It would be better if one could choose the projection (eg UTM), since this could become a useful alternative to buying a standard GPS. It would also enable one to have readings that were compatible with other GPS' working on the same project. 2. It would be nice if one could substitute other maps for the one that is built in. 3. Me McRae acknowledges open-source contributors. It is a shame therefore that he does not have a facility for feedback, which can provide another mode for public contributions. ### 3/5 — App works fine, but could use some updates *2012-06-15, version 2.0.2* This app has a few quirks (such as OpenCycle maps no longer loading, but there are alternatives in the app) and could use an update for things like retina graphics and more recent SDK technologies. But it largely works as advertised and has functional features and settings. ### 2/5 — 地図は白地図 *2012-05-21* 機能は三十パーセント ### 1/5 — Horrible *2012-04-22, version 2.0.2* I want a refound ### 1/5 — Faulty goods *2012-04-10, version 2.0.2* Maps don't load. NOT what it says on the tin! Don't buy at any price. ### 1/5 — GPS *2012-04-07, version 2.0.2* Fake! Fake!! Fake!!! DON'T buy this app, it doesn't even work!!!! ### 3/5 — 淡淡的 *2012-03-08* 体念中 ### 1/5 — NE PAS TÉLÉCHARGER ! *2012-02-22* CETTE APPLI EST UNE GROSSE ARNAQUE ! ### 2/5 — gps *2012-02-17, version 2.0.2* just couldn't get the map to load. ### 1/5 — Help!!! *2012-01-19, version 2.0.2* It won't work to find your location. I walked down the street and my location didn't change at all! Don't buy it! ### 4/5 — Does what is says *2011-12-29, version 2.0.2* Great - just the simple information I was looking for. Impressed with the topo maps as well as an extra. Any chance of getting a "red" display for night vision use? ### 1/5 — Gps *2011-11-26, version 2.0.2* Not a bonafide gps buyer beware ### 3/5 — Very good basic GPS *2011-11-12, version 2.0.2* If you are unable to read, perhaps do not buy this app. It is not a navigation system with turn by turn instructions. Amazing that some fools have complained it doesn't work in their reviews because they cannot find how to get it to tell them where to go... Please learn to read the app description first! Anyway, for a GPS that gives you your location, speed, course, and allows you to overlay onto free maps - this does the job. Frankly, the speed calculation on an iPhone4 is not good. It worked well in my iPhone3, so hopefully that is a bug to be sorted out. Variance of 15kmh every few seconds when the cruise control is on is not a good sign. Sometimes you will wait 10 minutes for a position fix, but at those times other devices are struggling for a fix, so probably not app based issue. It would be nice if the developers thought a bit more about what a basic gps user might want and added those features... Not turn by turn, but waypoints and other typical outdoors type use...the things people buy a basic GPS for... Maybe also access to better maps... For the price - a good app. ### 1/5 — Doesnt work! *2011-10-16, version 2.0.2* Don't waste your money. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Confused *2018-04-12, version 3.1.0* I like the app. Works as described, but I do wonder why a straight GPS app needs full internet access to function... One thing: can the developer or anyone guess as to why the phone screen goes black when attempting to put it into a waterproof case. Happens only with this app... No response from the developer on anything. That’s the reason for the rating. ### 1/5 — Don't get it *2017-10-14, version 3.1.0* Might tell you where you are but does not tell you how to get where you're going, unbelievable this po crap is even listed with gps apps ### 1/5 — Gps *2012-12-11, version 2.0.2* Es una basura, no sirve de nada, no aparecen los mapas, me robaron $13 pesos, pero eso si la factura llego puntualizo ### 1/5 — Too basic to be useful. *2012-12-08, version 2.0.2* No ability to enter & navigate to a co-ordinate? Really? Don't pay for this app. Basic apps are fair enough, but this level of functionality should be free. ### 1/5 — Should have listened... *2012-11-10, version 2.0.2* Two of three "maps" are blank (unavailable?). The rest works as displayed. Hey, it's a PoS, but it was only $.99, and I SHOULD have heeded the bad reviews. ### 1/5 — Gps *2012-07-27* Je les télécharger et je le trouve inutile et nul j'aime pas ### 1/5 — Mrs *2012-06-17, version 2.0.2* Don't get it. I want my money back. ### 1/5 — King *2012-06-04, version 2.0.2* Piece of junk, ad shows a nice graphic however actual display is plain txt. MPH does not work so slow and inaccurate. ### 1/5 — Gps *2012-05-22, version 2.0.2* A big joke, nothing works on this app, wish I had my money back. ### 1/5 — Perdi meu dinheiro *2012-05-04* Uma bosta, não funciona ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Simple but great *2015-01-18, version 3.1.0* I love this app. The screen is easy to read and gives you the vital gps and altitude information. KISS keep it simple stupid and they did a great job. ### 5/5 — Simple, accurate GPS. *2012-10-24, version 2.0.2* This app is great. I use it for my field studies for geology at uni. It works really well. Saves a lot of money over buying a GPS. Ignore reviews saying it doesn't work, those people obviously don't know what a GPS is. ### 5/5 — Great App *2012-08-17, version 2.0.2* Really liked your app. Does exactly as expected. I would like to see a box where you could type some notes and another button to save that note with the gps coordinates as a picture. That way you can save location details. Cheers. ### 5/5 — Great app *2012-06-06, version 2.0.2* A simple easy to read and understand app. I travel around by car everyday and I use it as a speedo and it gives me all the basic info I need. The black & white graphics are very easy to see at a glance. Couldn't ask for a more simple GPS than this. To the guys out there who have complained that they can't find where to input an address so it tells them where to go ! READ THE DETAILS BEFORE YOU DOWN LOAD THE APP TO SAVE YOU THE TROUBLE. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2012-05-14, version 2.0.2* GPS raw data, exactly what it says it would do. ### 5/5 — GPS, Done! :-) *2011-11-07, version 2.0.2* Spot on, exactly what I've been after... Just a proper GPS. not sat nav crap! Well done thank you. ### 5/5 — Mr *2011-09-02, version 2.0.2* I am very happy with this app. I always read negative reviews before positive ones when I buy something to compare the complaints against the praises. I agree this is not a direction finder as much as a historian - I use it to keep track of my walks and give me a record at the end. If I could suggest one improvement it would be to have a trail line follow me on the map, but that's a minor thing. Fun app! ### 5/5 — Exactly as described. *2011-08-03, version 2.0.2* This app is not to show maps or give directions. It is to give coordinates, elevation etc. and does it well. ### 5/5 — Works Exactly As Advertised *2011-07-20, version 2.0.2* I was looking for an app that would provide me with an aggregate of the GPS data, especially altitude (which Compass doesn't show). This gives exactly that, and a little bit more. Only reason I can see for reviewers giving this a 1-star rating is consumer confusion, as GPS has become a generic term associated with software that provides directions. ### 5/5 — ist doch gut *2010-12-27* was habt ihr alle, geht wunderbar auf dem iPhone 4 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
