I’m deleting this

The app has serious glitches from the moment you open it. It has a kinda cool look to it. Like that game where everything is made of burlap (can’t remember the name). Nonetheless most of it’s displayed things don’t fit on the screen

Hello Sundown Kid, are you using an iPad? If so, the app is not optimised for iPads as of yet, this will come in a future update. Also, if your iPad doesn't have 4G, the app is kind of useless, as the normal iPad doesn't have a GPS chip.

No instructions

No instructions. Many icons do not work. Difficult to use.

How does it work??

It can point a way to a location, but seems there is no way for it to find a my new location with GPS. Need to enter longitude and latitude for your selected locations. Very difficult.
No instructions that I can find.

Hello Makoa, I agree, the app needs a tutorial. You can save your current location by tapping the save button on the main screen (the one with the arrow).

How to use missing

There are no directions given in app or on the web. Can’t find the Facebook page. I have tied everything I can think of with no results other than recording my position. As it sits it is pretty much worthless. These folks had a good idea but couldn’t follow through with a working app.

Hello Ralph, I will add a How To Use in the next version sometime next week. Thank you for the feedback.

Needs work.

Try putting in lat-long of true or magnetic North Pole... the direction finder on at least one of these locations should result in the direction pointer essentially acting like a compass. It fails. Not sure why.

Ok

How do I get rid of Distance to Apple in the bottom left?

Outdoorsman's GPS

You will not get lost using this app. Good for storing waypoints. Can be use for marking stree stands while you are deep in the woods and get back to it the next time and it is free! No anoying background ads.

Love this app

The best app to avoid getting lost or to find a place again. I just enter the place I am at, and I can easily get back to it, whether it is just where I parked the car or a shop I want to come back to later when in a strange city. Like Barcelona where there is a maze of streets, or the Aussy outback where the last water hole was.

Not bad

Works great, did notice that if you edit a point and click save w/o making changes it deletes the point. Some skins would make this even better! I like that you can add a point using lat and lon.

Update: I've been using this quite a while now and always add it to my new Apple devices. It seems like one of the few gps apps that you can use w/o any kinda data/cell service. Would love to see an update some time.

Cardboard.

The background is a piece of cardboard I suppose it does what it does but does it do what I want. Not super impressed. Coulda lived with it if it gave the compass heading Of the location and showed your current heading.
