Needs Apple Watch integration to make it the perfect app for all land nave needs. ### 4/5 — Outstanding app but missing…… *2021-12-03* This app would be a 5 stars if the developer adds the Apple Watch functionality to the app. Looking at my phone every time makes the whole event a bit clunky. I should be able to start the app on my phone and then sync it to my watch to me the whole navigation easier. I would pay extra just to have that functionality. I hope the developers hear me out ### 4/5 — Useful to a Point *2019-07-18* I love the app and it’s been really useful at times; however, not being able to download the map overlays leaves some to be desired. OK app overall. ### 4/5 — Great app but.. *2019-07-10* Really great app simple to use and accurate would really wish it had a feature to save maps into the app itself to make loading faster (make it manual so it doesnt take up much space) and it would be amazing to get a iwatch app to make things easier. ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2019-06-13* Needed to quickly plot about 20 points to verify land Nav course. Other resources were not time friendly. Pretty accurate location And compass. Point mapping Was the best part ### 5/5 — Saved *2018-10-06* This app saved me from a lot of pain .... you guys are the real MVP ### 5/5 — Fool Proof *2018-08-26* Fool proof ### 5/5 — Works perfectly in the field *2017-06-15* Only thing I would request is that the app only uses location when the app is open, not all the time. Right now it's either all the time or not at all ### 5/5 — iOS 11 *2017-06-12, version 1.8* I really enjoy having this application and I use it a lot being in the military, and it has never failed me! Please update your app to 64-bit so when the new iOS comes out. I can still use it. You don't have to do anything else, just upgrade that one part lol ### 5/5 — Would be perfect *2017-04-18, version 1.8* Would be perfect if they had Apple Watch capabilities. I don't like having to pull out the phone. I would rather just use my watch. Please add this feature! I still love this app though. It's awesome ### 5/5 — Great app *2016-10-15, version 1.8* Would like to edit points and change colors of pins. 5 stars. ### 5/5 — Great app *2016-09-04, version 1.8* Used this both before deployment and during. Works really well. Was able to pull up coordinates faster than my dagr, and got me to every point I needed. ### 5/5 — Outstanding!! *2016-06-18, version 1.8* Punch in the grid and your off. Gets you were your going with ease. Would recommend to anyone for assistance with land Nav. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2016-04-09, version 1.8* Very basic very simple very easy to use. Was exactly what I was looking for. Set waypoints or locations and with no internet service will tell you the heading you need to use to get there. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bad product *2026-02-10* Terrible app, very outdated and doesn’t work ### 1/5 — WTH *2024-03-05, version 2.2* I get the 1.99 cost for this app,but what was the extra 42.39 for,if you are going to charge this for an app put the full cost up front and not try to rip someone off ### 1/5 — Crashes constantly *2022-03-22* Crashes constantly, not useful. ### 1/5 — Don't bother *2015-07-26* Waste of money. Freezes, the only thing that works is the compass and even that is off calibration ### 1/5 — I Don't Think So!! Not Even Close *2013-06-17, version 1.2* Used this app for a mission. Used it to verify coordinates. Talking about a waste of a Dollar! Was 250M of from every point. Glad this was only to verify position. Map and Compass is always the best first source for finding out where your objective is. By the way 2 others teams used it as we'll to verify. 250M of for all three of us..... In the wrong direction!! Refund pending. ### 2/5 — It’s ok not great *2017-11-12* It’s ok if you’re in a built up area as soon as you’re on a training area it doesn’t work so great ### 2/5 — Good for a grid *2012-08-26* This app does provide a grid and a general location of where you are on a 1:50k map. Their are several other free apps that do this as well. The $ of the app should be free since the map data is very limited. You can NOT use this as a map for navigating. The images are too far out to see any details of where you are exactly or depicting terrain that is changing steeply. This app is basically good for getting a grid or finding a general location. It does not help you in any way pre plan a route. ### 3/5 — Needs screen to stay on. *2022-06-13* Needs the option to have the screen stay on regardless of iOS settings. Keeps going off. Could also do with a ‘sort by distance’ on locations. ### 3/5 — NEEDS TO BE UPDATED!!! *2016-11-27, version 1.8* I like this app but is now incompatible with the new iOS 10! I can't verify my points anymore by tapping on the pins! Please fix!! It's a paid app and customers shouldn't have to go through these issues! ### 3/5 — App works. But doesn't. *2012-05-31, version 1.0* While the app does work, a 10 digit grid is actually an 8 digit grid when you have to input the grid designator. 8 digit gets you within 100m of your point. Which in thick forest looking for a specific point, a white ammo can in this case, is useless. If it was a true 10digit gps, this would be the best land nav app out there. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Reliable *2025-09-03* Reliable app that works even with little to no network once downloaded. I wish I could save routes and create new ones. ### 5/5 — Watch version of app *2025-07-18, version 2.2* Great app. Helped me a lot with confirming my points. I do wish there was a smart watch (Apple Watch/ android watch) adaptation!!! Developers if you can, please 😂 ### 5/5 — Tehe *2024-11-05* Good ### 5/5 — Best land nab app *2022-07-09* This app is awesome, brings you right where you need to go. I downloaded other apps like MIL GPS that cost $12 and this one is much better for 1/6 the cost. Highly recommend! ### 5/5 — Definitely the app to use *2021-08-26* This is hands down the best app to use to cheat durning land nav as a private helped me sham out and turned what would have taken me 4 hours into an hour long endeavor ### 5/5 — Very good app *2021-07-29* Works great on the red diamond course. ### 5/5 — Great app but... *2020-09-21* Would appreciate an Apple Watch version of the app but it is the best at what it does. ### 5/5 — Great *2019-10-31* I have used this on several land nav courses and on military convoys. It works perfectly! ### 5/5 — You rock *2019-10-01* Best one hands down. Now I gotta make sure these privates are not using it during land nav ha! Apple watch app next maybe. I'll pay for that ### 5/5 — 1st Time rating an app in 5 years of using App Store *2019-09-19* Awesome app, saved me on the land Nav course. Would definitely recommend for ROTC, army purposes like setting up points. It even has an arrow that points in your point direction and displays the distance. Would definitely recommend --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
