Comments on Handy GPS for Android

★★★★★ A Google user · Oct 3, 2021

Just updating my original review of the Handy GPS app from 2012. I've been using the paid version of this app for 9 years now, and it's still perfect. Developer has added some very nice features to it over the years and has done a great job maintaining it! No need to look at any other apps for backcountry activities. Altimeter and location coordinates are always accurate, and it doesn't need cell signal to function. Paid version is easily worth it.

★★★★★ John Brace · Aug 14, 2019

Great app for hiking and biking, with more detail available as needed.

★★☆☆☆ Edgars Z · Oct 21, 2021

2 requests: need permanent Waypoints. They disappear with each new session, and it would be good if things like "HOME" always carried over. Also, more features on the nav screen would help. Like TTM and VMG. Updating review, 2 star less. Updates are causing problems. When I go to a different screen, there is no longer a button to get back to main screen. I have to quit and restart. The app now also stops tracking as soon as the phone screen goes to sleep. I need to hike with the screen on

★☆☆☆☆ Charles Jameson · Aug 18, 2021

I have been a paid user of this app for years but just recently the developer decided for reasons unknown to make the data super secure. If someone distributes a track (kml file) it used to be simple to import it. Not anymore. Now you need a pc or laptop and cannot do it in the field. I run/hike with a group, and we share tracks often. I recommended this app to many over the years, but now it has been rendered useless for my purpose. You could have at least given us the option to opt out.

Doesn't work, just asks for permissions but has all the permissions allowed already
