### 1/5 — Absolute trash

*2026-07-21*

This app genuinely does not work with iPhone good luck

**Developer response:** Hi! Thanks for reaching out. Could you share a bit more about the issue you're experiencing with the app? Please send the details to support@emlid.com. I will investigate it further and help you resolve the issue.

### 4/5 — Solid hardware. Weak app

*2026-05-03*

The Emlid RS 4 and the Pro version are fantastic. I’m very impressed with its ability to stay Fixed, the ease of set up, and overall feel of the product. 
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.

**Developer response:** 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.

### 4/5 — So Far, So Good

*2025-08-08*

I’ve been using this app quite a bit lately with my Emlid Reach RS3 GNSS receivers and, overall, I’m pretty happy with it. My only gripes are:

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.

**Developer response:** Hi bm-nospam, thanks for sharing such detailed feedback! We’re glad to hear you’re enjoying the app and your Reach RS3 receivers. Your thoughts on pricing options and connection stability are very helpful. We’ll pass them along to our team for consideration. If the connectivity issues persist, please contact us at support@emlid.com so we can help troubleshoot and get you back to work without interruptions. We’re always working to make the app and hardware even better.

### 5/5 — Latest update broke data export-RESOLVED!

*2025-04-12*

UPDATE: Reached out to support and was able to resolve the issue. App is working as normal and able to provide needed data. Support was both quick to respond and very helpful. 

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

**Developer response:** Hi Misturtea, thanks for the updated comment! We're glad to hear that everything is sorted out now.

### 1/5 — Latest update broke data export

*2025-04-04*

**Developer response:** Hi Misturtea, thanks for bringing this to our attention. We haven’t received similar reports yet, so it'd be great if you could contact us at support@emlid.com. We want to take a closer look at the issue and work on a solution for you.

### 4/5 — Bug to find a receptor via Wi-Fi

*2024-12-16*

When the M2 antenna is connected to a Wi-Fi such as my phone, I cannot find it via the app. It still works in Safari but not via the EMLID Flow interface. Probably an issue with the ip scanner ? Can you please fix it ?

Best regards,

**Developer response:** Hi Liliiiiii98, thanks for your review. Please send us an email at support@emlid.com with a description of the issue. We'll investigate it. Thank you!

### 1/5 — Expensive and incomplete

*2024-07-19*

Linework available only with monthly or yearly subscription.

**Developer response:** Hi Cp Nemo, thanks for your review. Yes, the linework is a part of the paid subscription plan. But with monthly billing, you can get it only for the time you need it. At the same time, all the basic functionality stays free. So you can keep working with the app as before without additional charges.

### 1/5 — Recent update issues

*2024-07-16*

This most recent update has some minor features I hope they take a look at and fix. 

-When changing a point number or description the whole text is highlighted with one click and easy to delete. I am used to adjusting point numbers by a few digits so this adds an extra step of making sure I deselect the whole text.

-When typing a description or new point number I have to select the number keyboard for every single number. For instance; if I have to type a few letters followed by several numbers, I now need to type the number, it will revert back to qwerty keyboard without numbers, then I will have to select the number keypad, then another number, then revert back to qwerty keyboard

Please adjust these, it makes my job a lot harder in the field

**Developer response:** Hi, AngryAngels92; thanks for your feedback! We've noted all your comments. We're committed to providing our users with the best user experience. I see that we are also in contact with you via email. Please check your inbox when you have the chance. Thank you!

### 3/5 — Dgm Import

*2024-02-16*

Is it possible to Import dgm and measure on it?

**Developer response:** Hi Surveyorbazi, thanks for your review! At the moment, the app supports working with points and lines only. However, we've noted your feature request for support for surfaces and will consider it in the future.

### 4/5 — Would need to be able to import xml files

*2023-08-25*

The fact that we can’t have any surface limits us in construction layouts. The rest is perfect

**Developer response:** Hi Bob, thanks for your review and kind words. At the moment, Emlid Flow indeed doesn't support working with surfaces. But we see that it's important to you, and we will note your request.
