  • Solid but room for improvement

    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.
  • Good app!

    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!
  • The only MGRS app

    The only app to use if you need to convert to MGRS.
  • No update since Oct. 2015.

    Very good app but I just recently downloaded it and it works as advertised. 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?
  • Great app. Couldn't ask for more

    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.
  • New Version ruins a great app

    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.
  • Why did you change it???

    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!!

    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!
