1. [R1] 5/5 · US Excellent GPS App: I use it when biking and walking to track progress. Also used it in the woods behind my house to see where things came out on the other side.
2. [R2] 5/5 · US Extremely phenomenal: Smooth tracking, refreshing!
3. [R4] 3/5 · US Use it almost every day: Track walks in forest. Never lost. Easy
4. [R8] 5/5 · US Navigation: Excellent application to navigate and conduct field work!
5. [R3] 5/5 · US Compass on steroids: Nice tracking app…if you have acreage to oversee, it’s worth it
6. [R11] 5/5 · US Great App: I was looking for an app to trace my route as I travel. This app draws a perfect line showing my route. Lots of great features too. I’m using the pro feature so I can use the offline maps. Note that Google and Apple Maps are not available offline, but there is a house version that is, and it works fine.
7. [R15] 5/5 · US My favorite outdoors app: Extremely high quality app with every feature I wanted and didn’t know I needed. I use GPS Tracks for moto on the dirtbike a few times each week and log the duration, distance, and mark the new single tracks we find or make. And I use it every day for all my dog walks on the endless trails up here in the Eastern Sierras. 5/5 stars 100%
8. [R24] 5/5 · US The best got better: 2nd revue: I have Gaia, Avenza & Topo map (Spyglass for bearings) of course google maps/Earth & I’ve used them all but this one is the fastest & with aircraft, cars, motorcycle, mt bike, hiking and wandering in the woods- It’s the best GPS iPhone tracker available. It’s not simple & requires a learning curve but doesn’t eat battery life, too bad.
9. [R22] 5/5 · US 3 years: Using for the last 3 years for spear fishing. Marking reefs and areas. Works great w/couple small annoyances. Some features seem complicated and laggy but service response is quick and efficient. I may also be part of the problem and could learn more..
10. [R27] 5/5 · US Support is superb: App works great. Using for dog walks and hiking. Very happy with it.
11. [R29] 5/5 · US Very happy. User friendly.: Great service. He helps me out quickly!
12. [R34] 5/5 · US Best Route/Tracking App: Best app if you’re trying to map a route in detail. Can drop pins and label them and write notes for each one.. Awesome customer service, fast response time.
13. [R19] 4/5 · US Good navigation app: I'm in the coast guard auxiliary and the use of this app helps me to safely navigate in back bay areas.
14. [R36] 5/5 · US Field Tested and Approved: I am active-duty military and use this app every time I go to the field. On at least two occasions this app has significantly proven its value. If you're looking for an app that has MGRS capabilities on the phone and on the Apple Watch then this app is for you. I even provided some suggestions to the developer and he implemented them in this latest release. Excellent cu
15. [R9] 3/5 · US Poor instructions: I have paid for this and been unable to use it. Finally figured out that the app needed to be updated. I would have expected notification
16. [R50] 3/5 · US I want it to be better: It’s just not intuitive. Even simple things are difficult. I have to go to ChatGPT many times to ask things I need. If I ever figure it out, I would love to give it five stars. Very frustrated.
17. [R73] 1/5 · US Difficult to learn: Not an easy learning curve. The directions need improvement. Author needs to assume we don’t understand much about this technology.
18. [R142] 1/5 · US Make easier to use: Not user friendly I want to type a 30.xxxx 96.xxxx and this app show me the way there
19. [R18] 2/5 · US Not working so well with recent macOS and watchOS updates the watch forgets it is tracking the last: Track did not match real life last time out
20. [R76] 1/5 · US horrible app: This app never works properly, it’s a mess.
21. [R93] 3/5 · US Average due to weak programming: I deleted this app when it got stuck on a screen and became a brick. The programming is headed in the right direction but is not well implemented. Still, good feature set just not worth paying for until the freezing is resolved.
22. [R106] 1/5 · US Use a different app: More bugs and problems than anything productive from this app. Can’t get the simplest of functions to work properly.
23. [R37] 1/5 · US MoneyTracks: They want money for everything. Greedy developer. There are better apps around where you can have similar features way cheaper, like maps.com
24. [R49] 1/5 · US Not free: Tell price up front. I would have paíd if the price was posted before downloading. Now I do not plan to use this app.
