GPS Diagnostic: Satellite Test for Positive User Reviews

Checking GPSI have used this app to check whether I am getting a good GPS signal and in particular seeing individual satellite strengths is very interesting. The interface has been improved and now really good..Version: 3.4

GPS DIAGNOSTICI've now used this app on several occasions. I've found it to be very accurate and does exactly what I require..Version: 2.4

Very good appThis app does all I needed it to do..Version: 2.4

Excellent GPS Diagnostic ToolFirst rate app that does exactly what the description says. The developer responds to questions very quickly. A very useful tool for GPS problems..Version: 2.1

Really goodI found this really helpful in sorting out my iPhone’s irregular GPS performance. Would be even better if it showed the number of satellites locked onto..Version: 3.6

Good tool for drone pilots.Good tool for drone pilots..Version: 3.1

Great for location testingWas looking for an app that would help determine GPS Satélites, WiFi Location, Bluetooth and cell triangulation. This app checks most of my boxes and it’s great when performing location testing with different hardware. It helps diagnose issues with connected devices that rely on gps as wel as FEM2Cell position for businesses that rely on good communication..Version: 3.3

10 Stars! Apple Diagnostics UselessThis App is Fabulous! Apple refuses to update their Apple Store / Apple Care troubleshooting diagnostics to include ANY GPS Functionality. If you have such a problem they will tell you that you have No Problem. They will either deny it (Because it passes their tests ) or suggest you buy a new phone (sighting their diagnostics do not find ANY problem with your GPS). With this diagnostic, I was able to prove the issue to Apple in seconds, but as my phone was out of warranty it was obvious they weren’t going to do anything about it. Tell anyone you know about this diagnostic especially if their phone is under warranty! In my case I was able to repair the iPhone 6 hardware issue by reconnecting the “F” antenna of which one side had come loose during the defective battery replacement procedure..Version: 3.2

GPS DiagnosticA very handy app, good work!.Version: 2.4

The single most useful app I’ve ever downloadedI was troubleshooting a GPS issue in my car with Apple CarPlay. This app clearly identified it wasn’t my phone, as when I am not hooked up to the vehicle the GPS is spot-on. Amazing app..Version: 3.1

Just what I neededI was looking for an app to give me the raw data from the GPS. I used to have one but it was abandoned by the developer and no longer worked. This app dose more than I want but hey I like it especially because the info for elevation can be set to feet instead of meters so I don’t need to convert..Version: 3.1

Great utility appAs advertised, the app shows you detailed data on your devices GPS functionality. After a few days of seemingly terrible gps, this app helped me troubleshoot. My location was only being reported by cell, WiFi, and Bluetooth. No satellite connections for gps. Luckily it was not the chip, after restarts and resetting network settings, a factory reset finally fixed the issue. This app confirmed it by showing i now has signal from gps satellites..Version: 3.1

Great appThis is the only app I know of that shows the status of the GPS constellation it sees. It does a great job and certainly makes it interesting when the constellation drops out and Apple Maps starts to wonder. It is a must have!.Version: 3.5

Very usefulGreat app..Version: 3.1

App does as it saysVery good useful app for those of us that like to see the details of what is going on. I would like the bar charts to show individual bars for at least 18 satellites. This would make it even better for me, when wanting to know more detail for drone navigation. I have given a 5 star rating though for it’s current capability..Version: 3.1

Great app. Fantastic serviceVery useful app with a fast, responsive and helpful developer. The service alone is worth the price of the app..Version: 2.9

GPS Diagnostic: Good AppWorth getting. I’m happy with it..Version: 3.1

BrilliantHelped to solve my gps signal problems. Highly recommend..Version: 3.1

Excellent app.Found this app to work flawlessly. Always accurate information..Version: 3.2

Works WellWould like the ability to view/list satellite information I'm locked onto..Version: 2.9

Great appIos9 issue fixed Nice one! I use my ipad mini as a navigation tool when walking and this diagnostic is very useful. Thanks dev for fixing this. BUT has stopped working on iOS 9 - works on my iPhone and iPad but not my iPad mini. Update:- Sorry, i should have said that it crashes on startup. ive tried reinstalling and ipad restart, but still wont open. great support, with very quick developer response..Version: 3.4

Accurate and informative.Excellent.Version: 2.9

Great for a mapping geek like meLove it use it all the time. Let’s me know if I can trust my gps reading at the moment, also use it to measure my air speed while flying..Version: 3.3

More number of satellitesCould you please add at least 8 satellites bars instead of just 4 bars? Thank you..Version: 3.2

Should be part of operating systemApple would believe my gps wasn't working properly until I installed this app.Version: 2.9

