Kev D		 On my Pixel 4a, Android 13, this app cannot access location if app is running in background. Since I need this app to access location while running in background and it will not do that, this app is useless to me.

Ashot Matevosyan		 Previously this was working just fine. In new android versions I can only choose an option "access the location while using the app" and apparently it looses connection in the background. But this is the whole point of the app. Please add an option "Always access location" Hint: it is called ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION permission

Austin M		 I have ulefone armor 9 that I was having terrible problems with the location not showing on Google maps. I'd usually have to drive about 15 minutes till it would half figure out where I am at. This app is easy to use and works like a charm

Kit Kitthefocus		 used to work amazing, took couple of SECONDS to get a proper connection. but since this week it doesn't anymore. takes ages before i get something of a conection, sometimes more than 10-20 MINUTES in a flat country , no mountains, just roads, meadows and forests. to get a connection. even though i see many green bars in the listing. not sure what's going on, but it's always blinking yellow looking forward to the next fix / update , to restore as it once was

Vlady Boy		 It doesn't work on my device properly. It will work for around 30 seconds and then just stop untill I open the app back. Since I am using this app for better map functioning, it is very cumbersome to use it

John Spalvins		 Seems to help other apps stay locked on my current location. Google still seems to have it's own way of finding my location - pro & con. All I know is that I rely on my GPS for work and every time I swich phones or uninstall this app, at the end of the day, I'm so frustrated with the GPS and then it hits me, I didn't have it on as always. Uber, Lyft, Waze nav all seem to be quicker in getting me moving again asap. Just keep it running in the background. And google the settings for help.

Mark Seeley		 Reduced to 4 stars because it is STILL not quite as reliable as it used to be.. Something's changed.. :( Autostart at start up doesn't always work, and it also gives false notifications that all is good, when actually the signal lock has been lost, You then need to open the app to refresh it . However.. when it works, it works great!.

Adib Faiz Sharifuddin		 What sorcery is this. My waze app was suddenly going crazy today not getting any gps signal at all. I used this app, lo and behold waze is working fine again. I even tried google maps, restarting waze and my phone without avail.

A Google user		 Seems to fix the problem with my GPS bouncing all over the map on my LG Stylo5. I've been told this is a Google issue, not a problem with the phone. This has happened on more than one device. The problem I have with this app is that it keeps turning off. I want it to stay on at all times, no timeout. Is there a way to do this? Otherwise I have to reboot the phone, get a correct location and lock the GPS again everytime it turns off.

A Google user		 Does not seem to have any significant effect to Google maps navigation. My android does not catch the gps immediately despite having the gps locker installed and active at the time. I would just uninstall the app rather than give it a two or one star rating.
