App REVIEWS

Charles

Maps and tracking are accurate. Great for huge areas with multiple parking lots in unfamiliar locations.
----------
Thanks for reviewing the app, Charles!

Help

I use it for navigation here on the waterways of Jacksonville. Very accurate postioning with excellent agreement of map depths and on-board depth meter readings.

Bigg

It has several very useful features that I use regularly and they are free so with a paid suscrptuon it will most likely have a allot more 1 example is the trail making it works very good in deep woods to mark and cut single track for up coming races.

spi

This app appears to have all the whistles and bells-- just starting to use it but impressed so far...
----------
Thanks for taking the time to review Polaris. Enjoy the app!

Terry

Worked great while hiking today. Stopped when I went onto a different trail but it could have been me bumping it after I checked it and was putting my phone back in my pocket..

Your

Moved into an area l was completely unfamiliar with surrounded by almost 100,000 acres. I downloaded the appropriate maps and figured out how it worked. And off l went. The trail marker feature was unbelievably accurate. The best part is no data is required!!! This lil beauty stands alone as long as the satellites can cya. You can choose magnetic north or GPS. I use a G pad 5 tablet. I used the free version only. No tutorial so learn b4 ya go and dont rely on just one thing. Really great app!!!
----------
Thanks for taking the time to leave such a comprehensive review. Enjoy the app! - DS SOFTWARE

Michael

Beautiful graphics & useful for many purposes. Tracked location and course on inland waters, urban streets, etc. Sophisticated navigation tool, but mostly used for orientation and fun.

Chris

In my opinion, it's the best GPS app out there by far. It's perfect for I use it for. I do a lot of 4x4 and hiking in the back country of Colorado. Nice how you can "waypoint" and record your trails. It seems to me that it would be almost impossible not to find your way out with app. Ease of use is another great commodity of this GPS app. Never hit the back country without it. Fantastic job on its creation and updates guys!! You have a winner here!!
----------
Thanks for the thoughtful review, Chris. We value your feedback!

Richard

Not like a real GPS device. You can record a track (trail) but you cannot navigate a track? Have used it only for hiking so no idea how it works for driving. The waypoints functionality is good, and it's nice to see waypoints and tracks on satellite images. But the basic hiking functionality of following a recorded track seems to be missing.
----------
Of course you can navigate a track. Tap the track on you trail list, select "Map Trail". Start walking outdoors and the map will come to life showing a directional location marker which is updated every 2 seconds. Refer to the marker, the trail tracing and the other map cues to stay on the trail. Email questions to support@discipleskies.com

I tried the free version First and was disappointed I thought that if I paid for the other version GPS waypoints navigator that it would be better. It isn't. It's still just draws a straight line from one position to the next it does not show the exact Trail at tooth taken. Furthermore in comparison to other products the maps are not as good.
----------
If a map does not have the detail you need, try one of the other map types. There are over 400+ vector and several raster types including high detail, high resolution topographic, satellite & NOAA nautical maps. Trail points are drawn continuously from gps signal to gps signal. Email support@discipleskies.com for GPS and trail help.

Sun

Intrusive ads completely spoil usability. I keep trying to delete the waypoint that's in the way point list after installation. I delete it and it comes right back. Had to watch a few ads just while trying to delete that stupid waypoint. Unable to add a waypoint by entering latitude and longitude. Intrusive ads are a horrendous price to pay for any application. Uninstalled.
----------
Hi. You can delete the default waypoint after you create one of your own. Remove ads by upgrading the app. Add a waypoint by entering coordinates from the hammer on the first screen. Multiple formats are supported. See screen shot. Email support@discipleskies.com if you need further assistance.

Mike

I had high hopes for this GPS app. But it failed to deliver. I did a kown 3 mile hike. It was off by 3/4 miles. It showed 2.25 miles. Total time was 45 minutes. App showed 20 minutes. Used it again along side a handheld Garmin GPS. Again, the apps measured distance was about .25 mile per one mile traved. The timer was very inaccurate. The map was accurate, so no worries there if you want to use it as a map guide. But if you want to track time and distance, this app is very inaccurate.
----------
Sorry you had trouble with a recording. Sounds like either the GPS or its host was stopped. Turn off battery optimizations while recording, otherwise the GPS or its host may get turned off by the manufacturer's battery saving features. Contact support@discipleskies.com for free GPS trouble shooting if the problem persists.

Mark

A bit clunky, but has a wealth of features. It’s okay for free, but you can only save 3 routes at a time. Possibly if purchased it unlocks more features. Doesn’t seem to keep a time on your routes which I would have liked and only has elevation and plotting. The good is there are lots of map vectors which is very cool. But, I’m still looking

David

I predominantly use the app for driving directions. I also very much like the app. One of its particularly appreciated virtues is the ease with which it will provide directions from a current location to a destination. The one thing that disappoints is the circumstance that I cannot get the voice assist to work even when it is set as unmuted
----------
Hi David. Check your volume settings and make sure MEDIA volume is all the way up. Also, if your phone's bluetooth is on it could in some circumstances mute the sound.- DS SOFTWARE

Matt

Really enjoying the app thus far. It's not perfect, but it has all the features you could ask for, works well, and for a free app it's really quite impressive. I'm thinking about upgrading. But what really earns them the five stars is that, when i initially reviewed the app with a complaint, they responded, and corrected the problem, within 15 minutes! Anyone paying that much attention is clearly committed to their product, and i feel bad for taking so long to edit my review. Sorry, folks.
----------
Thanks for the report, Matt. You should be able to back out of an ad by pressing the back button. We reported the misbehaving ad to the ad provider and have barred ads from that advertiser. It will probably take a few hours for these changes to go into effect - Best Regards, DS Software

Rob

It does a great job of recording your trail so you can get back to your beginning point or any way point in between. It shows your mileage so you know how much ground you have covered It does have ads but they don't show when you are on the trail. Overall a pretty good app and it is free of charge

Larry

Complete confusion. When I upgraded the upgrade app had a different name so I kept going back to the original app with ads. Nowhere was I advised of the new app name. Free version did ask if I wanted to transfer my trails to this new app with another name. Finally figured out this was the upgrade and not someone trying to hijack my computer. I admit, I mostly use IOS on iPads and never see this type of upgrade. All said, free version was buggy and locked up on each page. Paid version seems ok.

David

This is a very good app. I downloaded a vector map for Michigan from within the app. It installed to /Polaris_Navigation/Maps on my internal storage. The map is relatively small so it doesn't take up much space. I tapped the map button in the lower right corner of the main screen, then the Map Manager button on the next screen. Then I tapped View Map after tapping the Michigan map (58.36MB) near the top of the screen under Vector Maps. Turning on Auto Center showed my mapped location very quickly. I turn it off whenever I want to scroll around the map. The app is quite accurate despite my not having a magnetic sensor in my phone. I have to use it to guide me whenever I use Google Maps to map out directions for walking some place in my new neighborhood, as Google Maps tends to be very confusing in tracking my movements and displaying the route directions when I'm on foot rather than an automobile.

David

Better than expected for a free app! I recorded a hike and waypoints, with pics, on the 1st try. Upgraded for day 2. Just imported my trails to Google Earth on my PC. Love it! Works as expected, except: I changed colors for my 2nd recorded trail (red and green) but they both display blue in GE Pro. I can't select the trail to modify properties in GE.

Richard

This is a great app , has multiple functions. I really like the ability to get a position even without cell service and the ability to send a position quickly via text when you get a bit of signal. Especially in an emergency situation, which I have tested to provide location in the mountains for EMS response.
