Pros & Cons

Comments on U-Droid Center for u-blox® for Android
★★★★★
Stable enough for me. It is working great with my gps chip.
★★★★★
This is a really good and comprehensive application. No nonsense, just a good app. This app has most of the features I would want but the most important one I need in the field is to be able to select different Satellite Systems. I can remove a system (sometimes I have to try a few times) but I cannot add back in. As soon as I press send, the tick box unticks itself and that system does not become active. Mock location appears not to start either, the button flashed but nothing starts. I have set it in the Developer Options.
★★☆☆☆
Total scam does not work at all!! And you can not get a refund for some reason It doesn't work but wants root access & your contacts, photos and media???? Total scam!!!
★★☆☆☆
The app doesn't work, it couldn't even detect one of my usb gps devices. It detected another one, however there was an error preventing any output. Tried emailing Dev for help, no response. Tried getting money back through Google and Dev has rejected refund. Rip-off!!!
★★☆☆☆
Would love to submit bug reports for this app. I have experienced several consistently. It crashes when taking photos & when reconnecting to the unbox module after a dropped connection. The app drops the connection to the module when it is not in focus & running as a mock location service. The values reported by the mock location function do not match the values reported by this app(e.g. the mock location's horizontal accuracy in meters is actually the HDoP value).
