### 1/5 — need my money back

*2025-10-28*

they never updated the app so confusing- not intuitive

### 5/5 — Still one of the best

*2019-10-19, version 3.0.2*

A powerful, well rounded GPS toolkit. If you need coordinate conversions and other options, the advanced upgrade delivers.

### 1/5 — GPS & MAP TOOLBOX

*2018-09-19, version 3.0.2*

Rubbish - Doesn’t work in UK ! Looks like con as it seems you have to spend £20 to upgrade for it to be any use.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2018-02-04*

This app is totally awesome ok so the coordinate are excessively accurate but hay who’s gonna complain about that

### 1/5 — Geldgier hat App schlecht gemacht

*2017-12-31*

Die an sich gute App wurde in der letzten Version durch Geldgier abgewertet. Sogar für die Nutzung von Freeware wie OpenMaps und GoogleMaps soll man monatlich zahlen. Frechheit!

### 5/5 — Works great

*2017-11-17*

Solid app that does it's job. I use it to document site locations like utility poles. It also allows to send to the app on other devices. Export to Google Earth works well.

### 1/5 — Cashcow reloaded ?!?

*2017-10-25*

I am really disappointed !

A few years ago I got a functional APP, able to export KML and KMZ as long as I used it with the old iOS.

  But now the developer wants to earn more money and so you need to pay again about 17€ for this function that I already paid for...

Not customer-friendly
I can‘t recommend the APP anymore.

### 1/5 — Updates are expensive

*2017-10-16*

I got this app almost 5 years ago for a small price and it was an absolutely wonderful app to use. It provided almost every type of navigational means to get you from point A to point B and plan a good route. IT WAS PERFECT. However, they made an update where you had to pay 15 dollars just to keep your right to continue to do the same thing you have been doing for 5 years. I thought "hey I really need this app for work and it's only 15 dollars" so I bought the update for 15 dollars. not a single month later they do the same exact thing and now say I have to pay 30 dollars to be able to use this app! They have become money grubbing people!!! DO NOT USE THIS APP. They are taking advantage of all the people who have become dependent on this app. Don't support these inconsiderate bullies. 

    Thanks for taking this into consideration before buying this app.

### 1/5 — What happened?

*2017-10-12*

So I paid for this app last year it worked great. You made me update it and now I have to pay a ton of money for a working app now?  This is not cool I can’t even share my files now.

### 5/5 — Really Excellent

*2017-09-18*

Refers to an IAP, but purchase option not found in app or in AppStore description. Presumably that's coming.

Everything I want is there; I just needed to get familiar with the app. A little clicking on the various features and I was good to go.

I'm very pleased with it and recommend it to anyone who just wants to do some casual location mapping without taking a course in GIS.
