The data screen is horribly laid out with super small text when there is ample room to make it easy to read. Plus there is no support on the data screen for landscape mode. ### 4/5 — Battery friendly *2023-05-04* I miss the possibility to deactivate the automatic pausing of the recording. The battery performance is very good. I am therefore rather bothered that I have to start the recording regularly when I am in small areas or indoors. **Developer response:** Hi! Thanks for your feedback, I will try and add this option in the next release :-) Cheers! ### 3/5 — Distances en ft *2020-02-26* Comment les remettre en kilomètres **Developer response:** Hello, you can now change the measurement unit in the preference of the app (inside the app, on the main page, button “Preferences”). ### 2/5 — Suite MAJ trace > SEP 2012 sont cachée *2017-08-31* Enfin une mise à jour Mais à quelle prix mes trajets ont disparu sans avertissement. 5 années de randonnées cachée Ce n est vraiment pas cool surtout qu à première vue pas de gros changement Dans les menus. ni de traduction français. Les nouvelles traces viennent se ranger derriere celles de < Sep 2012. Avec ibackup Viewer j'ai accès à mes traces sur l'ordinateur après sauvegarde dans iTunes. C'est un soulagement mais j'aimerai y avoir accès sur mon iPhone . ### 3/5 — Bonne appli mais perte historique *2017-08-12* À moins que l'on me dise comment les retrouver, la mise à jour de l'application m'a effacé tous mes historiques de trajets que j'avais depuis des années !!!!!! .... il aurait été bienvenu que la mise à jour prévienne de cette perte. Quant à la nouvelle version, je n'ai pas eu l'occasion de vérifier sa fiabilité, à savoir que la version précédente plantait régulièrement sur de longs trajets, il fallait prendre l'habitude de checker régulièrement pour relancer et minimiser la perte. ### 3/5 — exchange track files using iTunes *2016-03-28* КАК exchange track files using iTunes? Как это сделать? ### 2/5 — crash *2015-09-26* It might be nice if it didn't crash so often. ### 4/5 — good *2015-03-02* v. 4.0 efficient; does what it's supposed to do ========================================================= 2012: GPX standard timestamp is in UTC not in local time; please correct ### 5/5 — Not bad at all *2014-11-19, version 2.2.0* I just bought this app to use on my iPad and iPod. I tested it by turning on the app's trip recorder while I drove around my neighbourhood taking photos. I then eMailed the coord file to myself. I also had to buy Mac software (HoudahGeo) for $33 that writes the info in this file to the photos I shot. A very painless and fast process. You just drag and drop the photos and the file to the software's window. In an instant the GPS coords are recorded in each photo, along with elevation. Neat. The hardware alternative I looked at was about $350. ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2014-06-28* Awesome! But the logging time interval is not stable. ### 3/5 — Grundsätzlich gut, aber... *2014-04-18* ... für eine kostenpflichtige App sollte diese für das iPhone 5 optimiert werden. Außerdem stürzt die App gelegentlich ab, wodurch die aufgezeigte Route vermeintlich verloren geht, nach beenden der Aufzeichnung ist sie allerdings wieder da. Nur die Zeiterfassung stimmt dann nicht mehr. Diese Punkte optimieren und die 5 Sterne sind drin! ### 3/5 — Vivement une version ios7 et iphone5 *2014-04-09* Cette application qui était géniale sous Ios6 avec mon iPhone 3GS l'est pas du tout avec mon iPhone 5S: l'affichage n'est pas compatible et régulièrement l'application plante! Merci de sortir rapidement une mise à jour!!! **Developer response:** La mise à jour est sortie. Merci de votre patience :) ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Save your $ *2024-11-03, version 4.7* App stoped tracking for no apparent reason - only 1/4 way through trip. ### 1/5 — Awful *2024-06-29, version 4.7* This app is awful and not sure why I brought it! ### 1/5 — GPX export not recognized by Garmin Basecamp *2021-04-05* Basically that makes this app useless. You can record, sure...but you can’t