GB Compass

Genius!

Brilliant little app!

Superb for passing on your position to anyone if you get lost or you are in trouble whilst out in the country.

Super Os conversation app

I was looking for a converter and this one is super.

Very Useful Tool

If your car breaks down in a no man’s, this the application you need to find out what your current position is!

Os compass

Does not work properly. Inconsistent and inaccurate most of the time , presently N is pointing
East!

Grid compass

Almost instant help from the developer if you have any query, can’t fault app or service.

Excellent

Does just what you need. OS grid refs to 10 digits and estimates of accuracy.

Does the job well

An app that does one job and does it well, with a uncluttered screen layout. I use it when taking photos when doing landscape surveying as I need to record both the coordinates and the direction the camera was facing. The only improvement I can think of would be the ability to copy the grid ref data on the home screen to allow it to be pasted into a spreadsheet app

Very good

When I had to change handset & system provider the App I just had to track down for my new phone was GB Grid Ref - reliable, simple and one of only a handful that give compass, lay/long & 12 fig grid ref besides advising accuracy. The only app for me!

GB Grid

Works well but I would like the bold grid ref characters to be bigger - like the direction digits.

ExceptionalApp

Knowing precisely where you are, which direction is North, all of great importance to the intrepid explorer, cyclist, rambler or, simply, the curious.

This App answers all the various condrums of navigation.

Very pleased with the app.

Very useful.

I use this app on the odd occasion to verify my map and compass navigation position. Highly recommend this app to anyone who enjoys the outdoors life.

Excellent grid reference finder UK/IE

I used to make quite a bit of use of another grid reference finder (reporting road defects, marking wildlife sites, recording filming areas etc). I particularly like the facility to look up the coverage of an iOS grid square without leaving the app and going on the Internet.
This app is better. It has more sharing options than the previous one (maybe could add FB Messenger?). One feature this app lacks is the ability to convert an OS grid ref (other than your present position) to lat/long. If it would offer this in OSGB / WGS, then it would be great. Addition of maps would be perfect; though I expect licensing issues may be prohibitive for the developer.
Summary recommended.

No need for GPS

If you can read an ordnance survey map then, with this app you can place yourself within a few feet - no need for a connection.
Used over the western lakes and Peak District, never failed
Used again in Scottish Highlands aug2018.
Don’t worry about no signal- app worked to within 10metres. Just make sure you know how to use the OS map properly.
