Ratings and Reviews

Rating: 3.7/5 based on Less than 100 reviews

2 ★ Worked briefly then crashed. Could be a good app but needs to be improved.

4 ★ If this app incorporated Google map's search, this could then get coordinates of the target destination which could then be pasted into another geo - navigation app.

4 ★ First one i found with GB grid references to the meter instead of the usual 100m

5 ★ would give 10 **if you can enable 6 fig reference...

5 ★ Makes life easier. When in the outdoors

5 ★ Gives the OS reference coordinates for where your phone is. Matches all OS maps. Also gives Longditude and Latitude.

5 ★ Very useful for all naturalists

5 ★ Thanks

5 ★ Useful with a good UI

5 ★ Pin pointed by 3 meters where i was......great app.

4 ★ Best

5 ★ Simple useful

2 ★ The app had everything I needed and seemed to be working fine at first but has now begun to crash regularly unfortunately. I am using a Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2.

1 ★ Would be fine if it didn't keep crashing

3 ★ (Sony Xperia), this app seemed to have everything I needed and generally worked well and was accurate. However, when searching for a specific OS grid ref, it gave very bogus locations. Even when I entered the grid ref it said I was at, it showed a location 1000's of km away. Shame, it was nearly perfect,
