[2013-10-25] A Google User: When I go caving I can stash my bike and items I don't need and then this leads me right back. Truly a life saver! |
|
[2013-10-13] A Google User: Awesome app. Works really well. |
|
[2013-10-13] A Google User: Most User Friendly out there! !!! Have used the app for ages as it is very good. I feel sorry for the dev that not more people bought it but it hasn't been updated in ages. I am sure that whoever wrote it can still improve on it... |
|
[2013-09-30] A Google User: Excellent Does all I need and more. |
|
[2013-09-22] A Google User: Perfect |
|
[2013-09-17] A Google User: Works well on my Galaxy S2, S4 and Note 10.1 Very informative, one of the best GPS apps |
|
[2013-09-16] A Google User: Love it All the features Works perfect and gives me very accurate information on speed and other details if I choose. Awesome app |
|
[2013-09-11] A Google User: Issues with Navigation: Battery Consumption / Location Managment A) When in navigation mode, the battery consumption is very high. My Nexus 4 gets hot, and battery level goes down quickly. I believe the application calculates distance and direction to the target continuously with 100% CPU, giving pointlessly high screen-update-rate. An option to update every second or so could help. B) Management of saved locations offers neither deletion of a single location (only all at once), nor reordering of locations. Impossible to have a favorite (e.g. home) and not loosing it during trips. C) No reaction to e-mail within three weeks to clarify at least (A). |
|
[2013-09-11] A Google User: A must have GPS toolkit I've used the free version for years until I saw the added and useful features available in the Plus version. For the cost of a cup of latte, it's worth the upgrade! |
|
[2013-09-05] A Google User: :-D Perfect!!! |
|
[2013-08-13] A Google User: I looooooveeee this app . Thank you! |
|
[2013-08-02] A Google User: Does what is says - PERFECTLY Don't really need PLUS version but made purchase as a THANK YOU FOR A GREAT APP & SERVICE. Strongly suggest others to do likewise, for this app & for other apps that function without unnecessary permissions. Works well without cellular or internet service. BRAVO. |
|
[2013-07-30] A Google User: Great I like this app. |
|
[2013-07-30] A Google User: Great GPS tool Could use some UI updates though. |
|
[2013-07-19] A Google User: Awesome app. Perfect app. Would be 6/5 if you could toggle GPS/GLONASS/Both. |
|
[2013-07-14] A Google User: Great app Really well designed and easy to use |
|
[2013-07-10] A Google User: Worth it |
|
[2013-06-27] A Google User: Awesome You can't beat the mix of features and simplicity. The multiple coordinate formats supported are awesome. A true orienteers tool. |
|
[2013-06-26] A Google User: Disappointed Seems no good for use with paper maps with UTM grid. Yes you can set the Grid format to UTM for the main display, but when you go to mark your current position the Lat / Long is still displayed in decimal degrees. This means you can't edit that position to represent, say, a particular mountain pass then navigate to it. Not even in the paid for version. So its OK as a fun toy but for serious backcountry navigation, forget it. |
|
[2013-06-25] A Google User: Good but... I use this enough to wonder about some of the design choices. I would like to be able to see both heading and speed at the same time, but heading is on the Navigate screen and speed is on the Test screen. I also would like to be able to delete some locations from my History screen. There are 12 slots for saving locations, but the only delete option is to wipe out all 12 rather than just one or two. I think the only way to see altitude is to click on the Save Location (although you can cancel without saving). I also use GPS Essentials which is more customizable but the interface isn't as pretty. |
|
[2013-06-21] A Google User: Needs work, but nice display. Refund accepted: uninstalled. |
|
[2013-06-12] A Google User: a most useful app! |
|
[2013-06-08] A Google User: Just get it Totally awesome. |
|
[2013-05-30] A Google User: SGSIII Cool app |
|
[2013-05-27] A Google User: Use it all the time No complaints. Works great. Vzw S3. |
|
[2013-05-26] A Google User: Works great and looks great Everything works perfectly all the time and looks great. Detailed information gives nice insight. Personally I don't use the Plus-features so the free version was good enough but I bought the Plus version to sponsor development. |
|
[2013-05-22] A Google User: Perfect Just perfect. |
|
[2013-05-21] A Google User: Missing Simple Features This can be a great app... its missing very simple features (should be very easy for the developer to code). The only worthy enhancement over free GPS Test is "Marking a waypoint". Few things that the developer must add are 1. Add a waypoint (though this can be accomplished by marking a waypoint and editing it.. but it makes you think) 2. Capability to store more than JUST 12 waypoints. 3. Routing (Sewing waypoints together) 4. Capability to change Position Format in Navigate. All these enhancements should be easy as other complex hardword is done just need to focus more on usefulness. Not sure why the deveoper missed them in the first place. No more than 2 stars..:( |
|
[2013-05-11] A Google User: Very usefull Excellent stuff! |
|
[2013-05-10] A Google User: Why so wrong For some reason the compass is out by 180 degrees. Otherwise excellent app. |
|
[2013-05-09] A Google User: gps compass excellent. premium - Very nice and functional gps compass - Nice to use in the car- to find back your home (vacation places) - You pay a few $ and have a very nice stuff to use with plesure - Thanks and goodluck |
