An optional internal GPS receiver provides an accurate time reference and site geo-location coordinates. This app allows access to diagnostic information on the uDL1 and allows setting up the configuration to meet the customer's needs. Note that measurement data logs, due to their size, can only be extracted from the uDL1 using the PC configuration application through the USB port.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: uDL1 Config at none against File Explorer & Player's 4. uDL1 Config also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.0). File Explorer & Player's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 25 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
