Coming back to this after not using for some time, noting that the usefully-added satellite count seems to have been removed again, and the red compass needle doesn't do anything much useful any more (think I remember the latter being the case with my last phone too, a Samsung Galaxy A40) despite calibration that seems to make other compass-enabled apps happy enough. Still giving a decent four stars for the top-notch core grid reference functionality, though!

Extremely useful for navigation. Very reliable and has not crashed once. This could save your life.

Great on my old galaxy ace but I can't seem to change the number of figures from 6 on my new galaxy a3. Update (2022) worked flawlessly on Hauwei p30 lite, and always for work purposes. Will be using this to plot footpath signposts for a large project in a forestry area soon.
