Fantastic, quick customer service. Great attention to detail in the app. Would love to see the ability to use other mapping providers, such as Google. Highly recommended, especially for multi's.

A beautifully app. GUI looks amazing and it's functional too. Loads of features that the original app just can't offer. Looking forward to future updates for this app.

Not of much use if you cannot sort the list by distance like on the iphone. Hurry and update plea se.

If you like solving puzzle caches and finding Multi's, this is a must have program to have in the field. 5 Stars for the outstanding customer service. I had a problem with authorization but it turned out to be my phone that had the issue but they stayed on it until they figured it out.

Ive emailed the CO and am awaiting a reply, in the meantime check out the instructions for version 6 (for Iphone) this looks like a lite version and doesn't seem to have the same functions, I tried to get version 6 as it doesn't make it clear that it is only for Iphone???, and although I had a fully working version on my Galaxy note, I paid for what I thought was version 6 but no, so it looks as though Ive paid for a free app. I cant find any instructions for ver 3 and i cant get parts of it to work, the most important part namely converting clues to lat and long. Only 4 reviews yet 16 one star votes and all positive, something strange there, lets see if this review makes it, 43 ratings and 4 reviews. All in all I'm not happy that Ive spent nearly 6 hours trying to sort this out. As I see it not much has been improved since 2010 when it was first implemented, if anything improves then Ill edit this review. Ok the CO responded in record quick time to my queries and it does work ok, however a few basic instructions would not have come amiss, I still stand by my opinion that it is the poorer brother of the Iphone app.

The addition of paste means it is now usable in the field. Formula & value entry is a bit clunky though. Love the webserver for editing from home. Certainly worth the money. Thanks for the update.
