Reviews of GPS Diagnostic

Leave a Review GPS Diagnostic
  • Doesn't seem to be seeing GPS with iOS 17.0.1

    Don't know what's up with this. I'm guessing that something might have broken with the new OS major version. The checklist of location sources says "?" for GPS and there's no GPS sat bargraph bars displayed.

    Also, I tried to use the in app email to reach the developer, but the app says I don't have an email configured for this app and I'm not sure how to do that. I don't see the app enumerated in iOS's "Settings". FWIW, I use Gmail.

    If/when this problem is resolved for me, I will most likely rate this app five stars.

  • A Masterclass in App Design and Functionality

    The GPS Diagnostic app is nothing short of phenomenal. It’s incredibly refreshing to find an app that not only meets but far exceeds expectations. Where do I even start?

    First off, the user interface is clean and intuitive. The app is surprisingly easy to use but doesn’t compromise on the depth of its features or settings. Navigating through the options feels like a breeze, thanks to thoughtful design choices.

    What sets this app apart is the exceptional in-app help and documentation. Far beyond what one would expect, it offers just the right amount of information, in just the right place, at just the right time. The attention to detail in providing this support is truly remarkable and way above the prevailing standard.

    Overall, GPS Diagnostic is a shining example of what an app should be: functional, user-friendly, and respectful of its users’ intelligence. I couldn’t recommend it more highly.

  • Excellent tool for troubleshooting and speed measurement

    I successfully used this app to confirm the quality of the reception of satellite data. Months later I find myself in Japan on the Shinkansen “bullet” train wondering how fast we are traveling. This app provided the answer. In case you are wondering, we were traveling about ~275 km/hr!
