I will (and give 5 stars) if the True compass worked. Does it work in the purchased version? ### 4/5 — Almost all I need *2020-03-06, version 1.3* Would like to see how many satellite locks it has, or is that not available via iOS? ### 4/5 — Good App *2019-05-17, version 1.3* Good app overall just wish you could use the compass on the apple watch ### 4/5 — Good app. Watch could be improved *2018-10-22* This is a really great app, probably the BEST of its kind. The watch functionality however could be improved with these 2 additional features: 1. Once you’ve scrolled to select your desired units e.g. speed in knots or elevation in feet etc, the next time you select that particular data, it should automatically display the last units selected as opposed to having to scroll to the desired units every time you re-select that data. 2. Direction on the iPhone also displays the cardinal direction e.g. SE. This display is not selectable on the watch, which would be really handy. Otherwise a really impressive little app. Keep up the great work guys! ### 4/5 — At last a true stand alone Watch app *2018-03-15, version 1.3* A real gem of an app dedicated to the hardest question of life - where am I. It’s works even when your IPhone has died and in some cases could literally save your life if can can summons help from the Emergency services. If only it could display OSGB format for the UK my search for the prefect app would be Complete... ### 5/5 — bisschen groß *2018-01-23* Bleibt drauf Absolutely no Need for „Devices without gps...“. Rubbish ! ### 4/5 — GPS data app *2017-11-04* Love the app. One thing I would like is the name of the town and state of the location. ### 4/5 — Great app *2017-10-13* Really like the Apple Watch integration. If there is a way to change units on the watch, I haven’t found it. I would rate it 5 stars if I could change units on the watch. ### 4/5 — Good app but limited on apple watch *2017-03-17* Good app but the GPS coordinates are not displayed on the Apple watch... only elevation, heading and speed. I would give an extra star for that ! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Sophisticated Redneck *2023-04-30* This app’s a geek’s heaven, oh, the numbers🧐 ### 1/5 — Almost *2019-04-30* I got it for 1 purpose, to save gps position and send it via sms. But when I send it, the app changes the lat and long to a different format. And despite there being a way to see it dd mm ss on screen, it will not Sms it that way. And even paying for the upgrade doesn’t give settings to fix this. A shame. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2018-07-01* Doesn’t work. I can’t see any data ### 1/5 — GPS data *2018-04-16* I can’t get the Compass on this app to work on my Apple Watch. ### 2/5 — Per Apple Watch? *2021-08-08* L’ho scaricata sull’Apple Watch ma non funziona… ### 2/5 — Still get ads even when you pay for it *2018-06-18* Thought the ads would go away but no **Developer response:** Hi Apfkrnsjxif, Sorry to hear the problem you’re having; buying the in-app purchase should definitely remove the ads. Please try restarting your device, otherwise contact us and we’ll sort out the problem for you. ~OoT ### 2/5 — Not what I hoped for *2018-02-17* Not very compatible with Apple Watch. Only displays elevation, nothing else, might be missing something. **Developer response:** Hi TechCop, Speed and Course/Direction can be accessed on Apple Watch by firm pressing on the center of the screen. In our next update in the coming days, Latitude and Longitude will be available as well. We hope you can try out GPS Data again! ~OoT ### 3/5 — Why not? *2019-07-02* It works great, but why not put speed/course/altitude all on the same watch page, use other pages (or phone app) to select units on the watch. ### 3/5 — Text and Headingd *2019-04-20* The headings for data and the current data reading overlap and make it awkward to read ### 3/5 — So schon ganz gut... *2018-11-24* aber auf der Apple Watch 4 zeigt die km/h Anzeige nur einen Strich. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Island Days *2021-06-25* Great service wonderful reception thank you ### 5/5 — The cool 1 *2019-09-24* This is the one you need it does it all !!! ### 5/5 — Just like a real handheld GPS *2019-03-25, version 1.3* It works perfectly just like a real handheld GPS. Since I am very good in tech, I hope the update includes a satellite position interface,signal strength and accuracy. :) ### 5/5 — Simple display when that’s all you need *2019-03-23* Simply displays GPS data. Perfect for when you need snapshots of information. ### 5/5 — Exactly what I wanted *2019-01-21* Raw data! Suggestion: a button to snap the current state to memory then you can share the list of snapshots. Also in the share feature please save the time in full resolution. ### 5/5 — Almost perfect *2019-01-12* The only gripe I have with this app is the number of decimal places displayed for lat/long. Five is ample and 12-13 is ridiculous. ### 5/5 — Suggestion *2018-07-03* Could add more readings ### 5/5 — GPS *2018-04-25* aVERY HANDY SERVICE MANY USEFUL TECHNICAL ITEMS ### 5/5 — Slick Apple Watch App *2018-04-15* Important Note: To change display units on the Apple Watch, simply rotate the Digital Crown. This nifty app displays all the GPS data you need. The Apple Watch version is very nice. I was looking for something simple that would just display the data I need. This app is it. ### 5/5 — keep updating! we need you... *2018-03-14* out there on app store, there isn’t good GPS app, please make this better and better... --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