25. [R248] 1/5 · US Export has been removed?: It appears that export has been removed unless you have a pro subscription. And this was done in a release that claimed to be for bug fixes only. Seriously upset! I did pay for this app and I don’t expect major functionality to be removed, especially without warning.
26. [R251] 3/5 · GB Good app but pricey: Quite expensive for what it is. Haven’t yet discovered much extra value over free similar apps
27. [R268] 2/5 · GB Great idea but failed to track correctly: Used this for the first time at the weekend. I used it to track my path and log any finds but use of a waypoint marker whilst I was metal detecting. It seemed to start off ok but later in the day it stopped recording my path so I ended up with only half of my tracking showing and worse still, any waypoint I entered for the finds were off by a huge distan
28. [R272] 2/5 · GB accuracy: not very accurate
29. [R282] 1/5 · GB Poor: The tracking was all over the place, the gps coordinates inaccurate and the app kept pausing during our walk. I’d paid extra for the maps (more fool me), and they downloaded, but didn’t let me use them. I already have the brilliant Ordnance Survey (OS) tracking app for the UK, but I wanted something that worked in Italy. Don’t bother with this app.
30. [R6] 1/5 · US No Login: Downloaded this for work to text the app on Mac and there was literally no was for me to login to my already existing account.
31. [R179] 1/5 · US Piece of junk: I’ve been on for months. I can not log in, make a new password, or use. Trying to get help is impossible. The program fails to help or send email for reset into its difficult to use and make simple task impossible. A poke of frustration. Ps: I’ve used gps software for years but this is so difficult I’ve given up. I want to cancel but can’t figure that out either.
32. [R235] 2/5 · US Issue with pro status with recent updates: Bought pro in the past and was able to import tracks until a few months ago UPDATED#2: There is no issue with the device. Reinstalled the app a couple of times already. Restoring purchases works on all other apps, purchase was saved or remembered after other app was killed and reopened. GPS Tracks doesn’t do that. Might be a bug with iOS updates? UPDATE
33. [R279] 1/5 · GB Synchronisation is still really poor and unreliable: Thus would be a great app if the synchronisation worked OK, but its completely unreliable. Sometimes stuff randomly disappears, other times it will appear on iPad but not on computer or vice versa. Been through all sorts of steps with the developer and just can’t get it to work because of some Apple limits to do with how the app works or somethi
34. [R46] 1/5 · US Terrible App: Will not let you use any of the functions!!! If you are trying to load KMZ/KML files I would recommend going to another application.
35. [R88] 3/5 · US No waypoint pictures: I can’t use it to send a picture of a waypoint.
36. [R143] 1/5 · US Not good: Not intuitive. Buggy. Can't export. Limited documentation. Do NOT recommend.
37. [R207] 1/5 · US Stop…?: Doesn’t give a way to stop a track. I paused at a dog park and when I started again there was no place that I could find to resume my track.
38. [R7] 2/5 · US NOAA charts: They do not work well zooming in and out
39. [R31] 5/5 · US Terrific navigation app!: I had MotionX-GPS but they stopped supporting the iOS in 2021 so it won’t even launch on my iPad with iOS 15. I downloaded GPS Tracks and after a few uses, I upgraded to GPS Tracks Premium. Feature rich, ability to save offline maps, tracking, waypoints, just a great NAV app!! I highly recommend it!
40. [R44] 5/5 · US Closest thing to MotionX GPS: MotionX GPS was the best iPhone based GPS application. With MotionX everything was intuitive and easy to use in the application. GPS Tracks is the closest app I have found to match MotionX but I still find simple things like dropping a waypoint, retaining waypoints much harder to accomplish. I give GPS tracks five stars as it is the closest app I can find to a handhel
41. [R285] 1/5 · GB Misleading description: I downloaded this app only because in description says off-line maps available but that’s not true. You need to pay additional annual fee for that.
42. [R375] 3/5 · CA Great online GPS app!: Got the free trial pro version but couldnt load any offline maps. Even I tried to download in app GPS tracks sattelite maps(180MB) and after it finished nothing loaded and looks like a blank map! If u fix this it would be the best offroad navigation app…
43. [R10] 5/5 · US Patriot17 FAVE FOR ONBOARD GPS: I paid. I love this program. Really accurate and valuable for sharing OPERATIVE MAPPING.
