User Reviews

Handy GPS is a highly reliable and accurate GPS app praised for its ease of use, detailed features, and excellent customer support. It excels for outdoor activities like hiking and bushwalking with strong offline capabilities. However, users report issues including non-persistent waypoints, the need to keep the screen active while tracking, occasional app freezes, and challenges with data sharing due to increased security. Despite these, it remains a favored alternative to dedicated GPS devices, continually improved by its developer.

Pros

Reliable and accurate GPS functionality suitable for hiking, bushwalking, and backcountry navigation.
User-friendly interface with straightforward navigation and easy export of data (KML, KMZ files).
Good customer support with responsive developers.
Offline maps capability allowing downloads before going into signal-limited areas.
Features like GPS averaging and the ability to gather field data including photos and waypoints enhance usefulness for professional use.

Cons

Waypoints are not permanent between sessions, causing users to lose important markers.
The app stops tracking when the phone screen goes to sleep, requiring the screen to remain on during use, which is inconvenient for long hikes.
Recent updates cause navigation issues such as no button to return to the main screen and freezing problems.
Data security changes have made it difficult to share or import tracks easily in the field, hindering group activities.
Limited satellite imagery coverage and aggressive zoom on maps with far-apart waypoints can reduce effectiveness in some areas.

...again i said.. thanks for the good works..keep doing good works for the sake of my one time payment scheme... ☺👌👍👍 Thanks again sir, I really enjoy it.. It's okay to add more features in the subscription method and not include it at this method, but please don't remove the features that already includes in this method. I really2 hoping that this apps will continue to available, please sir, don't remove it. I already replace the Garmin Etrex model to this, it's more cheaper and reliable. 🙂
