Hard to use in the airplane
This app is very hard to use in the airplane as it requires a precise spacing format with correct symbols. There are much easier formats on Google where they make the entry process easier. The manufacturer needs to update this. Very small font adds to the difficulty.
Good app!!
Great app to use for getting specific information to the NWS while out storm spotting!! Great for us ham operators when out in the field when accurate info is a necessity.
P.S. It's 6 years later and now it doesn't work anymore. No updates to program since 2014!!!!! Doesn't work within the iOS 11 realm. Too bad.

Don’t Work on IOS 11
When new update?
Excellent
Excellent app for converting DMS co-ordinates to simple latitude and longitude. Especially useful when comparing data from AIS and/or VDR data downloads.
Great ap
It does something extremely useful for converting from GPS decimal readout to latitude and longitude in degrees, minutes, and seconds as they are used on nautical charts. It is a big time saver for me. I gladly paid 99 cents for being able to use it ad-free.
Excellent
I caravan & the caravan club gives gps in decimals, unfortunately my car wants in put in degrees etc so this tool is essential. Mapping reference calculated agrees with my tom tom sat nav so happy even though car map looks a bit different. Willing to believe car map isn't quite right (until proved otherwise)

Great For A Pilot
I'm a pilot, and often do aerial photography, surveying, and other ground-based operations where I need custom waypoints, not those already officially published. This app does great work converting when different hardware and software use different lat/long formats. I just wish there was a way to import/export directly to/from the aviation mapping app "ForeFlight" to create a flight track without needing to manually transfer the coordinates.

Not a daily use item
Not something you have constant call for but when you need to do it this one works. Very simple to use, clear output. Like a lot.
Geocaching just got easier!
I recently started attempting multi-caches with my girlfriend. This app helps out in a MAJOR way. We were fumbling over my old GPS device, the maps app, and bad guesswork. This app has saved us a lot of time! Love this app so much!!

Excellent app that saves hours of work. Very user friendly

Works great for mobile reference and dms conversions without getting out another calculator. The map feature is especially nice when talking to clients off the cuff. I use it daily.
Simple & effective.
I need to record gps coord's in decimal form for work and this app is perfect. Simple and effective it works as advertised. Open the app and hit update from device to get your current location displayed in DMS and decimal. Tells you the gps accuracy in meters and you can quickly check in map view to make sure your device has correctly acquired the location. Thanks!

I like seeing it in D-M-S, much more direct and I know we're I am.
Need the reverse
Does what it says in the description, but having the ability to perform a conversion from DD to DMS would be a nice addition.
Awsome
Finally an easier way to truly navigate. Thanks
Case sensitive? Come on.... FIXED!
Here's an update to my earlier review. IT'S FIXED! Thanks for listening! 8^)
Previous review:
Seems to work once you figure out the format requirements. It's pretty lame to require the direction abreviations, N, S, E, W to be input in upper case only!
Once you figure that out, it seems fine. (Escecially funny since they brag about their "fuzzy parsing logic". 8^)
Thanks for making it free and with a little work could be a nice clean, mean app.

Very useful.
This is exactly what I needed. Some of my co workers use DMS and some use DD. This Ap is a very simple tool to quickly convert between the two. The only thing that would improve it would be the addition of more formats.
