Description
THE IN-APP DISCLOSURE AND CONSENT REQUIREMENT
Permission is required for 'Background location data usage' and access to files and photographs
This app (Tect O Trak) is designed to track and record the user's movements within the boundaries of a user-defined search area. The track recording feature will require consent to run location services in the background for long periods. The location data will be used to create breadcrumb type tracks on a map and also for coordinates when recording a find.
Tect O Trak also needs permission/consent to access photos, media and files. This is for photograph/image management which is essential for building a photographic journal type database
Tect O Trak does not access, seek to access, or require sensitive user information or any type of information
All data is stored only locally to this device, No data is gathered, monitored, uploaded, collected, shared, or viewable to anyone but the user. All data is strictly private and confidential.
ATTENTION HUAWEI USERS
Huawei smartphones aggressively close apps when you lock the screen. Please adjust your device settings to allow Tect O Trak to run in the background.

Sadly, after six years, it has become necessary to withdraw the free version and replace it with a fully functional 28-day time trial version. This is to help ensure the continued development, maintenance and longevity of this very specialised application. I hope you have found Tect O Trak useful and worthy of your support. If you are not in a position to support the app at the moment, it is recommended you do not allow any further updates and remain on Version V6.
Tect O Trak is an Android Gps track and finds recording application. Specifically designed for metal detectorists, by a detectorist. This is the app we were all waiting for. I got fed up with waiting, so I had a go at developing it myself! I hope you like it. Your feedback and support will be greatly appreciated.
This application allows the user to track and record their movements within a predefined area. Searches can be saved and resumed. Additionally, you can also mark/ revisit find spots, and make detailed photo and text records of your finds. You can also view and interact with your files on Google Earth using the Kml export tool.

Tect O Trak has very nearly 5000 users and proven itself over the years and will work perfectly. If it doesn't, please don't hesitate to message me here:-MarkSeeleyUK@gmail.com
Ideally, you should turn on both GPS and Tect O Trak at least five minutes before you actually start detecting/recording. Let it track you moving around for a while. It's important that you are moving. This will give the GPS time to get a good fix on you. You will benefit from a more accurate starting point.
A personal message from the author. I am not a professional developer. My interest is purely in metal detecting. Although I am the designer, I have to hire in people to do the actual hard coding. If you like Tect O Trak, please show your support by purchasing the app, also leaving a review in the playstore. This will go some way towards helping me develop the app further. I have lots more innovative ideas to implement, all dedicated to the specialised needs of the detectorist. With a little support from the community, it will be interesting to see how far I can take it!
Any questions, suggestions, ideas, or problems, please address to- MarkSeeleyUK@gmail.com
Be lucky,
Mark.

This is an amazing app, a true "must have"! I have been hunting farm fields, and it is easy to get lost as to your position or remember where you were when you last left the site. This app has saved me time and missed targets by keeping me on track. The ability to log finds is an awesome feature as well! You can click on a find days or weeks later, and it will bring up the map and show you exactly where you found it. Mark really nailed this as only another detectors could, well-thought-out and very useful to all of us! I bought the full version, and it is even better!!!

Helo MR.mark. Wish you have a great day! I have a question. Does your real app work accurately in iran for android? And how much is the price of the app?
★★★★★
Great app for metal detecting Does what you need it to do. I've emailed the developer twice with questions, and they have responded immediately.

So far off tracking exactly where you are, it's useless. The reading I got was for about 500 meters away. My phone works fine for other apps. Reply: 1) Name another decent app that needs ANOTHER app and to read the user manual to make it work 2) Every other app finds my location fine. I have GPS lock. Your app "obviously" doesn't call on the location properly. "That's your [app's] fault. 3) My device is fine, thank you! 4) Please don't be so rude. Yes, you were rude. Telling a customer that what they say is "Rubbish" is dismissive. EVERY other app that uses GPS on my phone is fine. So, saying it's "your" fault is unhelpful to say the least. Then, telling me I should read the user manual and install another app to make it work strongly suggests that it isn't MY phone that has an issue at all, but perhaps YOUR app? Then proceeding to tell me off for using the approved route of communication? I suppose you expect me to give a higher star rating? The. App. Doesn't. Work. So, why would I? It simply doesn't do what it's supposed to do with my phone, and as a user, I shouldn't have to do all these extra things to make it work. As a developer, you should ask me what phone I have, troubleshoot, test, then ask me to revisit. I would gladly change the rating if it works. I have rated a lot of things on here.