PerfectWith the recent ending of CDMA as a time source for NTP servers we had to purchase new units that sourced time via GPS. Running into signal issues this app helped me locate a area where GPS signal was attainable. It’s a simple app but did everything I needed perfectly..Version: 3.6

Just what I was looking for!I’ve had this app for about 10 minuets. It’s exactly what I need for my DJI Spark that I haven’t even bought yet. Tells me everything I need to know about the quality of the GPS status including how many satellites it sees and the signal strength. Well worth the cost..Version: 2.9

Excellent GPS appA wonderful and powerful little app. It rapidly helped me to diagnose a GPS chip failure in my iPhone 5s. Also is very intuitive and informative. Developer also very responsive with feedback. First rate..Version: 2.5

Outstanding GPS diagnostic toolI had an issue with my new Aston Martin losing GPS lock intermittently, with the result erroneous and highly distracting directions would emerge ! Not good! I found this app the best by far at providing strong diagnostics to prove to factory a problem in the car. I would stop when problem emerged, check actual GPS position, number of satellites in view and strength on app. and compare with iPhone Google Maps and OEM nav system representation. That gave hard data for troubleshooting and we found a glitch in the factory coax cable between GPS aerial and infotainment system. A replacement coax installed over wiring harness and GPS fully restored. This app was instrumental in providing the high confidence data set to resolve the issue. Just outstanding..Version: 3.6

Excellent tool for troubleshooting and speed measurementI successfully used this app to confirm the quality of the reception of satellite data. Months later I find myself in Japan on the Shinkansen “bullet” train wondering how fast we are traveling. This app provided the answer. In case you are wondering, we were traveling about ~275 km/hr!.Version: 3.6

Great toolHelped me prove to the Apple Store "geniuses" that my GPS chip was not working. Got my iPhone 6 replaced as a result which would not have been possible without this cool app. Thanks !.Version: 2.1

EssentialEhh aren’t there more apps like this? Without this app, my 2021 iPhone will not show me as much basic GPS info as my Garmin handheld unit, circa 2000. Get this to unlock the power of your phone’s incredible GPS!.Version: 3.6

Solved poor GPS tracking problems on iPhone and WatchThis app has solved my problem of poor GPS tracking when running or biking. Before, I would often lose the signal, either right at the start of my outing, or somewhere along the route. Now I start GPS Diagnostic before starting out, and wait until I get four green bars. Then the iPhone/watch location services have locked onto the satellite signal, and GPS tracking is good..Version: 3.6

Really Delivers What a GPS Diagnostic Tool ShouldThere are several apps that claim to provide GPS diagnostic capabilities. I think I looked at all of the others and they all fell far short of what they claimed. This app performs perfectly!.Version: 3.2

Good AppWorks well would be even better with OS coordinates.Version: 2.8

Very helpful appI have been having issues with my IPhone 8 GPS. Never seems to know where it is. I have tried everything. I downloaded this app and boom...I found the culprit. Unplugged the phone sees all satellites. Plugged into the infotainment system on my 2015 Subaru Legacy, immediately shows "no satellites". Very odd but now I know the problem. I verified the same behavior on my iPad as well and in 2 different cars with the same radio. Excellent app..Version: 3.1

GPS signal testerFor the money $5 approx it's a good solid app well programmed and very easy to understand there are free ones out there but they lacked the feel of good performer IMHO.Version: 2.4

Excellent GPS toolI wasn’t sure if my GPS was working correctly but after using this app I know everything is ok. The satellite signal-strength chart is excellent and sensitive to changes in location. It’s really useful for finding a GPS signal or improving the reception, and it updates in real time. The app is easy to use and works perfectly..Version: 2.1

Works with Garmin GLO.I bought this app only to see if my Garmin GLO bluetooth receiver worked with this app. It works very well on showing GPS Satellite status. The app would get five stars if it had a battery Status Indicator, and Bars showing GPS and GLONAS satellite bars and strength signals, and an accuracy in Meters. Garmin does not make a status app for the Garmin GLO, this would fill the need that Garmin does not provide..Version: 2.9

Great App!I purchased a Bluetooth connected GPS receiver from Dual and I was having trouble figuring out if the receiver was communicating with satellites or not. The app from Dual is absolutely worthless. By using this app, I was able to see live satellite connectivity and confirm everything was working properly. There is a lot of other specific gps data available through this app..Version: 3.1

Saved my iPhone 6 from doom.This app allowed me to confirm a hardware problem with the GPS antenna. I didn’t want to dismantle my phone unless I was sure it was a hardware issue. With the app running I could slap the phone into my palm and see intermittent satellite signals come and go. That knowledge plus a $3 part kit has me good to go for a few more years!.Version: 3.1

