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!

It's been brilliant (hence the stars), but I just opened it: was considering installing what3words but as it's quite big, I wanted to be sure that this was still ok. I'm not even getting the arrow. Have left it a few minutes & still nothing (hence only 3 stars). I have a basic phone on Android 6, it has enough space to work, just not a lot to put other apps on it. Please check it out as it's ideal for us. We go sailing (inland waters) & OS coordinates could literally be a life saver!

Works when first installed. Completely fails to work when you try to use it later on. Instead you just get a red triangle that moves about a bit, the minutes pass but no grid ref appears. Would be really nasty if you actually needed the help of the app. Have had the same experience on two different phones. Think this is somebody's idea of a joke.
