GPSTrack App Reviews

I bought this app to track our explores. We just got some ATVs and live in an area with LOTS of trails, and few of them are documented - it is all word-of-mouth. This app works great, it doesnt require a cell signal to track, it just uses the iPhones built in GPS. It creates pretty accurate tracks and tells you a lot of nice info as you are tracking. It also exports into a Google-friendly and garmin-friendly format. The only suggestions I have so far are: - To be able to bulk export, OR simply have a "next track / previous track" button while exporting/ viewing tracks. It is tedious to go into one track, export it, go back to the track list, find the next one, export it, and so on. - To be able to adjust the point intervals - you can select "only record accurate points" but it will record every second no matter what. It would be an easy bit of code to record points every 1, 5, 15, 30, 60, 120 seconds and so on. - Caching maps - if you leave an area with data the app will "cache" the map and you can still see the immediate area. Would be AWESOME if the app would cache more of the area, much like google earth caches as you browse - then you could go off the grid and still see a cached map with your track on it. That is it - with the above features it would be more than perfect. Thanks for this app! Im getting friends and family to buy it too, and well start documenting the trails and start making public maps… fun stuff.

Nothing fancy here but it gets the job done and does it well. No bells or whistles just tracking and clean effective way to export gpx files by email. Great app.

I purchased on the recommendation of Tim Grey, a photographer and educator that I respect. Maybe it worked on his phone but on mine it randomly added points to my track that were thousands of feet away. Thought something might be wrong with the phone. Contacted Apple but no help there. Sent a support request to John Bafford but never received a response. Apparently John is happy to continue collecting money while not maintaining or supporting the app. Finally found PDF Maps which works great and showed there is nothing wrong with my phone.

Simple, effective and worth every penny.

I quite like this app. I wanted to be able to track my walking and this does the trick.

I run a security company and I use this app in my mobile units. It has not only keep track where each unit been, but it also improved the quality of work of my employees. So, I will do something that I dearly do. That is give it a 5 star rating. Please keep the updates coming. Thank you!

This application is exactly what I was looking for! I use it for flying, and it actually does two things for me: 1. Record the flight track, obviously 2. Keep the GPS running in the background, so I can switch between my flying GPS app and other apps without losing GPS lock on satellites! Well done!

Not clear on why your not allowing the program to run on the ipod touch 4g. With the right accessories like the TomTom Car Kit for iPod Touch this should work perfectly.

Im a pilot, and I wanted something I could use to track my flight, which this program does just fine, but then be able to review it later. This program tracks the flight just fine by showing you a nice blue line on the map and telling you a position, altitude and speed IF you are looking at it during the actual tracking. When you complete the track and go to review it later it tells you nothing more then a date, that nice blue line again, duration ouf track and the distance traveled. You cant review you speed during different sections of the track, altitude, direction of travel or anything, just that nice blue line again. Ill give it to them for being able to track me precisely and draw a nice line in the map of my track traveled but what good is telling me the altitude, speed, heading and anything else it boasted to show if you can see none of them when reviewing each track, just the blue line drawn on the map? Obviously Im not impressed and will be purchasing another program to do what this one should have.

Tried to use this today to track a car trip. In one hour app crashed 12 times. Each time when bringing the app back up, it said it was still tracking, but it wasnt. Had to stop track and restart. If crashing could be addressed, I like the simplicity of the app. One other more minor annoyance is the amount of screen real estates devoted to the stats while tracking, would prefer a full screen map.

Great app. Tracks are nice and simple. Export to google earth, or *.gpx format. This is nice for later import into mapping on pc, or GE on the iPad. Only complaint: I wish you could toggle on or off the auto streaming map image. When on 4G, map streaming can eat up valuable data plan quickly. So, turn off 4G before launching this app.

Very accurate so far. Saves me having to use a dedicated device, none of which worked as well.

This works great for sailing and driving!

Nice product. I used it on a kayaking trip today. I started the app, returned to the iPhone home screen, and put my phone in a waterproof case. When I got off the river five hours later, the app showed my path on a map and said I travelled 11.2 miles. It used less than 10% battery per hour running in background. I can export the track to my computer to import into a GPS program to see detailed info about the track. I also used it when touring a college campus. I could look at the track on the map and see which dorms and buildings I toured. Definitely worth purchasing.

Works perfectly. Upload the tracking file into lightroom. Images get placed on the map with GPS info and perfect placement. Quick, easy and just what I was looking for.

Its perfect for what I need. The tracks my path and tells me how far Ive walked even when I go off trail. Did I mention its actually free of ads!? This app reminds me of the days when programmers built software because they wanted to, not just to get paid. Thank you!

This is my go-to app for keeping tracks of my hikes and other outdoor activities.

This app has a nice interface and is a good way to keep track of ones routes. The distance reported by this app seems to overstate the distance compared to a dedicated GPS device, but the distance reported by this app is comparable to that from another iPhone app I tried. Results should be more accurate if the tracking is paused when stationary--I gained 0.15 miles while taking a 35-40 minute break without pausing the app.

Purchased to record GPS locations to correlate with photos taken while bird watching. Tracks recorded at 2 different sanctuaries had me traveling 130+ and 65 miles on foot in under 2 hours, including several miles out to sea! Completely useless to me.
