Review summary

Users appreciate the app's accuracy and usefulness in finding magnetic variation and declination. However, many report significant issues with the GPS/location detection feature not working correctly across various devices, forcing users to manually select their location. Additionally, the app sometimes defaults to a location in Spain instead of the user's current location. Some users also experience crashes on older Android versions. Overall, while helpful, the app's location functionality needs improvement.

Pros

Accurately provides variation data and is consistent.
Helpful for finding magnetic declination.
Good application when location permission is granted.

Cons

GPS/location detection does not work properly on multiple devices.
App defaults to location in Spain instead of user's actual location.
Crashes instantly on some older Android versions (e.g., Android 4.04).
Requires manual location selection if GPS is not functional, reducing convenience.

2018-10-02	A *****	Good application. To those complaining about automatic location detection, allow the "location permission" to this application.
