### 1/5 — IOS26 fail

*2026-04-03, version 3.7.4*

This app connects to the GPS with IOS 26 but will not find a position or see any satellites.

### 1/5 — 3.7.4へのアップデートは情報を得てから慎重に

*2026-03-29, version 3.7.4*

iOS26.4で3.7.4にアップデート後BT接続、バッテリー情報、ソフトバージョンはアプリから見えるが肝心な衛星情報が取得出来なくなってしまった。XGPS150の動作状況や衛星受信感度を確認するのに必須だったので困っています。

### 1/5 — Yet another company resting on its laurels.

*2026-03-26, version 3.7.4*

Yet another company resting on its laurels.
I have an XGPS160 and app is garbage, device shows promise but they don’t update firmware and even with massive changes going on in the world of GPS over the last few years they don’t even have updated hardware to the XGPS160 to take advantage of it. So, save your money. The GPS in your phone is way better and this is another manufacturer not keeping up with the times.

Update March, 2026:
No new product releases from this zombie company, this POS still uses a USB mini connector in 2026 and app looks like it was written in 2005 by a high school student.

### 1/5 — Xgps150 not compatible

*2026-03-24, version 3.7.3*

I had a old 150 and not able to get satellite reception on io 17

### 1/5 — iOS26 update

*2026-01-25, version 3.7.3*

After updating iPad software to iOS26, installed apps requiring gps information, ie. Jepp FD Pro, WSI, SkyPath, etc. stopped giving location while in offline mode with XGPS160 receiving excellent signal. Worked well with iOS18.

### 1/5 — It worked fine now it doesn’t

*2026-01-01, version 3.7.3*

I updated the sky pro GPS status tool app and now it is not working with my Dual GPS receiver. It connects with the Dual GPS receiver and it shows battery and connection, but no satellites and no coordinates.

### 1/5 — Do not buy it

*2025-11-24, version 3.7.3*

I have been trying to Connect my Iphone and was Imposible

### 2/5 — Galileo not supported

*2025-05-31, version 3.6.20*

Please add Galileo system support

### 3/5 — Works, but it could use an update

*2025-03-30, version 3.6.20*

I’m impressed with the hardware side of the Dual SkyPro. For the software, there are still a few issues. From an iPhone, one *CAN* change the recording interval. On an iPad, it crashes if you try to change it. (Minor for me, but annoying). There’s not really a switch to toggle data logging on or off. Instead, one uses a switch called “Always record position when turned on” YES/NO. So it’s not just setting the default, it is, in effect, a toggle.  It’s a little confusing. (Minor issue). GPS lock seems good even when flying at Mach .85 across the ocean and as well as from inside my own home. So no issues with basic positioning, which tells me that it’s a pretty decent receiver. Nice feature is that it can broadcast Bluetooth GPS to multiple people (pilots on same crew for example) so that all iPads will have a good position. Other than these minor issues, the  XGPS160 is just fine!

### 5/5 — Very good app and devices

*2024-07-26, version 3.6.20*

I’ve been using the xp150 since it was launched, years back and I still have it and use, rock solid and never let me down. Can work with pc and Apple and fast connect with iPad mini 6. Good work.
