Private Tracker

My work involves driving all day responding to service calls. I turn the tracker on when I leave in the morning and turn off when I get home, and it runs flawlessly behind the scenes without draining my battery. The map log helps me recall locations I’ve visited, the route I used to get from A to B, the amount of miles traveled (for tax purposes and vehicle maintenance), and also driving vs idle time. It is a huge help with my record keeping! Also, my friends and I do a lot of boating on local rivers and Jeep trail riding, and the tracker allows us to see exactly where we are or where we’ve been. And the speedometer and Max Speed indicators are fun to monitor when boating! I’ve had this app for years, and every time I get a new phone it is the first app I reinstall. It’s a basic app, not a lot of bells and whistles, but it WORKS. And it works well. Oh, and also it has saved my butt a couple of times when I was accused of being somewhere I wasn’t supposed to be... I had a ten hour track to show I (or at least my phone) had not been at the location in question! So yeah, I’m a big fan of this app! If you don’t love it you’re a loser.

I use this to record my GPS location and export it to Google Earth to see where I’ve been. It’s always interesting to do this and I love this app. I believe this app could be improved in various ways, and although it’s already good enough to have the existing features, I’d love this to have more as a location tracker: 1. Consider adding an option to choose update rate. This is a “minimal” logger, meaning that people use it probably because it saves battery. In many circumstances this can be very useful, as lower update rate will vastly reduce battery usage. I need this option because I’m always in a position that needs the logger to update not as frequently as it can, so I can preserve my battery and log for a longer period of time. It’s only a few lines of codes to add so it’s really not a big deal. 2. An option to omit points that are not accurate. Sometimes when I was traveling under a tunnel, the position could be shifting a lot and that resulted in tracks twisting in a strange way with angles pointing here and there. This function can make the track it logs much more reliable. 3. Maybe offer one time free export for users who use this app the first time. I had been hesitating a lot before I finally purchased because I didn’t know if it worth the functions and whether it would export it successfully as expected. I guess many people have the same thoughts. I know devs have to make a living as well so I’m not saying this should be a must have feature. But it’ll certainly be better if you have this. :) I hope this app can be constantly maintained since it’s so much better than other GPS logging apps. It doesn’t take much size and works better than anyone could expect with adequate functions at such price.

Before using this app keep in mind you will have to pay to get your data out. The app interface does not inform you of this until you attempt to export.

There was a time this was a great app. It would allow me to export the gpx to an app (transmit) and I could move it to my PC. Now it says it doesn't detect any apps which support gpx and that I should mail the file. However it only supports the stock mail app which I don't even have installed in iOS 10. In short, totally unusable. I paid for the track export sigh. Save your money.

Tracks location in the background and exports the data points to a gpx file so I can get tag my photos after my walks/hikes.

Like others have said, no bloat, just Start, Stop, View map, Export. Noticed a bug in map view where it doesn’t always redraw the underlying map. Workaround is to zoom way out and back in.

It is everything I ever wanted from a GPS tracker and nothing more.

This app does one thing and does it well. I've been using it for 3 days and it seems to work exactly as advertised.

This app does exactly what I want, no more, no less. I just want to take a bike ride and see how long I've riden, how far, how fast I'm going, and where I went. I don't see any reason it wouldn't work for walking either. I also want to be able to go back and see where I went on past rides. This app does all of these things perfectly.

The Metric system is used by most consumers world wide. I found no settings in this app to view Meters and Kilometers. Why? Heck, NASA lost a space probe because an engineer did it in inches (NASA is all metric since the 1960s) -- the US miltary even uses the metric system. All of science, including the US is set to metric. This app should at least allow to switch to metric. Otherwise this app, despite trying to look so modern is, well, old fashioned.
