used this app for years on an older device, but it is now getting buggy and needed to reinstall it, but wont let me because i have Android 4.0.3 and it wont run on the older hardware anymore! This developer seems to have a history of breaking a perfectly good app with updates you don't need! Don't waste ANY money buying anything from them! A while ago i would have given them a great review but i just CAN'T anymore, sorry to say!
Like so many other have said, I too used to love this app, and used it quite frequently. BUT now after up grading my phone to an S9 and the latest version of android the install notice says that it's no longer compatible with my phone. Rather sad and very annoyed, and yes I had PRO key.
My Moto G 6 Plus, like my G 3 before, seems to be equipped with dodgy (ie unreliable) GPS hardware (or driver's?). It has rarely connected right away to the satellites. Confounding the issue is "battery optimization" which causes issues. Nonetheless, a few days ago I couldn't get a fix on my phone when I was outside and sky unobstructed. Since uninstalling this app, early results show more reliable satellite connections. But, I have no way of knowing where lies the root cause.
Love this app. Makes working and sharing GPS data easy. Lots of extra and useful features. Never gives me any probs after years of Pro license use. Unfortunately I started using my phone on my motorcycle in landscape mode and this app does not support landscape.
I seem to have lost visibility of Galileo satellites. They had been showing until recently. Not sure if this is phone, app or some other reason. Nokia 8 with Android 9. Edit: scratch this, it's just taking the Galileo satellites a little longer to show up.
Time tested. All of the info you need and none of the fluff you don't. Fast, reliable and essential install if you ACTUALLY want to utilise your GPS. Don't give 5 star reviews so it's 4 stars plus an extra one for the suprisingly handy built in bubble level!!
This app presents an easy to absorb visualisation of all the nav and positioning data that you'd typically need. I find the picture-in-picture feature (PRO) quite useful at times, so a good to have feature.
I get a message stating the pro licence has been deactivated on install. I used to have a legacy key, there was a separate download on the play store for it. I'm not sure if the fix listed in latest updates is referring to my issue but the method of activating pro is no longer available. I've emailed twice now with proof of purchase yet no reply. Still a good app but let down with customer support. Just be aware before buying if you value support from the Devs. Still the best app in it's class.