then use that recording in anything else. ### 1/5 — This update deleted all my records!!! *2019-03-29* Overnight, the app automatically updated and all of my GPS recordings have been deleted! Wtf? How’s your update coming along? **Developer response:** Hello. We are aware of the issue and are currently working on a fix. Thank you for your patience. In the mean time please do NOT uninstall the app. The recordings should still be in the application, they are simply not detected by the new version. (GPS Stone has changed owner; we did our best to ensure a smooth migration, but apparently some bugs passed through our tests.) ### 1/5 — Nach Update alle Routen weg... *2017-08-06* ...das geht doch bestimmt besser. Meine eifrig aufgezeichneten Routen sind nach dem letzten Update verschwunden... quasi nur eine leere Liste ist vorhanden. Das ist mehr als ärgerlich. ### 1/5 — aucune fiabilité *2014-12-30* À quoi sert de donner une position au 1/100000e de seconde près c-à-d au 10e de millimètre près, si pour 5.25 km il en affiche 4. D'ailleurs sur la carte les trajets sont des plus fantaisistes. ### 1/5 — Total crap *2014-08-24, version 2.2.0* It is crashing down every 20min. instead recording my trips. Don't spend a penny for it. ### 1/5 — Never Worked *2014-08-20* Crashes every time. Never saves data. Waste of money! ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2013-05-02* I bought this app before a hike hoping to use it to help track my way back once I had recorded the path. It crashed about two hours in. It did save the trip, but I learned that it won't show your current location on a saved trip. ### 1/5 — Crashes often *2012-12-31* I like the idea of this app, to record a GPX file of a trip. That file could be useful for traffic accidents or citations. But it crashes after 5-10 miles. I'd rather it record an entire trip, say 500 miles in a day! I suspect it's a compatibility issue. My device is iPhone 4S ios 6.0.1. Please fix, otherwise I'll be forced to write my own GPX recorder and put it on iTunes! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Still works *2026-06-06, version 4.7* Best ever gps . I bought a 2nd hand og SE just to run it and a drum machine ### 5/5 — Outstanding Tool *2026-02-05* This is a great app. It is easy and accurate for everyday outings! Recommend highly! ### 5/5 — Does just what I wanted *2023-09-28* I had no trouble generating a track log that worked beautifully for adding location data to my photos in Lightroom Classic. The purchase price is worth it for an app that isn’t supported by advertising or by selling my data. ### 5/5 — George *2023-02-17, version 4.7* Thanks it’s great app Saved my job ### 5/5 — Super ! *2021-03-07* I use it at the same time as my Gopro 9 which is a real disaster when it comes to GPS reception ... It's a bit restrictive but the result is perfect. A big congratulations! ### 5/5 — Does its job *2020-10-09* Simple, light, not the best in class, but does its job, and does it well. ### 5/5 — Merci pour la mise à jour *2017-08-09* J'utilise cette application depuis des années et je la trouve simple et pratique. Aucun bug. Je transfère ensuite mes fichiers sur Google earth. ### 5/5 — Since 2012 *2017-08-05* I suppose this is the only app I have been constantly using for five years. I'm totally happy that it was updated to meet modern requirements and continue working in iOS 11. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Efficace ! *2017-07-30* Très bon produit qui fonctionne bien et donne des résultats précis. je n'ai pas trouvé comment indiquer l'heure dans le nom des fichiers, de façon internationale (17:20 comme sur l'exemple dans iTunes et pas 7:20 PM) ### 5/5 — Super! *2016-02-23* Ich benutze die App nun schon seit Jahren. Sie funktioniert nach wie vor super, ich benutze sie zum Geotaggen von Fotos, die ich mit meiner DSLR schieße. Eine Anpassung an die iPhone 5 Displaygröße ist wirklich unnötig, da man nur auf „Start“ drückt und die App anschließend seinen Dienst verrichtet. Absolute Kaufempfehlung, deshalb 5 Sterne! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