Good basic infoAll I wanted was an app to display the direct GPS data from my iPad and this works perfectly. Simple app that does its job..Version: 2.9

Absolutely fantasticThis is perfect! I have questions about how to get the best accuracy and what ‘the best accuracy’ means in terms of limits to the technology to the public. Would appreciate a few paragraphs about this to make it clearer. Thanks for a great product!.Version: 3.3

Needs to show satellites in view, and satellites lockedJust needs to add a simple text field count of the number of satellites in view, and the number of satellites locked, then it will be perfect. 4 stars until then!.Version: 3.1

Great appVery good app. Just what I have been looking for to check gps accuracy. Well worth the money and a well thought out app. Well done.Version: 3.2

Works FlawlesslyI used it to diagnose failed GPS on my iPhone 6. Now it is on my 11 and it continues to work well..Version: 3.3

Great app for kick starting navigation appsLiving on board and sailing the world as I do, I frequently find that the usual navigation apps cannot lock onto a position when out to sea. This app finds a position every time and then all other nav apps work. A great help..Version: 3.2

Great App if you want to see what your phone is doingI bought this out of curiosity and I’m very happy with it. Gives you a ton of information about what your phone is actually doing. Great support when I tried using my new iPhone X to map my progress on a commercial flight (no, apparently new iPhones won’t do it any more).Version: 3.2

Email developer button doesn't workNeed to reach out to understand what I'm looking at.Version: 3.1

FantasticApp worked as described. Was instrumental in diagnosing the issue I was having with gps signal. Simple easy to use interface. Had a question about possible cause of my problem, used the option to contact developer via email. Got a reply within 24 hours with exactly the info I needed. Would highly recommend. Now I can get my phone fixed, saved me a costly replacement..Version: 3.1

Superb SupportAm not a techi, but used this app to find out why my iPhone won’t connect to GPS. Because of what I saw on the app ( No satellites) I contacted David for advice . What a supportive reply ! Took me through every step of the way to diagnose the problem . Am still in the throes of the final test but that aside you couldn’t ask for a better response and assistance . Highly recommend this app and the support that goes with it..Version: 3.3

Pretty good but...I wish the developer had made it clear in the app description that while multiple navigation systems are supported (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and QZSS) by iPhone the app can't display which satellite is which due to Apple’s limitations. Consider this also a request to Apple to open this data up to developers, people are interested..Version: 3.2

If you need it, you need it badlyI take the GPS on my iPhone seriously. This app gives me the information I need. If you don't look beyond AppleMaps or GoogleMaps, you won't know what I'm on about. If you're prepared to go under the hood, get this app. It's useful and it works..Version: 3.1

Excellent app.Display good informations with a pleasant interface. Now that the iPhone uses Galileo in addition to Navstar and Glonass, developer should find a way to show what kind of satellites is in use specifically..Version: 3.1

RhcbVery handy app.Version: 2.8

Great app for IPhone usersHad a problem with navigation apps on my iPhone intermittently working and this helped diagnose the problem as software related. Saved me buying a new phone. The Apple Genius Bar people were very impressed as well. They said they were going to put it on their phones as well..Version: 3.1

Works with Garmin Glo 2This app works with external GPS units as well as the built in GPS chipset. Great way of checking accuracy and GPS signal..Version: 3.6

Lat/long in multiple formatsI needed an app that would quickly give me my lat/long in whatever format I needed. DMS, DM, or D. This app does it. Perfect for my needs..Version: 3.2

Fantastic!This is a great diagnostic tool. I gave it five stars. There is one feature I’d love to see extended: the sat data has four signal vertical bars: 1, 2, 3, 4 and greater. It would be even better if it could horizontally compress and expand to a per-PRN graph with Az-El-S/N data. Great app! 😊.Version: 3.2

PerfectI 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..Version: 3.1

Impressive Customer Service (10+ stars)Reason I bought app: iPhone 6 no longer had working GPS - wanted to see if it was a hardware vs. software/iOS update issue I sent an email to the developer to see if he knew of any possible solutions, after seeing there was no satellites being detected by my phone. Less than a day later, I got an incredibly thorough answer explaining the GPS functionality on my iOS, details on similar incidents among his other GPS diagnostic app users, and some possible troubleshooting solutions. In all, straightforward app that promises what it delivers for just a few bucks, but, more importantly, above and beyond responsiveness from the developer (with an issue that wasn’t even directly related to the app I purchased from him)..Version: 3.1

