Sept update ruined a great app

I've been using Wellsite Navigator since around 2013 - it's been the best oilfield nav app out there. But this September update is terrible.

It does not show all the wells on pads and locations anymore. I know a pad has 6 wells and it only shows 1 or 2. The clustering hides them.

App freezes constantly when searching or navigating.

Worst is the satellite. It used to be darker and clearer. Now the new satellite view is bright washed out white. You can't tell what is a road and what is not. Can't make out new roads into locations to figure out how to get there.

Please fix well display, freezing, and bring back darker satellite contrast. Right now it doesn't do what it once did.

2 stars for now - will update if fixed. Permian Basin, Texas user.

Update for you — the release is out, and it addresses what you described. The satellite imagery is back on our previous mapping provider, so the darker, clearer view is restored and you can make out roads into locations again. Map rotation and zoom are back as well. You can also now turn off Show Nearby Wells to clear all locations off the map, regardless of what filters you have applied. The freezing was handled in an earlier release. Update in the App Store to pick all of it up. Your review shaped what we prioritized, so thank you for taking the time to write it out. If the well counts on a pad still aren't right once you've updated, email help@wellsitenavigator.com — we would like to get that resolved for you.

Updates an messes up

Please hear my prayer. You guys send out updates an it changes things that don't need changed that will be running smooth then you guys send an update and bam all of a sudden there's all kinds of bugs tons of bugs leaving me going into the settings and trying to figure out what is going on you have no contact number to just call you have to send an email a response I pay a ton of money for this app and there's really no way to get customer service on the phone that needs to change for the price i am paying

Scammers

Have had bad service from them for the last year or so. I told them I wasn’t going to renew and they still tried to run my credit card. They produced a contract with my name on it but it was forged and not my signature!!
Use caution with them.

It’s atrocious. Needs work.

I can’t reset my password and there’s no customer support apparently, whenever I go to reset my password I just get a dead link or if I do get it to work, I can click reset, but it doesn’t actually do anything additionally while using it the interface is terrible. You click on a well site & nothing happens, the app is broken.

Needs a lot of improvement for it to be OK right now It sucks in my opinion.

The best oilfield app!

I love this app. I’ve had it for over ten years and they keep making it better. When my guys have a problem we just tell them and they fix it right away. It’s the only one that does teams and custom routes.

Can’t use app without subscription

Not the best search experience, switched over to one of the other apps that was able to locate the well sites.

I’ve been using this app for three years. It’s great for finding Wells and seeing the lease roads on satellite view. But the last few updates it’s getting less user-friendly trying to use the external maps like google an apple which are both car, friendly and great for hands-free. Today’s update is not even gave me an option to use Google or Apple anymore.

Must Have App

One of the few apps I keep with me on the job! Find a well, share it, and now I can navigate on lease roads to actually get there! The fact I can do this offline is incredible.

Almost perfect

The app and navigation are almost perfect. The one thing It’s missing is CarPlay functionality. As it is now, you can use it with CarPlay only if you set it to use google maps for navigation. That works well for about 80% of locations in my area(eastern Utah). Google navigation is way off on the other 20%. Please please please get your navigation working with CarPlay so it can use my vehicles large screen.

Update: still no CarPlay. As of June 2025. This is disappointing!

Hello, Thank you so much for your review! We are glad you like our app and to know that our maps are 20% better that Google :) Making our app work with CarPlay is on our road map for the first half of next year. Stay safe out there!

Amazing GPS well finder for the oilfield

This app is by far the best app in the world for finding Oilfield well sites and locations in the field. I find the GPS coordinates by API and well name without any issues whatsoever. In addition, it allows me to get exact routes all the way to the wellhead without getting lost ensuring that my team and I are always safe and never lost. If you aren’t using this for your Oilfield navigation, you are missing out.

Wow, thank you! This review perfectly captures what we've been working toward - reliable navigation that keeps field teams safe and on track. Hearing that our API search and wellhead routing are working flawlessly for you and your team makes our day. Safety in the field is everything, and we're honored to be part of keeping you and your crew where you need to be. Thanks for spreading the word. Stay safe out there!

Great App

I love this app, it has saved me a ton of time and frustration.

Map Toggle

With this new update, you cannot change between “their” map and Google Maps. No matter what you have selected. Tried deleting the app and downloading it again, and it won’t even download now.

Do better.
