Fix for “Android status bar overlays GPS Test navigation bar:” 1. Start GPS Test. 2. Then start any other app of your choice. 3. Go to “split-screen mode.” (Google it.) 4. When split screen shows GPS Test as second app, its navigation bar should be in the clear. Tap the app 3-button menu icon. 5. In drop-down menu, tap Settings | General Settings; tap “Hide The Status Bar” to toggle it ON. 6. Exit GPS Test. All this only needs to be done ONCE. This setting will persist.

On android 14 wrong screen size. Overlapping top with system icons and bottom with navigation buttons.
★☆☆☆☆P Brown· May 7, 2025
I love the app, but I assumed upgrading from the free version would be the same as buying the plus version with navigation... I assumed wrong.
★☆☆☆☆Alexander Chobot· Mar 16, 2026
Dead for years, broken interface on new versions of android and still asks for money. Avoid
★★☆☆☆Drew MacDonald· Aug 19, 2025
I love this app, but it's currently useless in Android 16. I can't press any buttons at the top or bottom because the app is behind the system bars.
★☆☆☆☆GrY· Apr 24, 2025
Totally unusable on a pixel 9a. Buttons at top don't work because they are behind the info like time battery %. Buttons at bottom are halfway off the screen.