Accurate, clear and intuitive.Really useful.Version: 2.8

A very useful app with unique capabilitiesI believe this is the only simple app around to check GPS satellite acquisition. Gives lots of good data about accuracy activity and allows a reset of the GPS receiver. Simple, useful, and still supported well by the developer. Definitely worth the small cost..Version: 3.1

As others say.....Apple is a pain in the backside when it comes to gps on bth ipad and iphone, this app assists by helping “cross off” the list of potential reasons i.e. gps signal etc, the. You can go find the actual reason the phone has.Version: 3.2

Useful appI am using this app to ensure I know the accuracy of my Garmin GLO, which is connected to a Wi-Fi only iPad. The diagnostics are very useful and shows me that the combination of the Garmin product and Navionics marine maps are fit for purpose in the oceans. I would like to see all the satellites being used, not just the first four. That said, clever and useful app. Being able to convert from true north to magnetic north on the fly is very important when using a traditional ship compass and a GPS. Really this is very useful app. This review is from south-east Australia..Version: 3.1

Donne de très bon diagnosticsBon.Version: 3.3

Great app!Super cool app. Figured out why navigation wasn’t working well — GPS was broken on my phone!.Version: 3.6

Great AppHave had issues with maps lately on my iPhone 8; very glitchy and seems off to precise location. Downloading this app seems to have helped a lot in resolving the issue..Version: 3.6

Essential!If you want a good, solid, under-the-hood look at your GPS hardware, and do some Location Services troubleshooting, this is the app for you. Data is presented in a very clear and comprehensive way. You can reset the GPS from within the app, too. Loaded it on my iPhone 8 while a friend with a 6 did the same, and screen grabbed to show that mine saw multiple satellites, while the 6 was proven defective— no satellite bars. Highly recommended!.Version: 3.1

GPS Diagnostic - The Dr is in the House!This is a well thought out ingenious app which is simple to use and useful for taking an in-depth look at how your GPS is ‘tracking’ within your phone . I’d give it 10 stars if I could!.Version: 3.1

ExcellentUse for checking how many satellites are in position so strava has good change of been accurate, plus compass and checking altitude when out walking in the hills..Version: 3.2

Helped identify the problemMy iPhone 6S Plus was getting erratic distance and pace readings with multiple running apps. This isolated the problem to the iPhone’s GPS. Apple support had me reset the phone and reload firmware and iOS (from iTunes and a PC). That was painful, solved the problem. Great app if you suspect GPS problems..Version: 3.1

Very useful app.My iPhone 6 started having gps problems resulting in navigation apps giving approximate location. Most of the time it shows me off the road. Annoying to say the least. This app showed my GPS had a signal problem. “ GPS on “ “ no signal “. Was able to install a new gps/WiFi antenna. Long story short, my iPhone gps works again. Thanks to this app I got it sorted right away..Version: 3.2

Does the jobSimple ...no issues.Version: 3.6

Diagnosed my iPhone GPS issueMy wife’s iPhone 6 was having difficulties using turn by turn navigation. I went through all of the usual steps recommended by Apple and finally downloaded this app to confirm that my GPS was not seeing any satellites. Replaced the Wi-Fi antenna on her iPhone and now everything is working perfectly. Thanks for a great app..Version: 3.1

Now ready for iPhone 11David has this app working fully on the iPhone 11 now. Now if the other GPS intense apps (Apple Maps, Waze, ...) developers could catch up that’d be swell for all of us!.Version: 3.3

Great Diagnostic Tool!For whatever reason, the GPS in my iPhone 6s stops working whenever there is an iOS Update (starting with iOS11). This app has been terrific at helping ensure that when Waze, Google Maps, etc start showing a lack of signal or incorrect location, that it’s an Apple/iOS issue and not a hardware (broken GPS Antenna) issue..Version: 3.1

Very useful tool if maps act weird.Used this app to determine that my internal gps antenna/software weren’t functioning correctly. When any mapping software was open they often didn’t seem to accurately display my exact location and any movement shown I was inaccurately spinning or wrong streets or direction etc etc. This awesome little app was extremely useful as it displayed whether I was actually connected to gps satellites and I discovered that I wasn’t. After firmly pressing on my phone where the internal antenna was located would reconnect a loose antenna and viola, a refresh of the app displayed correctly connection and functioning and my navigation apps instantly worked better then I thought they were supposed to to work to begin with. THIS IS AN AWESOME GPS DIAGNOSTICS TOOL and will be a permanent addition to my utilities folder of apps. I cannot say any bad about it at all..Version: 3.1

Great App! Thanks!This app is a gem. Lately I have been burned on a number of apps here and of course Apple, one of the richest companies in the world, makes it nearly impossible to get a refund. This app delivers and is worth the money..Version: 3.3

