### 3/5 — Inutilizzabile

*2015-10-15, version 2.0.1*

Senza un aggiornamento

### 4/5 — Aggiornare immediatamente!!

*2015-10-06, version 2.0.1*

Da quando ho aggiornato il software dell'iPhone non funziona più..peccato, è una app utilissima!! Aggiornare asap!!!

### 4/5 — DA AGGIORNARE IOS 9.1

*2015-09-28, version 2.0.1*

DA QUANDO HO AGGIORNATO AL NUOVO IOS 9.1 NON FUNZIONA PIU' ... URGE AGGIORNAMENTO

### 3/5 — Three figure Longitude

*2014-10-14, version 1.2.0*

Longitude degrees are limited to two figures. Should be able to directly enter three figures, e.g. 141 deg. east.

### 4/5 — GPS UTILITY

*2012-07-06, version 1.1.6*

Just what I was looking for excellent app for using  with Autodesk C3D

### 2/5 — Geht so!

*2011-11-10, version 1.1.6*

Ansicht alles Top, das Problem ist nur, es stürzt immer wieder ab !

### 4/5 — Très bien

*2010-07-09, version 0*

Manque le français mais surtout la possibilité d' une transformation en RGF93
Bientôt ?

### 4/5 — Presque parfait

*2009-11-26, version 0*

J'aurai aimé donner une 5éme étoile à ce super soft de conversion des coordonnées GPS. Sauf qu'il manque pour la france le système géodésique RGF93 qui est le standard français utilisé par IGN et le gouvernement géomètre etc...Et également le regret que ce ne soit une version qu'en anglais même si ça ne pose pas trop de problème. Sinon un super soft qui permet de recalculé ses points pour les balancers dans googles Earth par exemple quand on se balade en rando en WGS84 et système de projection en UTM.

### 3/5 — Great start for non-battery killing interface

*2009-04-10, version 0*

For hiking and climbing I use UTM. When this app has it (accurately) it will meet my needs. Map, compass, UTM coordinates and I'm good.

### 4/5 — Super pratique !

*2009-02-26, version 0*

La possibilité de mémoriser de nombreux points convertis m'aurait fait mettre la 5eme étoile. Peut-être lors d'un upgrade...

### 1/5 — Uses GPS always no during use only

*2017-05-12, version 2.0.2*

Why this app needs to always use your GPS location even when the app is closed I don't know but it does. Fix this and I'll rate higher.

### 1/5 — Crap

*2015-12-12, version 2.0.1*

Keeps crashing after update! CRAP! Fix it!!!

### 1/5 — App is Worthless

*2015-11-23, version 2.0.1*

This app used to work great, but with a recent update it just crashes. And developer website is worthless.

### 1/5 — NO FUNCIONA CON IOS 9, NO LO COMPREN!!! ...

*2015-10-27, version 2.0.1*

Era muy útil cuando funcionaba, con la actualización a iOS 9 dejó de funcionar, es una lástima.

### 1/5 — Last Update this went to CRAP

*2015-10-27, version 2.0.1*

I have used this app for years without complaint, but...After the last update it has gone to crap!  You can input a Lat Long for conversion and it will change the numbers to what it wants and will not budge! What was good is now worthless!

### 1/5 — Doesn't work with iOS 9+

*2015-10-13, version 2.0.1*

If your not going to update your iDevice, works fine but used to crash from time to time. If using iOS 9 or higher, doesn't work after opening it up. It crashes out.

### 1/5 — Not working since iPhone update

*2015-09-27, version 2.0.1*

Not working since latest update

### 1/5 — new version is broken

*2015-03-12, version 2.0*

please put 'convert current position' back in. we are a rural fire/EMS agency that relied heavily on quickly delivering different formats to helicopters and other responding units. this app used to be THE BEST for doing that, now it doesn't do it at all.

### 1/5 — Gives wrong grid coordinates

*2009-02-15, version 0*

The MGRS coordinates are way off, they are more than 5 kilometers off. Not worth the price. DO NOT BUY!

### 1/5 — Not ready for prime time

*2008-12-21, version 0*

Poor UI, I can't find ANY maps; the developer's web site is a useless page with the company name and nothing more.The UI needs significant improvement and there needs to be a user guide (part of the app or web based).

### 5/5 — iphone xr

*2019-06-13, version 2.0.2*

pls update

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2015-12-16, version 2.0.2*

The most recent updates have restored lost functionality and fixed bugs that caused the app to crash. It works great and is worth the money!

### 5/5 — Sbrigatevi!!!!!!

*2015-11-07, version 2.0.1*

Urge aggiornamento!!
Al momento è inutilizzabile!!!
Non funziona!!!
Grazie!!

### 5/5 — Grazie

*2011-04-30, version 1.1.6*

2.39 euro spesi bene! Bravi.

### 5/5 — Use topo maps using MGRS with your iPhone!

*2010-11-21, version 1.1.6*

If you have ever been too lazy to teach yourself the ins and outs of the Military Grid Reference System (used on Australian topographic maps) no need to worry.  This app converts your GPS position in a variety of angular coords to MGRS and UTM, and vice versa. It can be used as a calculator or it can convert your current position as sensed by the iPhone. This means you can productively use your iPhone GPS with Australian topo maps even when there is no cell phone coverage and you cannot receive Google Maps or Bing or anything else wirelessly. It has different map datums including the usual WGS 84 but also includes Australian 1965 which suits many of my maps. If you are an avid backcountry hiker/skier, the iPhone and the topo maps are a great combination. And of course you can photograph the topo map at home with some grid reference lines enumerated by hand, so you only need take the iPhone if you wish.

### 5/5 — Worked for me

*2009-02-16, version 0*

Worked great, got me out of a few jams where I was given dd m.m and needed pure decimal degrees for my iPhone. Can't vouche for the other formats, but the ones I used worked just fine.

### 5/5 — Einfach super!

*2009-01-04, version 0*

Das Prog. ist einfach total super! Läuft ohne Probleme. Umwandlung der eigenen Position möglich!

### 5/5 — Incroyable

*2009-01-01, version 0*

Ma position sur Maps en MGRS ou UTM, il va y avoir de la triche aux exercices topos !
Génial.

### 5/5 — Does exactly what I needed! Well worth 99 cents!!

*2008-12-18, version 0*

This is certainly worth a buck! You may not always be within range of a cell phone signal, but you're almost always visible to GPS. As a soldier with an iPhone, this application gives me an easy way to find my 10 digit grid coordinate anywhere I am in the world.  I hit the "present location" button, then "convert". The bottom of the list has the map designator (two letters) and grid coordinates to the meter (10 digit- but watch the accuracy since commercial GPS is usually only good to 30 meters). As a plus, there's a button to verify my location on Google maps (when there's an Internet or cell connection). I may not always have a DAGR or PLUGR (military GPS), but I've always got my iPhone in my pocket. Now I've always got my grid coordinates, degree of precision, and elevation.  iPhones in Iraq and Afghanastan? This app's for you!

### 4/5 — Needs update

*2015-12-03, version 2.0.1*

It does not work anymore. Please fix the problem as soon as possibile.
