Field Triangulate 4+

Practice first

Downloaded it last minute to use for fox hunting with my radio club as my son backed out last minute.
I like it and have since practiced it and do like it as a one person operation. Can save points and historic readings. I recommended it to my radio club.

I wish I had not wasted $7.99.

I would like an app that does what this one is supposed to do. This one doesn’t do what it is supposed to do. This app is wildly inaccurate. I have been testing in Utah desert with large distinct landforms, similar to monument valley, that should be easy to point at and take a bearing. The accuracy is so far off the app is useless. Also, the layout and procedure is unintuitive and the documentation is poor. When you do figure out how it is supposed to work you also figure out how poorly the layout supports the function. Finally, the developer does not respond to email questions regarding functionality. This app would be a disappointment if it was free. It is a bad joke at $7.99. I think a refund should be provided but the App Store says this app is not eligible for a refund.

Useful but problematic

I’ve been seeing a consistent problem where projection lines disappear at carrying zoom levels, most often when close up.

Another issue is when holding the phone sideways to sight down the edge of the phone the keyboard blocks the save button on screen. Additionally, being able to use the volume buttons would work well for locking the direction in.

After setting a projection line the map at times will zoom out to a world view requiring panning and resetting the zoom level.

Finally I’d like to be able to exit from creating a projection like without creating the line on the map. As it is now, tapping off to the side will return to the map but will still set a projection line at 0 degrees. One must then go to the listing of readings and delete it from there.

Developer Response ,

Hello Nick Thanks for the feedback. I didn't notice it here at first, but I see it now. Thanks for the concise reports. For next release I've fixed the second and fourth. The first is less in my control (the platform controls this) but I can investigate a workaround. The third is the app attempting to zoom to contain all the parts (readings, triangulation) but I'll look into it. Let me know if you'd like to be on the early access list to get a copy before next release. Thanks again for the detailed feedback. support@neukadye.com
