As others say.....

Apple is a pain in the backside when it comes to gps on bth ipad and iphone, this app assists by helping “cross off” the list of potential reasons i.e. gps signal etc, the. You can go find the actual reason the phone has

Useful app

I am using this app to ensure I know the accuracy of my Garmin GLO, which is connected to a Wi-Fi only iPad. The diagnostics are very useful and shows me that the combination of the Garmin product and Navionics marine maps are fit for purpose in the oceans. I would like to see all the satellites being used, not just the first four. That said, clever and useful app. Being able to convert from true north to magnetic north on the fly is very important when using a traditional ship compass and a GPS. Really this is very useful app. This review is from south-east Australia.

Not enough info for a diagnostics app

Only shows animated bar graphs for 1, 2, 3 and 4+ satellites. I need much more info to diagnose my GPS reception in urban jungles. Doesn’t support iPad. Only has screen layouts for iPhone. ie shows a ridiculously large screen layout in portrait only on iPad. Yuk!

Really doesn’t do much

Really doesn’t do much except show you are actually using gps. Not really worth it even for the small cost. Needs at least to show actual sats etc

GPS Diagnostic - The Dr is in the House!

This is a well thought out ingenious app which is simple to use and useful for taking an in-depth look at how your GPS is ‘tracking’ within your phone . I’d give it 10 stars if I could!

Good tool for drone pilots.

Does what is says on the box

East to us and gives me the info I need

GPS signal tester

For the money $5 approx it's a good solid app well programmed and very easy to understand there are free ones out there but they lacked the feel of good performer IMHO

Expensive for what it does

Simple app, could do with more features and more detail about the gps fix obtained
