★★★★★Mulaad· Apr 19, 2026
This is the greatest GPS tool that 'I've found for my phone ever. And I am very greatful for your tool. Thank you for this GPS tool. I suggest everyone for this tool. This app brightens me more even ever with greatful features. 😄
★★★★☆Robert Rucker· Mar 12, 2026
Generally speaking, it's a great app. The only issue I have run across is that it cannot keep or maintain an actual, current temperature. Every time I look at the widget it's showing a temp FAR, FAR lower than is the actual temperature. Like 40° to 50° lower. I didn't find a setting to set an update interval.
★★★★★DARREN KNOWLAND· May 26, 2026
This application seems very good and easy to use recommend to download has alot of information which is useful
★★★★★Joshua Salihu· May 18, 2026

This app is versatile particularly in mid-city areas that are unknown or unfamiliar at night. The compass provides directional orientation, street addresses are accurate and city details include useful information as well as in rural locations. Unit conversions include metric system and SAE systems equivalents for convenience.

Updated the app, and now it can't be used unless you allow it to send you notifications. Used to be an ok app, but I'm not installing something that's going to force me to immediately go dig through setting to disallow notifications ... really, really stupid that you can't even use the app once without letting it bug you with notifications uninstalling now

I attempted to sign up for GPS Tools Pro and noticed a discrepancy in your subscription flow. The in-app screen advertises a 7-day free trial, but the Google Play billing screen shows a 3-day trial. This creates a mismatch in user expectations and billing terms, which can lead to unintended charges. For a paid subscription, especially one tied to auto-renewal, this should be consistent and clearly communicated. I chose not to proceed due to this inconsistency.
★☆☆☆☆Maxim Kukushkin· Apr 19, 2026
Asks tons of questions before opening and then requires subscription for the simplest task that any free app would do. Uninstalled immediately
★☆☆☆☆Jeff Moody· May 25, 2026
Used to be a great free app, and I never updated for this very reason. Sure enough, new phone, current version requires subscription, resort to alternative free apps. Too bad. Hate to see you go. Bye-bye 😔
★☆☆☆☆Jerry Askew· Mar 24, 2026
Too many nags and premium sign up requests. Also altitude does not work. Seems to be based off of coordinates not actual altitude
