It very quickly and accurately gives you an os grid reference to check you are where you think you are. Superb, app and can’t recommend it enough. ### 5/5 — Grid *2018-05-19* Good tool ### 5/5 — Perfectly Simple *2017-05-20* Great app, so simple with out any problems. Clear and easy to use when out spotting wildlife and making records that must have a grid ref. ### 5/5 — Prefer to message rather than tweet *2017-05-03* Update. Can share now by text. Great job.. Not bad app but it would be much more helpful to send my ref. to a contact via text message which needs a minimal phone signal rather than tweet a message which requires at reasonable data connection which will not be available in many remote areas please consider **Developer response:** Version 2.2. has just been pushed to the App Store, and should allow you to "share" as you please. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Stuck *2026-01-05* I opened the app after previously downloading unloading. It was stuck on what looked like the results of a previous search. I can’t do as my thing with it, it’s completely stuck on the trails page so no more searches possible until it corrects itself. Useless. ### 1/5 — Ignore *2018-11-20* One minute after downloading it started pushing “dating” ads at me. Deleted. ### 1/5 — Privacy *2018-05-30* Please update the privacy policy to reassure users you’re not harvesting location data and feeding it to advertisers or something equally nefarious. Once that’s done I’ll happily give five stars. ### 2/5 — Grid ref *2015-08-15, version 1.2.2* Does not give a full detailed grid ref :-( ### 4/5 — Good, does what it says, but limited to current location. *2019-02-08* Does what it says, provides grid reference of your current location when in signal. Would be useful to link with maps to allow grid refs of other locations to be quickly found. ### 4/5 — Ability to enter a GPS position for conversion. *2018-04-08* Great, simply product that does what it says on the tin, thanks for all your hard work... A really useful feature would be to be able to enter an Irish OS position and for it to be converted to a WGS84 OSGB36 GPS position and vice versa so that on can find it on google or bing maps for pre planning of a route... Thanks again. ### 4/5 — Another page? *2015-04-12* Great app. Works well. How about a second function similar to the main page that allows you to enter either OSGB or Lat Long and display it in the other formats. ### 5/5 — Grid ref *2023-10-19* Exactly what is needed when collecting specimens in the field. Accurate, quick and easy to use. ### 5/5 — Calling natural history recorders~ *2021-06-04* Tap the app and you can instantly note where your natural history record is located. Invaluable data. ### 5/5 — Denzil *2021-02-16* Something so simple can be so useful 😊 ## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent *2021-01-29* Does exactly what I want. I had tried other apps, but this is by far the best. ### 5/5 — Easy and accurate to use *2020-09-26* A very handy little app if you want to pass on your whereabouts to someone else ### 5/5 — Simple OS grid reference *2019-12-22* Just does what it says. Seems accurate when checked with paper map. Useful in emergency as you can send grid reference to others so they know where you are - as long as you have a signal. ### 5/5 — Impressed me *2019-05-10* Now my GPS is virtually useless ### 5/5 — Scout *2019-04-18* Excellent for confirming your map reading skills ### 5/5 — Simple, reliable app. *2018-10-26* Does what it says it does without fuss or complication. Thank you to the developer. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2018-09-13* Does exactly what I needed. I needed this to check existing grid references on a database. Finding lots of existing issues. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
