Fine on phone, bad on ipad

can’t add layers on my ipad like I can on the phone, limiting usefulness of app. Something is messed up in the interface, there is no “cancel” or “add” buttons on the ipad to add the layer. Seems like it is because the ipad creates a square window the add layer interface pops up in, but the interface is copied from the phone version hence the buttons are never drawn (they are off screen bottom).

Great but a suggestion

The stake out function should show compass heading to 2. Decimal Places. N20.15 is not equal to N20.2 it gets rounded too. Surveys use two decimal places

Works well with SparkFun RTK Torch over BLE

Working well but needs a key surveyor tool

Need to be able to mark a point via GPS and use an application feature to draw a line and add a point a set distance and compass heading away from starting point (iron pin)

NTRIP broken on version 1.2.1

NTRIP is broken on latest version and without NTRIP this app has very little use.

Fixed Feb 11th!! NTRIP in USA broke on Feb 7, 2025

Very timely repair when NTRIP broke

Going to test on my SparkFun Torch soon (March 2025)

Works great on iPhone, but external GNSS appears latest release broke NTRIP for USA users

NTrip in USA broke Feb 7, 2025

Works great but appears latest release broke NTRIP for USA users

No longer works with NTrip

This is (was) a great app. The update from a few days ago isn’t working with NTrip so I can’t get the full accuracy out of my instrument.

No support

Bugging out and crashing

Good, with much room to improve

The app is free and enables precise surveying using GNSS receivers.

It has many rough edges that make for an unpleasant and slow experience though. The biggest pain point is the inability to auto reconnect to Bluetooth GNSS receivers or to NTRIP servers, followed by the inability to store multiple NTRIP credentials or even to support copying and pasting into the NTRIP configuration fields.

BLE sensor and NTRIP servers constantly disconnect

There really should be an auto reconnect mechanism for these, without this app is pretty useless.

Solid App but has its limits

I intended to use this app to connect to my RTK receiver and collect data on my iPhone. Unfortunately it will not connect to the app!

Where is version 1.1.1?

Great app, but version 1.1.1 with improved BLE GNSS support is not in App Store.l?!?

Bug Fix Required

The application has lots of bug, which need to be fix immediately.
If I have more template, it’s doesn’t has scroll and we didn’t able to Ok that template.

Area boundary also has some issue and when we show the level, it doesn’t show in the screen.

This updates need to be improve as like android application. The android application is very smooth and user friendly. Which need to follow.

Works alright

Works alright altho the NTRIP client doesn’t work for me unless I’m on wifi, which really limits what I can do with my RTK survey receiver.

The best gis for iOS

Menus don’t work

None of the side menus work, so I’m unable to connect it to an external device. Looks like the android version works a lot better.
