No Longer Works

Do not buy! This was a great GPS app but has not been updated. I can no longer download my data. The app crashes as soon as you try uploading or downloading data, making it useless.

No longer the best!

This app used to be my go to for creating KMZ files. I am no longer able to send the info since the last IPhone update. I looked for help from the creator with zero response. I just love companies that stand behind their product! Don’t buy, it’s a waste of your time.

Is this Developer still in Business?

The links in the app to Help Videos and the User Manual are broken. The website link goes to a page that says the host is not configured. The last update was 5 years old. I should have recognized a potential problem before I bought it.

No updates for years

This app has not been updated for more than 4 years and sincerely this is not serious for users, if the developer has stopped working on this app, let the users aware

Abandoned (2021)

This used to be hands down the best GPS app available, and it’s layout and functionality still makes most other apps look like a joke. The problem is, the developer seems to have abandoned it. Functionality is slowly breaking as new iOS updates come out (currently can’t share anything), and the developer is MIA (tried sending emails). The last update was 4 years ago :-( Jonathan, if you’re reading this, please don’t let GPS Kit die. Nothing else comes close.

I’m satisfied

It could be better definitely, but work for me any it was always helpful 💪👍

Make GPS kit great again!

I’ve had this app for many years. It’s still my favourite gps app for hunting, fishing, and working in the bush. But…. It hasn’t been updated in years and loses more and more functionality. Squawk was awesome and what made me purchase it originally. Now it’s not possible to import files from email. I’m still loyal to it so far but be great to get some fixes

Good

Good but need a fix for som bug

Great app!

I’ve had this app for years ... I been in the mountains the back woods hundreds of miles from cell service ... it has always worked and tracked my steps accurately. Never had a problem with this app ! There is a lot to learn though and a lot you can do with this app ! Best money I ever spent ! Well worth the money!

Stopped being able to download maps

Can no longer download apps. I purchased the app years ago and it used to work fine. My original maps and data are still there but I’ve since moved and needed to download new maps however it looks like the creators API access to the maps don’t work anymore.