Does what is says on the boxEast to us and gives me the info I need.Version: 2.9

Garmin GLO - The Missing App (and more)I've long been a fan of Garmin devices but was frustrated by the "just trust it's working" nature of the Garmin GLO 2 bluetooth GPS receiver. Garmin offers no status application to confirm device operation and basic navigation parameters. All you get is single LED on the device. This app is FANTASTIC. It works well with the GLO 2 and provides the information that adds confidence to the device. It's also great for built-in GPS, as it provides all critical navigation information. Most of the time, I just want to know the coordinates and altitude. All of this information is front and center in this app. The app makes it simple to copy and paste coordinates. It doesn't require a login or internet connectivity - a great weakness of many "full featured" gps/navigation apps. Simplicity is a huge benefit of this app. This app is worth every penny..Version: 3.6

Excellent appDoes what it says. I have been having problems resetting my location. Navigation apps wouldn’t pick up my location or follow my movements. Someone would work but delayed in picking up reception. I have tried turning on off the gps, reset phone etc. Nothing worked properly but this App can reset my location every single time. A great app if you are having gps issues! Highly recommended..Version: 3.1

Life saverWe chartered a yacht out of Dielette and after 48 hours the chart plotter went down. This app navigated for us for the rest of our trip! Great application!!! Oldfart.Version: 3.6

Great AppLet’s me see my actual coordinates and provides useful diagnostics on how my phone is determining my location. I like having access to raw data from the sensors on my phone and this gets me better information than any of the other apps I have seen..Version: 3.1

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!.Version: 3.1

Good app, does what it’s suppose toI bought the app to help diagnose a problem I was having with my iPhone GPS receiver. It works well as advertised. Thanks.Version: 3.1

Good tool + helps lost GPSBought this after terrible GPS on iPhone 11, aside from great tool and viewing of status and satellites. Have found that if I open app, refresh and then after satellites found open Satnav. The issue is greatly reduced. Too early to tell if fixed but 4 journeys had no location jumping issues when before was all the time.Version: 3.2

Helped fix Google mapsThanks for this brilliant app - can't recommend enough for those like me whose location on Google Maps sometimes froze. Great value for money..Version: 2.5

Great toolWith this tool you can see whether your GPS is still working or not. Great tool as iPhone 6 has some issues and you need to reset network settings once in a while to solve these.Version: 3.1

Very usefulDoes what it says on the tin..Version: 3.6

Birman1Good and useful app. Does what it claims .... and accurately.Version: 2.9

Impressive GPSInside my house 15 feet away from the window this shows I pick up 4 + Satellites. It’s nice to know whatever map app I use I can tell I’m getting a correct reading (location). I recommend this app..Version: 3.6

GPS Analysis for Drone SafetyI 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..Version: 3.6

GPS DiagnosticThis app is a thoroughly brilliant and beautiful piece of work. I can’t recommend it too highly, and I’m difficult to please and easily disappointed..Version: 3.6

Fantastic and worth the moneyI was having debilitating GPS issues with Strava on my iPhone which was failing to record runs and was driving me insane. This app sorted it straight away and I now use it every time before I go for a run to make sure my GPS is on point. Brilliant app.Version: 3.2

Must for dji drone fliersA must for drone fliers, especially DJI pilots who need to see how strong the gps is for following and because you often get the “can’t update home point, signal not strong enough” message. Thank you!.Version: 2.9

Great AppDoes what it says on the tin. Detailed information on the status of my GPS and signal reception quality..Version: 2.4

Just what I neededI wanted an app to show me how well the GPS signal was being received since I use a iPad for navigation in a light aeroplane. This is perfect. And when I had a question the developer responded very quickly..Version: 3.3

Outstanding ToolThis is a great tool for ensuring my other GPS-based apps are giving me valid information. It is worth the price many, many times over! Thanks so much for your perseverance in creating this! I wish I had had this app back in my earlier days when I was flying Rescue missions and working as a flight test engineer. Invaluable!! Thanks again!!.Version: 3.6

Helped me solve my iPhone GPS issueI had to buy an external gps to get things like google maps working on my phone. Apple refused to acknowledge my issue was a bad gps chip. This app worked flawlessly to show the Apple Genius that my issue was indeed hardware and not software. Connected via the phone GPS — no satellites found. Connected via a Garmin external GPS and suddenly fantastic satellite strength. Absolutely fantastic customer support from the development team as well who helped me with the diagnostic..Version: 3.1

Great appIt is worth using this to get a GPS lock before opening map related apps - as it so much faster. Secondly it gives you UK grid co-ordinates so if you are map reading it confirms your location.Version: 3.2
