Comments on Grid Square Locator for Android

★★★★★ HerbnKathyRV · Jun 21, 2021

Great easy app to use for ham radio as we travel, and I need to know my current grid square for Parks On The Air logging. Thanks, Boris

★★★★☆ Ed Grogan · Jun 10, 2020

Simple and works. I would give 5 stars if it could include the magnetic declination of the grid. I will be using this for remote and satellite operations and declination would help

★★★★★ Richard French · Jul 3, 2022

Perfect. Does exactly what I need - to read GPS location from my phone and return the Maidenhead locator down to 8 character precision. App shows non-intrusive ad. Simplicity wins.

★☆☆☆☆ Mr. Lucky · Oct 27, 2022

Oct 12th update completely destroyed this app on Android 13. Doesn't even show me in correct country!

★★☆☆☆ Jeremy Plante · Jan 29, 2021

You can't search grid squares only your current square

★★☆☆☆ Grace Thomson · Jun 8, 2023

Puts me in my grid but way east of where I am. It claims I am at CN87uo00, but I am west of there on the other side of the grid. I want this app in order to calculate the 7th and 8th characters of my grid, but it failed to do that. Sorry. Regards. 73 -Grace WA7GBT NNNN z
