Curious if the devs are still keeping up with this app or is it going the way of the dodo when it comes to updates? ### 3/5 — Your update *2014-10-12, version 2.0* I like the old version better a compass might help but every one think change is better nope. ### 3/5 — Mgrs conversion *2013-04-21, version 1.5.1* I like this app, I just wish the mgrs conversion would be in wgs84 and not nad27 ### 5/5 — Great reference tool *2013-03-07, version 1.5.1* Working in the field or for personal Rec, handy little app to have. Perfect for lat/long and MGRS conversions. ### 5/5 — Works well! *2013-02-28, version 1.5.1* I've wanted an app like this for some time. Would be nice to be able to load CADRG files and use without an internet connection. ### 5/5 — User *2013-02-05, version 1.5.1* Great ap everyone should get this one. ### 5/5 — Great *2013-01-13, version 1.5.1* Use this every day in the military and hasn't failed me once ! ### 5/5 — Military Navigation Indeed *2012-12-18, version 1.5.1* Anyone within D.O.D will appreciate this app ### 4/5 — Good stuff *2012-12-15, version 1.5.1* Got me the info I needed and the map support is amazing ### 5/5 — Awesome App! *2012-11-11, version 1.5.1* This app is great! Just used it on a Land Nav course and I was within 5 meters of all the points. Highly recommend to other military ### 5/5 — Save your time and just download it!! *2012-11-01, version 1.5.1* This app rocks. There are plenty of GPS apps out there, I've bought heaps of them, but for MGRS functionality nothing tops it. Heaps of great functions and the map caching is great when out of internet coverage, still allowing you to get the job done. Great military app, but also cool for touristy nav stuff. ### 4/5 — Needs an offline map mode. *2012-10-30, version 1.5.1* Would be nice if it had a way to save a certain area for offline viewing sense if cellular towers were down and I was stuck out there for example. Just suggesting I would rate it five stars. ### 3/5 — Meh *2012-10-30, version 1.5.1* Used overseas but sluggish... ### 4/5 — Works good for military *2012-10-19, version 1.5.1* I'm out on a FOB conducting training and this app was useful to double-check my land nav skills. ### 5/5 — Tacnav *2012-10-10, version 1.5.1* Excellent app! Very usefull to orient oneself in the woods.. And all the extras that are included are really awesome! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — After update it doesnt work *2020-03-23* I can not open anything that i saved after recent update !!! ### 1/5 — Won't get passed the loading page *2011-01-24, version 1.2.1* I sure hope they fix this problem. It seems to me like it's a hit-an-miss with this app if it works or not. ### 1/5 — Won't open *2010-12-13, version 1.2* Can't open, running 3.1.3 ### 1/5 — Fix it or refund me *2010-12-03, version 0* Worked once then tried to reopen it an it goes to load page and closes. I have not been able to reopen or use it since. And I have reported it to them and have not recieved any response. Fix it or refund my money. ### 1/5 — Doesn't run *2010-11-21, version 0* On 3GS, app won't run. I get a screen that says it's "loading" for about 1 second. Then it goes back to the desktop. Nothing. ### 1/5 — Total waste *2010-07-07, version 0* Would have been better if it worked. Started program once, looked a the diffrent screens and settings, then the screen went black and it never worked again. ### 2/5 — Elevation *2023-08-22, version 2.6.2* I’ve been using this app for 10 years and now the elevation won’t update! Tried it in 2 different phones. ### 2/5 — Elevation *2023-03-25* After last update. I no longer get elevation data on either of my iPhones. ### 2/5 — Why did you change it??? *2014-10-25, version 2.0.2* As a member of our armed forces, the ability to quickly plot and determine direction and distance is important. Since the update, I am unable to manipulate the waypoints to enter a grid. This was the most useful feature in previous versions. Please provide this functionality again!! ### 3/5 — Solid but room for improvement *2021-03-22, version 2.6.0* I’ve used this application for at least 7 years, it has been great but I believe it’s reached a critical static point. For years I recommended this application to cohorts and friends alike but I’ve ceased doing so for the following reasons. In my opinion, it would be a 5 star app I would again recommend to others if it had these items. -Ability to download maps offline and store locally. -Custom layover with geometric shapes and labeling. -CarPlay Support. These are two huge markets where this application lacks and I have to recommend ATAK or it’s civilian variant to others. I use ATAK currently however prior to that I used APASS and this application very frequently. But they fallen behind the power curve of relevancy. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good app! *2020-03-15, version 2.5.2* Well worth the money!!! ### 5/5 — Great app! Please add support for custom overlays! *2018-06-24, version 2.5.1* I’ve been using this app weekly since it first came out and it’s still best in class after all this time! I definitely recommend this app for anyone needing to plot points with MGRS coordinates and elevation data. The only thing I find lacking is the ability to draw custom line/polygon overlays on top of the map to delineate airspace or other area boundaries (something similar to the routes feature, but with the waypoint markers hidden and locked so they can’t be accidentally moved). Please keep up the great work! ### 5/5 — The only MGRS app *2018-05-26, version 2.5* The only app to use if you need to convert to MGRS. ### 5/5 — Great app. Couldn't ask for more *2015-08-22, version 2.2.2* I am a professional skydiver, and former military man. Using this app makes my job so much easier. I can place pins where I am taking off from and where I am landing at. Comparing elevation offsets and doing real time distance and direction can at times literally be a life saver. The different unit values and display functions would really come in handy for anyone trying to compare lat/longs to the MGRS system. This is the first review I've written for an app. Good job guys. ### 5/5 — New Version ruins a great app *2014-12-14, version 2.1* I've used this app since its introduction. It has been extremely useful in the field. "Unclassified bar" seems like a waste of screen real estate, but it's forgivable for an otherwise excellent tool. Keep up the improvements. It would be useful to have waypoint route calculations based on a programmable/custom rate of progress -- handy for planning purposes. You could also add in rough calculations for foot, vehicular-ground, helo, air, and sea/amphib that take into account any available environmental data. ### 5/5 — OMG!!! *2014-10-13, version 2.0* I have been looking for two years for an application like this! The conversion from MilGrid to Lat/Long is awesome for frequency managers!!! Great for UHF TACSAT as well with the new Satellite Az/El calculations. Compared MilGrids to those on paper for our training areas and it is pretty dead on. It's hard to get a true 10-digit grid. And did I mention it was a great help for a night land nav course! Great app! ### 5/5 — Top notch grade A app *2013-05-05, version 1.5.1* This app does everything it says it will. I use this app all the time for all my navigation needs. A big thank you to the developer! ### 5/5 — Great!!! *2013-04-25, version 1.5.1* I have been looking for an app like this for a long time. I am glad I finally found it. ### 5/5 — Love it so far *2013-04-21, version 1.5.1* As of right now I love it. Useful and spot on. Thank you and I hope the updates ( if any ) are top notch. ### 5/5 — Tacticool ;) *2013-03-23* Very slick app, not a street address GPS - great for use in the bush The flashlight is a handy option too! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
