Solid hardware. Weak app
This app, the data collector app, needs work. The COGO tools are very limited. There is very little flexibility within the settings. The line work functions are limited. I ended up coding a COGO tool to make up for it but the addition of a few simple COGO tools would quickly bring this product up to 5 stars.

Hi, thank you for the good feedback on the Reach RS4Pro. Could you share more details on which additional COGO tools will help your workflow? Please share it to support@emlid.com.
So Far, So Good
1) I’m not at all a fan of subscription-based services, and the free version just doesn’t have all the features I need. I don’t mind supporting development of a product that I find useful but I would much rather pay a one-time fee and be done with it for a while.
2) The Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity can be flakey and the connection sometimes drops for no apparent reason or the app can’t find the receiver. Also, if a Reach receiver is joined to one WiFi network and then moved to another network, it usually doesn’t connect correctly without a reboot. I’m not sure if the problem is with something in my network setup or the device firmware or something else but it can be a problem.
This is my first GNSS RTK equipment so I don’t have anything to compare it to but, in general, I like this app and hardware and it seems to keep getting better.

Latest update broke data export-RESOLVED!
ORIGINAL: Used to be able to export DXF with point labels and view data within CAD seamlessly. Now with the updated export function, data is garbled and ununsable. Basically this makes the units themselves useless. Once the export feature is fixed, will update review. For now, word of advice, if it’s working, don’t update