|
[2013-05-05] A Google User: A great compliment to my binocs |
|
[2013-05-03] A Google User: Galaxy S3 Does what is said, and is fun too! |
|
[2013-04-24] A Google User: I like this app. It's a fun app to have. |
|
[2013-04-06] A Google User: UI 16 colour apk, when you have millions. UI is really very basic in XXI century. |
|
[2013-04-06] A Google User: GPS Test Plus Great App! Easy to use. Works well. |
|
[2013-04-01] A Google User: The best! Spent a long weekend testing simple compass/bearing apps, this rules! I drive for pleasure, don't need turn-by-turn, just give me accurate bearings to a fixed point. Speed of app, sat acquisition, display beats most others out there, now improved in the plus version.credit to the dev |
|
[2013-03-29] A Google User: Fantastic interface. Easy to use, intuitive. Awesome. |
|
[2013-03-24] A Google User: This is a brilliant app, Heading indicator is 100% accurate and unafected by outside magnetic influences when moving. FANTASTIC VALUE. |
|
[2013-03-21] A Google User: Excellent! Impressive! Actually works. This is great! |
|
[2013-03-10] A Google User: Excellent The best and simplest GPS app. If you get only one GPS app, make sure it's this one. |
|
[2013-03-06] A Google User: Simple Fantastic......along with Google nav and Navionics marine charts I have the ultimate pocket GPS |
|
[2013-02-28] A Google User: Good Nice apps |
|
[2013-02-18] A Google User: Save History Five stars if you allow location history in the cloud. |
|
[2013-02-17] A Google User: Perfect Enables you to use your phone like a commercial GPS unit. Simplicity in its finest form. Free version is perfect. Bought paid just to support devs for a job well done. |
|
[2013-02-04] A Google User: Great GPS app Has all you need, plus even some more options. Really love the simplicity, but the UI could be a bit nicer (more up to the modern Android standards and design elements). |
|
[2013-01-31] A Google User: Love it The only thing this app need is a map, at least a 2d map... |
|
[2013-01-30] A Google User: Support needs improvement but works good. I would have given it 5 stars if not for the questionable support. Must be installed to see instructions for use and takes multiple emails for support before any response is received. Otherwise, app works wonderfully well on my OptimusG, no hic-ups and contrary to some comments does not appear to affect battery when app is closed. Easy UI and the most important usuable GPS features are included with the plus version. Really enjoy having such a simple yet effective GPS software on my phone - will come in very handy indeed. Hopefully characteristics do not change for the worse with future upgrades. Great product! |
|
[2013-01-19] A Google User: Great app but GPS slow I purchased this app for full functionality and it generally works as expected. My concern is the time it takes to get the current location. My car GPS gets the location almost instantaneously, this app takes minutes and occasionaly it fails, e.g. on an island or at sea. It could be due to a limitation related to my device (Nexus 4) but I doubt it because I can see the app appears to detect up to 10 satellites in the first few seconds upon launch and then it takes a long time to compute the location. |
|
[2013-01-18] A Google User: Great There is a bug: when orientation is changed, starts location finding from scratch which takes long time when AGPS is not available. Locking orientation is a workaround. |
|
[2013-01-04] A Google User: Waypoint What Navigation? Allows you to save your last 12 locations but what for? Help file doesn't explain how to use them for navigation. Other than that it's a fine app. |
|
[2013-01-02] A Google User: A Superb utility App This is the most useful app for the GPS. It locks the signal in just a few seconds. Great work! |
|
[2013-01-01] A Google User: Excellent app Everything in one place. Would like automatic night colors after evening. |
|
[2012-12-28] A Google User: Almost perfect I like the utilitarian design. Please add a barometric altimeter and the ability to join the waypoints to routes. |
|
[2012-12-27] A Google User: Good Nice GPS testing app. Also gives useful geo info. |
|
[2012-12-24] A Google User: Very versatile Better than any other similar apps out there. Love the navigation, but wish it could allow more waypoint to be saved, i.e. a better waypoint management system (currently max at 12). Hope to see in future release the ability to search by place name/address, etc. in addition to keying in the gps coordinates. 5 stars nevertheless. |
|
[2012-12-21] A Google User: Good GPS app Nice app, works well. |
|
[2012-12-17] A Google User: droid bionic used the free version, happy to donate, i like the perks of the pro. |
|
[2012-12-17] A Google User: long time |
|
[2012-12-04] A Google User: Good app This app work perfectly. |
|
[2012-12-02] A Google User: The best Haven't found any other app quite like it to date so I got the paid version. Love the customization options so I don't blind myself when using at night. |
|
[2012-12-02] A Google User: Rikk Awesome app. 99cents bargain |
|
[2012-11-29] A Google User: Fantastic I am impressed! |
|
[2012-11-28] A Google User: Great app. App needs only GPS permissions. Glad I found this app. All other apps always need other permissions like network or SD card. |
|
[2012-11-26] A Google User: Add a comment Should auto on/off GPS when entered/exit apps. |
|
