User Reviews

The GNSS Status app is praised for ease of use, reliability, and enhanced location accuracy with Trimble receivers. However, users report significant issues in recent updates including the need for an additional app causing battery drain, app instability with frequent disconnections and crashes, and slower accuracy fixes. Compatibility problems exist with non-Trimble software and certain receivers. The app's location accuracy often degrades drastically after disconnecting from external devices, negatively affecting navigation until a reboot is performed.

Pros

Easy to use and reliable according to multiple users.
Works well with Trimble receivers like R2 and R1 on various devices.
Provides improved location accuracy when connected to external GNSS receivers.

Cons

Requires installation of a separate app (GNSS Direct) which drains battery and is inconvenient.
App is unstable in newer versions causing frequent disconnections from receivers and crashes.
Reduced efficiency due to manual reconnection and slower accuracy fix times after update 3.0.
Compatibility issues with third-party apps like Survey123; limited receiver support (issues with R8 and some receivers).
Location accuracy worsens significantly after disconnecting receiver, requiring device reboot to restore accuracy.
