Comments on GPS Tools® -Navigate & Explore for Android

★★★★★ James Fredericks · Aug 10, 2026

I just downloaded this app, and I am going through the "free trial" plan. I am at my home base now, and everything functions as it should. I will get more detailed information on the accuracy of the tools, when used in the field. I think it will do just fine. I'll have an update before my trial ends. For now... 👍

★★★★★ Dave Fulton · Jul 2, 2026

Very nice multipurpose outdoor activity app...everything from accurate GPS location to multi-day weather, to survival techniques. I use it frequently on day hikes...hasn't let me down yet...

★★★★★ Lyle Gavin · Aug 8, 2026

Just a well-thought-out app with everything needed for GPS!! It's on my home page 👍👍♥️

★★★★★ Robinson THOMPSON · Jul 31, 2026

Using the level meter has been accurate

★★★★★ Andrew Griffiths · Jul 21, 2026

Great app not to sure if it's Accurate but loads of info no adds etc

★☆☆☆☆ Ron Dow · Aug 16, 2026

Used to enjoy this app, but now I can't move from one screen to the next without an ad taking control (CHEWY). Never happened in the past. UPDATE: August 2026. Just updated app, and it appears I shouldn't have because now it appears that I only have three (3) days of the free version to use b4 they charge me. It's a good tool, but I do not use it often enough to pay for it.

★★☆☆☆ My Account · Aug 28, 2026

I've used this app many times over the years to check speed when on the water. I usually have data and it works. However, I discovered today the app will not even open without data.

★☆☆☆☆ Benjamin Brooks · Aug 8, 2026

Honestly, it looks like a great app, and I would have been willing to pay a relatively high one off price for it, but as it is a subscription app (and didn't say so until after I installed it) I'm afraid I uninstalled immediately.

★☆☆☆☆ Graham Jones · Sep 12, 2026

Does not provide requested info and spams with BS virus infection message locking app up.
