I can get locator to pair in my iphone Bluetooth settings on but impossible to connect to device in app

### 2/5 — Point Log

*2022-10-31, version 1.31*

When trying to log points during designation of utilities, point data would not capture. My map stays blank. I press i then + but it doesn’t log anything to the receiver or the app.

### 4/5 — Super easy

*2021-09-24, version 1.22*

This app is so easy to use that a child could use it. However, it is difficult to setup the first time, but after that, it wants to sync with your phone.

### 4/5 — Import Photo Support

*2020-01-18, version 1.19.3*

Please update to enable importing of photos from the IOS camera roll/albums etc. Would also like to be able to switch from default camera app and use photo stamp app such as Theodolite and Solocator to take stamped photos, attach and export as .kml all together.

### 1/5 — Will not connect

*2019-06-28, version 1.19.3*

Unit says it is connected to phone but app will not recognize the unit or provide GPS location. When unit was delivered a demo was done and it did not work then and dealer said they would look into it. That was over a year ago and have heard nothing

### 4/5 — The new version 1.09 lost the ability to send the locate to email please fix.

*2016-08-24, version 1.09*

Love the app. But when I try and demonstrate to a customer the new version lost the ability to email the locate from the app. Please fix.
