User reviews

No

The app was last updated in 2019. There is no way to stop navigating to waypoints, even when you reach them.

Try not to use any features of the app because if you click something you get an ad. The ads are constant and too long for this app to be useful.

Basic waypoint app

This simple functionality is what I was looking for, but the ads are a most annoying delay to get to what you want to do. I wouldnโ€™t mind paying a few dollars to get rid of the ads!

Unable to use app due to ads

Every time you tab a button an ads starts. It toke mine to load a single waypoint due to all the ads I had to watch. What a waste of time

What it says on the box

Lightweight app provides a compass and navigation. Map feature reveals location and height ASL. Waypoints can be saved and exported and used in other apps. Iโ€™ve used this since the beginning and it still works!

Great app โ€ฆ frustrated with service!

I have been a very satisfied user of PRO GPS for many years and have promoted this app for use by many others. Without notice my app stopped working and was no longer available on the Apple Store. Looking for help, I stumbled across โ€œPure GPSโ€. On the surface it looked and felt like the app I had been so pleased with and was created by the same company. Looking for help to transfer my Waypoints from the old to the new app, I contacted Codeburners from their help site. No response!!! Odd but I continued to try them over several days, sending several emails. No response! What the heck? So after manually adding my waypoints to the new app (considerable effort due to the many waypoints I use) I again was able to use my favored app. Not so fast โ€ฆ yes it worked like the old app but the advertising pop ups were endless and rendered the new app all but useful. You could hardly add a waypoint without a pop-up overtaking your screen. I had gladly paid a fee on the previous app to avoid this but now since their support people do not respond, Iโ€™m in search for another app that works as well as the one I had from Codeburners. Unable to find it so far. They all have lots of needless features that complicate usage. Hoping Codeburners will contact me as I would favor their app over all others!!!
