Perfect

I was having issues with navigation apps (Apple Maps, Google Maps and Waze) frequently losing track of where I was, when driving. Thanks to this app I was able to see that the GPS signal strength dropped massively when I started the engine, and so the apps were trying to navigate using cellular - no wonder they got lost. I repositioned my aftermarket CarPlay receiver, which was causing interference, which fixed the problem - but without this app I was thinking I'd need to get an expensive phone repair.

Thanks! Worth every penny.

Excellent App and very helpful support!

I’d been having trouble Strava not working properly and no one could help identify if it was their app or my phone. Downloading this app helped identify that my phone GPS was only working on phonemasts/WiFi locations and it wasn’t picking up satellites. An email to the developer was responded to very quickly with a long list of helpful info that helped identify it was my phones GPS antenna at fault - these are £4 on eBay and £40 for a phone shop to install - all sorted now! Thanks for all your help!

GPS Analysis for Drone Safety

I was concerned that drones could be problematic when trying to fly in areas of tree/building cover. Most videos I had watched of drones crashing into trees; cars and buildings were due to inaccurate GPS telemetry.
I got this app, to test for GPS telemetry data, was good enough to fly a drone. I believed this app has save my drone from crashes. The app is able to show strength of GPS signal and accuracy of the ‘Home Spot’. Anything great than 3 metres is not good enough for drone takeoff.
Protect your investment with this app.