[2012-11-26] A Google User: Great One of those apps where the free version is really good, but the small fee for the paid version is absolutely worth it. |
|
[2012-11-26] A Google User: Excellent |
|
[2012-11-23] A Google User: Nice app. For the sale price, it's ok to me. Better than the free version. |
|
[2012-11-22] A Google User: Easiest by far to read It's my go-to app to check how well I'm locking into satellites, so I use it daily. |
|
[2012-11-18] A Google User: Sean Hollingsworth Love it!! :-) |
|
[2012-11-17] A Google User: Very cool app. I got this app when I saw the satilight and signal pages, it looks just like my Garman and that I could leave waypoints..all without a cell signal |
|
[2012-11-02] A Google User: Best GPS app available Couldn't be happier great job keep up the good work |
|
[2012-10-23] A Google User: GPS Test Plus Very good app. Just wish you had the ability to measure accumulative distance travelled instead of distace from last waypoint. I would use this app a lot more while horseback riding in the mountains if it did |
|
[2012-10-18] A Google User: Really??!!!! This thing doesn't do anything. The only activity is the compass. The time, date, altitude, and satellite tracker does nothing. You can tap on all the screens listed in the help section, and nothing happens, nice waste of money!!! |
|
[2012-10-14] A Google User: One possible wish... I don't know if it is possible, but if there was a link for straight jump to Maps from this app... |
|
[2012-10-05] A Google User: Great app Great app for seeing the raw information from the gps, including coordinates, number of satellites, accuracy etc. My only wish is that I could enter waypoints in the same system as the display (i.e. If i have utm displayed, i want to be able to enter a waypoint in utm not just decimal degrees which is next to useless!!) |
|
[2012-10-02] A Google User: Great App Liked it so much I upgraded to plus version |
|
[2012-09-05] A Google User: Nexus 7 Likes It Fully functional and pleasing to the eye on a Nexus 7 tablet. Very impressed. |
|
[2012-09-01] A Google User: Regular numbers Please include an option for "regular" number and not "LED" style numbers. For some of us the regular style is much easier to read. Thanks! |
|
[2012-08-24] A Google User: The Best Does as advertised, flawlessly. |
|
[2012-08-18] A Google User: Excellent Slick UI, lots of data. Worth the few bucks to me, but wish the free version had nagged me less. |
|
[2012-08-16] A Google User: Wonderful app Simple to use, works perfectly, also really interesting to find out more about GPS. I bought the upgrade immediately. |
|
[2012-08-16] A Google User: Very good Excellent app.. worth every penny. |
|
[2012-08-15] A Google User: Awesome When Google maps can't lock location, this app does it in seconds. Plus I love all the additional GPS data. A must have for outdoor gps enthusiasts! |
|
[2012-08-14] A Google User: Great app Excellent app and very useful |
|
[2012-07-31] A Google User: Almost excellent app! The free version is actually enough, but 3EUR is not much to support a good app! Samsung GS2. Only drawback: sucks a bit of energy even when running in the background! |
|
[2012-07-22] A Google User: Excellent Brilliant! Had no problems, got everything I need. |
|
[2012-07-22] A Google User: GPS Test + is excellent. |
|
[2012-07-19] A Google User: Needs a Jellybean update Great app on ICS but stopped working with the Jellybean update. |
|
[2012-07-19] A Google User: Five stars Great gps app,very happy,thanks the developers!! |
|
[2012-07-18] A Google User: The best GPS data app I've used so far! Great app for phones or tablets. Accurate data. Nice color and font options. Interesting heads up display mode for driving (I don't need it, but others might find it useful). I especially like the inverted white color option. This is a great looking GPS app, plus it is responsive and fast. I was using GPS Essentials before, which is nice. But this one is worth the price. Definitely get it if you have a tablet with GPS! |
|
[2012-07-15] A Google User: Great, but can not manage waypoints This app does not let me delete waypoints individually. Beside that it saves only the 12 last ones. If you have already saved 12 and want to save the 13th one, your first data will be deleted, even if it is the most important for you. Unfortunately I have to use a simpler free app which handles the stored waypoints correctly, without such limits. |
|
[2012-07-12] A Google User: I.love this app and being able mark where i am |
|
[2012-07-10] A Google User: Very informative and useful I started out just looking for GPS coordinates, but was excited to find not only every piece of GPS info I wanted, but more features that I didn't expect. The HUD speedometer is fabulous! |
|
[2012-07-10] A Google User: Great. Many good features. Only issue is that heading defaults to north when not in motion. Would be nice if it stayed on last heading. |
|
[2012-07-08] A Google User: Great app and good price I've used the free version for some while, and found it very easy to use, very useful, then I saw the paid version and all its extra features, and had to get the plus version. I recommend it for hiker enthusiasts. |
|
[2012-07-07] A Google User: Very useful |
|
[2012-07-05] A Google User: Great app I purchased this App to test my gps and now I may take up hiking just to play with it. |
|
[2012-07-04] A Google User: Excellent Give me all the information I actually need |
|
[2012-07-03] A Google User: Get grid I use mgrs to find my location, but i would like to mark my destination by grid reference. That is the only down side, awsome app! |
