App and device are rock solid
This app and my Bad Elf GPS Pro is wonderful. I like tracking my hikes for when I take photos. It’s helpful to sync the GPS data to the photos to show locations. Great when you want to remember that one spot and for populating various metadata. Device and app haven’t changed in years but they got it right the first time and doesn’t need to. Both are reliable and intuitive.

GPS Pro+ is discontinued
When I was searching for an additional GOS unit, I was surprised to discover the GPS Pro+ was discontinued in favor of a replacement (“Flex”) — that retails about twice the price — I cannot recommend it. The closest functional and price replacement is the “Dual.”
I was an early adopter to the Bad Elf system, and I was saddened to find it was unceremoniously dropped from all the usual retailers and its own website.

Works without internet?
Apparently not. Other than graph showing satellites no way to tell. Till you don’t have a signal. I was at Yellowstone and had no signal so I plugged in myBad Elf and. Nothing. Blue dot was flashing but without a base map not much help. Any hand held gps give you a signal without internet, but you have to revert to an inconvenient paper map. What good is bad elf if it doesn’t display a base map. Disappointed not what it is claimed to be.

Bad Elf GPS Pro
I've had it for years. I keep it in my Jeep, connected to my LiFePO4 off grid power system. Folks who are in my Jeep are welcome to pair to it. It blows Apple GPS out of the water because no cell tower dependancy!
Still a great GPS device after all these years, with a useful nice app.
Thanks BadElf!
Bad Elf GOS pro
I am a big fan of this app which I use with Navionics on my iPad. I’ve just bought a new one because after years of heavy use the battery stopped charging.
Thoughtfully designed
Functional and free of gimmicks.
Outstanding
The little Bad Elf and its app rated here have always done everything I’ve expected. Other than Bad Elf, the only better way to get GPS data is to buy a device - iPad in my case - costing hundreds more. ForeFlight and the various astronomy apps have limited utility without precise positioning. The BadElf app is at least a convenient trackline & elevation logger, and is also a functional mapping utility. APPLE: why are you pushing a rating for this app that is over *nine years* old? If I were the dev, I’d be furious.

Works well for me
I really don’t have any issues, it works well for driving, connects faithfully to both my iPhone and iPad. My only concern is I worry about iOs support. Since this apps last update was years ago.
iPodTouch ver6 + SkyWalking で使用
2017/12にアマゾンUSで本体を購入。
久しぶりに使用したら、 ファームウェアver upの案内あるのでv2.1.50に更新しました😅(^^)
今後も使い続けることができるか心配です。

Bad elf
Can not update firmware
Old USB
Also still using archaic Mini-B usb. Come on Bad Elf you can do better.
Download Polygons
I find the app to be very difficult to download field data to the computer.
Bonne interface pour ce GNSS
Bonne expérience sur cet outil qui permet de bien visualiser la position des Sat.
Good ideas, so-so execution
This app does a decent job of complementing the Bad Elf receiver, but it fails in a few key areas.
Pros:
1) Easy to download tracks
2) Easy to clear up space by deleting downloaded tracks (when downloaded or at a later time)
3) Good view of the device's features, e.g. satellites in view
Cons:
1) The big one: the app often displays stale data that doesn't reflect the up-to-date state of the receiver. This would be just an annoyance, except that it also means that sometimes the controls don't work, i.e. turning on the track log looks like it works but actually leaves the recorder off. Apparently this is because the app doesn't really have an active connection to the receiver, but it acts like it does and pretends to turn on track logging. I've lost at least half a dozen recordings that were never started due to this bug.
The receiver panel needs to be fixed to only show real data, not cached or stale data.
2) Some of the app workflow doesn't make much sense. For example, why is the Satellites page at the main level instead of at the device level page? It apparently shows the satellite status for a single device.

Nice tool with great potential!
After a reboot of my iPhone 6S, Bad Elf Pro+ works perfectly. I would love to have integrated tools on the device like "GoBackPro", and be able to save POI's without saving a track. App works well, but crash sometimes. Just reboot the phone and it's OK.
エラー頻発。データもおかしい
gps2200のログデータをコピーする際に、頻繁にエラーが出る。ごちゃごちゃ弄っているとコピーできるのだが、今度はgpxへエクスポートしようとすると嘘のデータが出力される。
ファームのアップデートもしょっちゅう来るし、ちゃんと検査してるのか？
アプリ自体は無償でも、装置込みで考えると、いい値段するんだし。
もう他を探そうかとも思い始めてる。

Good in most ways
Lists trips in strange order? Not obvious how to change order to One's preference.
Headings not labeled in trip presentations.
Nonetheless it does a great job!

Good app and good devices
My one request for the app would be that it shouldn't force you to redownload all the trips on the BadElf if you have previously deleted some of them from the app. It can take a long time for my trips to download since they are often as much as ten hours long! Making me do that with several trips is a major pain. I have learned to never delete a trip from the app if it is still on the Elf, but that is not a solution, merely a workaround.

Bad Elf -- Thumbs UP !!
Purchased Bad Elf for one reason - aviation/ForeFlight use but .... the Elf has morphed into a bunch of other uses including hiking -- skiing and vacations abroad !!
Great unit and folks at Elf are always there -- always helpful !!
