Sometimes I have to respond into the field and it has enabled me to put in coordinates and find where the call is. It has been very accurate every time. ### 5/5 — My favorite Navigation App *2026-05-20* I’ve utilized MilGPS all the time. I’ve had this app for years and it is definitely my favorite to use. Route planning, noting landmark co-ordinates, distances, verifying pre-planned azimuths, points of interest, towers/buildings for resections, repeater stations, etc. Additionally I use MilGPS at certain instances during a hike/navigation exercise, in order to verify my bearings, distances, timing, datums/declination/and grid reference systems match. Some of my USGS maps are NAD27/Old MGRS, so I utilize MilGPS to assist in the translation process. Especially if communicating locations to those employing contemporary NAD83/WGS84/MGRS. ### 5/5 — Every *2026-05-13, version 7.21.0* Very useful ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-05-12* I can’t remember how long I’ve had this. Maybe 10 plus years. Use it all the time. It’s brilliant! ### 3/5 — Great app, BUTT *2026-05-04, version 7.21.0* Love this app but it NEEDS route planning and ways to label areas. ### 5/5 — Best Nav App *2026-05-02* This is the best nav app out there! Easy to use and understand. My only suggestion is to also have Apple Watch functionality as well. At least to see location and plot and navigate to way points. ### 5/5 — Mil *2026-04-27, version 7.20.2* Excellent ### 5/5 — Top notch *2026-04-20* Fantastic coverage in remote areas ### 5/5 — Choose waypoint is a game changer !. One request. *2026-04-20* New feature request (if possible): A simple way to register where I park my car so I can later find it (arrow and distance). I know I can currently do this, but I have to create a new waypoint and remember to delete it if I’m doing this a number of times a week. So, maybe a way to “auto-delete” the waypoint after a day for this purpose ? ### 5/5 — Best app I ever used *2026-04-17, version 7.20.2* 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 — Great! *2026-04-15, version 7.20.2* 100% ### 5/5 — Soldier tested approval *2026-04-14, version 7.20.2* I used this as a method to test a landnav course. Super simple, led me right to my points with stupid accuracy. Even with significant tree cover this locked on in seconds. This app is the reason we confiscated all phones before the course. ### 5/5 — Great app, needs more *2026-04-09, version 7.19.0* Great app. Use it all the time. Could use the ability to put in lines between points or even create boxes. Otherwise love this app above all other navigation apps. ### 5/5 — 👍 *2026-03-16, version 7.20.0* Good app ### 5/5 — Top notch *2026-03-06, version 7.19.0* Fantastic coverage in remote areas ### 4/5 — GRAPHICS! *2026-03-04, version 7.19.0* This app would be 10 stars if we could draw graphics and have military symbols! I use this app all the time in the field but it is lacking the ability to draw! ### 5/5 — Officer Approved *2026-03-02, version 7.19.0* For the strategic planner, military bound member, and task oriented leader, you need this app. After 5 years of using Mil GPS, both at home and abroad in over 6 foreign countries, I can verifiably say this app is a MUST. Don’t be cheap. Spend the money and get after your plans. Share the overlay with colleagues, use it to guide you towards critical link-up points. Connect it with Apple and Google Maps. This app easily has potential to save lives. I’m fairly certain it already has. Can’t say enough good things. Big Sustain. RLTW. ### 5/5 — MilGPS *2026-03-01* Really good App, it could be improved with a back drop which is ordnance survey. ### 5/5 — Awesome Nav app *2026-02-27, version 7.19.0* This app is 5-star, I just need more shapes, colors, icons. It’d be cool to have all the NATO icons too. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Great App BUT *2025-04-27, version 7.16.4* Love this app. Been using it for years. BUT it no longer lets me plot points and make overlays, which is a critical function. No customer service to contact either. ### 1/5 — Won’t run on iPad *2025-02-17, version 7.16.4* Won’t run on iPad ### 1/5 — Mr Hewson *2023-11-01, version 7.11.0* It would be nice to get a guid how to use? ### 1/5 — Not very good *2012-07-17, version 2.0* Puts you in the rite area but grids are of and map codes for MGRS are not correct. ### 2/5 — Operation manual needed *2026-02-27, version 7.19.0* Needs clear operation manual ### 2/5 — Doesn’t work with iPad M1 11inch *2026-01-13, version 7.17.0* Doesn’t work with iPad M1 11inch ### 2/5 — Below Average *2025-11-22* Good with map detail and use of multiple grid systems. Don’t like how minimal you can edit overlays, would be ideal to be able to add lines etc to overlays. ### 2/5 — Works best for getting close *2025-01-14, version 7.16.4* Does not pin point ### 2/5 — KSA *2024-12-23, version 7.16.4* التطبيق جيد ولكن لا اعتمده كثيراً لأن يوجد لدي تطبيقات ممثالة تدعم اللغة العربية ### 2/5 — ZOOM *2024-10-27, version 7.9.3* I am not being able to zoom more then 1 km in some locations? Why is that? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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.
