Awaiting updates?

No update and now track editor doesn’t work! It doesn’t give me any faith in purchasing apps in the future! When will this be updated? Also I wouldn’t dare spend on your massively high premium apps because who knows if they will be worth the money! I don’t trust this developer.

Worth Every Penny, Cent and Centime

Updated review: After a couple of bumps during the move to 64 bit, this app is finally back to full strength. Yes it will cost you more than the other apps, but it’s worth it for the power and features that it gives you I’ve used it every week for three years and would recommend it to everyone.

Waypoints

2500 waypoints is not enough, i use Global Scout with several hundred thousand waypoints.

Just paid £10

I have just paid £10 for this app based on the reviews. The first time I open it I get a message saying that the app won't work with future updates on my iphone and the developer needs to update the app. The last time it was updated was 2014, so update it or remove it from the appstore.

Not working

Please fix. Does not even loading the maps

Not as good as it should be.

This is the second time I have written this review, why has the first review not appeared?. Garafa state on their website that they are keen to assist users and keen to improve the app. I have written to them twice asking for support because there are issues with the app. The have not responded to either request for help and as this is a paid for app one expects them to be true to their word. They are not so I cannot recommend this app or the software house that produced it. Another point, why is it only the good reviews of this product that have been ticked as helpful. How would anyone know if it is helpful or not until they buy the product? After buying it they will find that the critical reviews are actually the most accurate. Don't waste your money.

Very disappointed

I was looking forward to using what looked like a proper GPS, but once I purchased the app I found that it was very limited in what you could use it for without the extra add ons, which cost extra ontop of the £6.99 price! For example you cannot follow a imported route or the app is so difficult to use I have yet to find that function.

Turns your iPhone into a credible off road nab tool

Used this to navigate off road across the Pyrenees without a hitch. Awesome.

GPS fantastic

This App plus iPad is a must for simple field application. For example, plotting sand dune vegetation positions over time on a marine beach. Pity the authorities don't make more use of such, and by involving the public. But hey, early days - eh? Also works well when out and about fixing points of interest, all that is required are reasonable wifi points in the area of interest.

Weather

Y can't us in the UK have the weather station facility
