Not great on iOS
Have used Handy on an Android and it works well and is a great app. However, on iOS I simply cannot get the app to show up in my “location services” thus rendering it completely useless on iOS. It’s a shame because my preference would e been to continue using Handy over other similar apps
Hi
Very helpful app and the response of developer is to be appreciated
After few days of using
This is my 2nd review about this app. There was some problem which caused the app to crash. So I wrote it in my previous review, and the developer was very helpful to solve the problem as soon as he can (within few hours). Now everything is running fine in this app. Thanks to the developer.
Response from developer
Please email a KML file that does not open in the app to us using contact details at www.binaryearth.net so we can analyse the issue.
Uploading coordinates
App continues to crash when attempting to upload coordinates as waypoints from a kml file.
Response from developer
Please email using the contact details at www.binaryearth.net for assistance.
Awesome
Found the app from a friend. Have been using it for three years hunting and trapping. Cannot go without it ! Have pasted it on to my friends. Superb. Easy to use , accurate, and all the info I want. Northern Alberta bush.
Great GPS app for position, speed, logging ect
This is a great app lets you view and log your position and speed in multiple Coordinate systems i.e. Lat&Long or a gridded Northing and Easting. It even supports custom CRS's which is useful if your maps or other data are in an obscure coordinate system. Would be great if you could export waypoints via emails, but currently just have to download via iTunes.

Response from developer
HandyGPS now has an option on the main page menu called "Email current data" which will send all the data currently loaded in the app as a KML file attached to an email.
Just Great!
Powerful and intuitive gps app that does everything I want when the expensive Garmin is left at home. Prompt, effective, & congenial support from the developer as well.
Wonderful App
There are lots of GPS Apps. This one proved the most useful for capturing tracks and waypoints and then sharing this information with other users. Excellent support.
Great for bushwalking
Very easy to use. Great to have UTM and eastings/northings for use with a topographic map. Trying to see if I can avoid carrying a phone and a dedicated separate GPS. Only recommend intermittent use to avoid drain on battery.
Great little app
This is great, turns your phone into a simple, fast and light-weight GPS. There are tons of features, without it being a bloatly mess. Been using for a while and have found it super useful on a number of occaisions! The import KML feature is great. Just be careful with your battery life. Also, the developer is very polite and receptive to feedback.

Great App
Great app thanks
Works really well
A good replacement for my old eTrex.
Neat app for walkers
Had fun tracking our progress and the kids got a good lesson in basic navigation. Cheaper than a GPS!
Good:)
Great app! Thanks for custom datum. Missing custom maps.
Very 'Handy' app
Excellent App! I use this app almost daily when undertaking field survey work. Much more convenient to carry my phone than an extra GPS and compass. The support by the developer for this app is top rate. I emailed him a couple of questions and received a helpful and friendly response almost immediately. Maybe the ability to email kml files, calculate distance and area or import .shp files would make a great app even better.

Great app!
Very useful for recording your track on a horse ride or bushwalk and for finding your way back again. I love being able to see where I've been in Google Earth when I get home too. You can even send your current location as a map link in an email. The only thing I'd like to see added is an elevation profile. Keep up the good work!
