### 1/5 — No Update! Poor form developers.

*2018-10-29*

Was a very useful app, pity it hasn’t been updated to be used in the current operating systems.

### 2/5 — Waiting on update to OS11

*2018-04-04*

Currently unusable

### 1/5 — Please update

*2018-01-15*

This app no longer works with the latest IOS 11. Please update.

### 2/5 — Was Good but now useless

*2017-10-14*

Not iOS 11 compatible so I’ll be deleting it soon if no update is provided. Shame really as it was a useful app, so I’ll give it 2 stars for any non ios11 users that need a way to convert navigation formats.

### 1/5 — Spend spend spend for each little feature

*2016-11-12*

Poor: Buy the app then keep spending to use basic features that should be included in the base price. Totally uneconomical.

### 1/5 — Comprar Datum Novamente?

*2016-07-31*

Eu comprei o Datum no app Basic GPS, tenho que comprar nesse também? Gostaria de usar o mesmo nesse aplicativo,

### 1/5 — Fog

*2016-04-11*

Rubbish, don't buy!

### 3/5 — Does what it says.

*2013-11-28*

Firstly I'd like to say this app converts very well..,
Personally I purchased this app solely to convert Maidenhead to BNG and was very disappointed to find that Maidenhead was not an option even after I'd purchased the addon pack, so would the publisher be so kind as to include the Maidenhead grid in the next update this would make the app far more attractive to those from the HAM Radio world as no other app out there does just that...
Many thanks. :)

### 5/5 — Map Tools

*2013-09-26, version 5.1*

Awesome app for converting different mapping 
datums

### 4/5 — Lon Lat to UTM

*2012-03-14*

Great works well
