### 2/5 — Software doesn’t work

*2026-07-08*

Recorded and saved several GPS tracks, but when I checked the files, they were empty.
I did contact the developer, and while they were responsive, everything I recorded is gone.
It’s worth mentioning that while this software is free, it generates files in a bplist format, which is completely incompatible with any other GPS tracking reading software (the typical format is .gpx). The only way to read the files is to purchase the developer’s program for $7.

### 3/5 — Developer website

*2025-03-06*

I haven’t actually used this app yet. I just wanted to let the developer know that the link here for his website is missing a w. Should be www, instead of just ww.

### 4/5 — Awesome

*2025-01-14*

Awesome, I’ve been using it for over a decade. Request for developer: it would be INCREDIBLY useful to be able to click on a point on the map and read the latitude, longitude, altitude, and timestamp. I know you can do this in the GPX Binder macOS app, but 1) I often need this information on-the-go when I just have my phone and 2) I often need this for an ongoing log that isn't saved yet. I will upgrade my review from 4 to 5 stars if you do this.

### 1/5 — 保存機能が壊れている

*2023-09-18*

保存ダイアログに名前を入れてもファイルがアプリ上から見れない。またフォルダにはGPXBinder_Dat.dat という小さなファイルが出来るだけで保存できなかった。

**Developer response:** SimpleLoggerは専用フォーマットで保存を行いますので正常な動作です。他のアプリで保存したログを見る場合はgpx等の汎用フォーマットに書き出してご利用下さい。なお使い方が不明な際はレビューではなくメールでのお問い合わせをお願いいたします。

### 5/5 — iOS14.6 iPhoneSE初代で使用

*2022-12-14*

感謝しかない。 SEはバッテリー容量が小さいです。 距離での取得(記録？)も出来ますが、時間間隔での取得(記録？)だとバッテリー消費をかなり抑えられるので重宝しています。 ウォーキング、ランニング、自転車などで10分間隔で使用しています。 iOS15.xで使用できる方がいたらコメントくださると、ありがたいです。

### 1/5 — ファイルに保存できない

*2022-08-17*

3年くらい前にこのアプリを見つけ、必要充分な機能に満足していたのですが、昨日久しぶりに使ったところ、ログの記録はできたようですが、ファイルに保存できなくなっていました。
保存自体の挙動がおかしく、保存ボタンを押しても何もできません。
ファイルアプリで見ると、300バイト程度の空のファイルができているだけでした。
長距離の記録がなくなってしまったので、かなりショックです。

iphone8
ios15.6です。

**Developer response:** ご不便をおかけして申し訳ありませんでした。
保存ができない等の不具合が発生した場合はレビューではなくメールにてお問い合わせをお願いいたします。詳しい状況を伺った上で原因の特定と対処方法をお知らせいたします。なお記録中のログは手動で消去するまで本体に残っていますので、もし消去を行なっていない場合はメールにてご連絡ください。

### 4/5 — 時々ログが保存できなくなることがあります。

*2022-04-26*

いつも旅行の記録をつけるのに利用させていただいております。
操作が簡単で使いやすく、重宝しておりますが、ログを保存する際に、時々File could not be opened と表示され保存ができず、指示の通り時間を置いても改善しませんでした。
ご確認いただけますと幸いです。

### 4/5 — すごくいい！けど......

*2021-09-27*

iOS15での使用でバックグラウンドでログを取ってくれません。 個人的に他のロガーアプリよりは気に入ってるので改善してくれると嬉しいです！

【9/28 追記】アプリの位置情報設定を「常に」から「アプリの使用中のみ」に変更するとバックグラウンドで動作してくれるようになりました。

### 4/5 — 便利です(v4.0)

*2020-11-30*

GPSログに関してだけはシンプルで使いやすく、ログの転送もほぼ満足です。
や
それから、ログを記録中に他のアプリから戻ると現在位置に強制的に戻ります。前のタグ付けした場所を参照して使っているときにはこの機能は非常に煩わしいです。現在位置をタップした時だけ現在位置に戻るような設定を選べるとありがたいです。

### 5/5 — ログ取り自動スタート機能の実装希望

*2020-10-17*

バイクヘルメットのBluetoothとペアリングをトリガーに自動的にログ取り開始をIOSのShortcutsのAutomationで実現させたいのですが、このアプリならシンプルで最適だと思うのです。

たとえば、起動人にClipboardをチェックして文字列で”autostart”だったらログ取りを起動時からONにするというような変更はできないでしょうか？ (既にあるともっと良いですか)
