  • Bit buggy when exiting and returning

    Even with the Pause on exit set to on, the application sometimes resets to zero when returning from an exit. Annoying when you have been recording for an hour!! I would say this happens 2 out of 3 times. Other than that works fine if you stay in the app. Could do with elevation tracking to make it as good as some of the others.

  • It's a nice GPS tracking app

    Yes if you exit the app it would stop tracking, but it is not their fault. It's Apple's policy that apps can not run in the background.
  • Does the job but beware of battery life

    On the plus side, this app is very simple to use and does what it says on the tin - ie it logs your journey with GPS data and allows it to be exported by GPX for use in Google maps etc and to geotag photos. It does have a few downsides compared to other ones I have tried, however. The main one is that if you lock the iPhone (and so turn off the screen) the app logging pauses. This means that the screen must always be on. My tests suggested that it would completely deplete the battery in about 2 hours (others typically last 5h plus). I also found it less able to acquire a GPS signal than other software I had tried (I don't know what this should be). It also crashed a few times and I had to reboot the iPhone. In comparison to other apps, I would therefore have given this 2 stars except for one thing. Most other free apps are limited somehow - by number of tracks recorded, or logging time etc. This, however, is an unrestricted app. The battery issue seriously limits is usefulness in my view, but its free and great for short trips or just recording your location for geo-tagging so who's to complain? (3 stars = good in my book)

  • Few things to fix to make useful

    For this to be usefull it need to be able to work in the background ,if I do a 400 mile trip ,I will not have this on all the time ,recording. Distance ,time,average speed is good ,time actualy on road moving ,time stop not moving .but the most important is running in the background .
