Perfect
What an excellent app, I used to carry around my Garmin Etrex to mark find spots when I’m out metal detecting, now I just use this brilliant app, it uses the grid reference that Scottish treasure trove prefers for find spots-my only regret is that I wish I’d have found the app sooner, well done to the app developers for making this app.
Not bad
Not that bad of an app
Good App
Great app, however I’m finding that on the Waypoint finder in the map section when changed to Satellite it’s extremely blurry
No map data
This app simply gives you the grid reference of your current location. There is no map data, you cannot enter coordinates to find a location or mapping data
Accuracy
Compass not at all accurate.
Very useful
I don’t use it often, but when I need it, it’s invaluable
Was good now not
Accuracy has dropped hugely recently, in an attempt to make you pay for premium app.
Good App.
Excellent and precise for locating positions.
An Excellent Tool
We find this perfect for marking up find spots whilst metal detecting!
App
Doesnt work
Simple app that works well
Numbers are very clear and easy to read. For some reason the letters are much smaller and harder to read.
Os
Excellent
Its a static page don’t waste your time
There’s no buttons no options you can’t search a location to get a grid reference it’s literally a static page DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME
GPS coordinate’s

Feedback
Very bad
Super
Great little app. Does just what you want.
fake
This app is fake and for the purpose of money plz don’t install it
So simple, so useful
There are other apps that give your current OS grid reference. But this one stands out for its simplicity. There is nothing to do but to open the app, wait a moment if it wasn’t already open and tracking my location, and then take a screenshot. I do surveys of lichens. When I want to record an observation the first thing I do is to take a screenshot of this app. That gives me my location and altitude, both vital pieces of information for any survey. Then I take photos of the location, of the lichen, and close-up photos of its details. All images later in time to my screenshot belong to that location, until the next screenshot. Non-visual information goes into my notebook, cross-referenced to the images by the grid reference and/or the time. What I like is how this app presents all the information I need clearly and legibly, uncluttered by anything unnecessary. In my camera roll, and later in an image folder, the screenshots stand out clearly, separating out each location where my observations were made.
Use of App
Easy to use and very useful. This is my go to app in UK. Happy to recommend
Excellent
Does what it says in the tin!!!
