### 5/5 — Great for AAC

*2026-07-30, version 7.22.1*

Great App use it all the time

### 5/5 — Great app, needs more

*2026-07-24, version 7.22.1*

Great app. Use it all the time. Could use the ability to put in lines between points or even create boxes. Range rings would also be a nice feature. Otherwise love this app above all other navigation apps.

### 5/5 — Best app I ever used

*2026-06-28, version 7.22.1*

I have been using this app for about a week, and each day I am more and more amazed. It is the best app I have ever used.

### 5/5 — MILGPS= great app

*2026-06-27, version 7.22.1*

Very useful app, from marking and projecting waypoint locations, to measuring and plotting routes.

### 5/5 — Top notch

*2026-06-26*

Fantastic coverage in remote areas

### 5/5 — The best app for the use case.

*2026-06-25, version 7.22.1*

I use this app for both military and law-enforcement applications and it is by far the best app for keeping track of and sending waypoints and coordinates .

### 5/5 — Best imagery app and excellent stand in for ATAK.

*2026-06-14, version 7.22.0*

Highly recommended this apl for anyone trying to dial in their land navigation. It’s like having tactical imagery at your fingertips. There could be more drawing tools. But outside of that there isn’t much to complain about. Well worth the small price. Undoubtedly better than TACNAV. DOL

### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2026-06-10, version 7.21.0*

One of the best apps I’ve used.My Android friends are always asking about it.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-06-08, version 7.22.0*

I use this App everyday, work in the ND oil fields, it's accurate, simple interface, and easy to use from the start. The only other thing I would like is the ability to export the waypoints enmass vs individually.

### 5/5 — Great app for 12 bucks!

*2026-05-29, version 7.21.0*

This app is pretty robust. 12 bucks and you get pretty decent MGRS or grid locations. Please note, your phone isn't the best compass, or tool for pinpoint accuracy. Knowing this should help set the expectation that it could be off by a minimum of 5 meters. However, using this to plot veteran gravesites for flag detail, seems to be spot on. Thank you, MilGPS!
