This app does a decent job of complementing the Bad Elf receiver but it fails in a few key areas Pros 1 Easy to download tracks 2 Easy to clear up space by deleting downloaded tracks when downloaded or at a later time 3 Good view of the device s features e g satellites in view Cons 1 The big one the app often displays stale data that doesn t reflect the up to date state of the receiver This would be just an annoyance except that it also means that sometimes the controls don t work i e turning on the track log looks like it works but actually leaves the recorder off Apparently this is because the app doesn t really have an active connection to the receiver but it acts like it does and pretends to turn on track logging I ve lost at least half a dozen recordings that were never started due to this bug The receiver panel needs to be fixed to only show real data not cached or stale data 2 Some of the app workflow doesn t make much sense For example why is the Satellites page at the main level instead of at the device level page It apparently shows the satellite status for a single device             Good ideas so so execution Help me choose a nickname
My one request for the app would be that it shouldn t force you to redownload all the trips on the BadElf if you have previously deleted some of them from the app It can take a long time for my trips to download since they are often as much as ten hours long Making me do that with several trips is a major pain I have learned to never delete a trip from the app if it is still on the Elf but that is not a solution merely a workaround                     Good app and good devices Particle_person
Purchased Bad Elf for one reason aviation ForeFlight use but the Elf has morphed into a bunch of other uses including hiking skiing and vacations abroad Great unit and folks at Elf are always there always helpful John Malkin 12 2017                     Bad Elf Thumbs UP JHMBBL
The app has gotten sophisticated over several versions however this version has multiple compatibility issues with iOS 10 You cannot change settings download tracks update firmware nor pair more than 2 devices         Do not update to iOS 10 if you rely on this app Mitulica

complete waste of money useless and pointless no third party apps will work with it OFFLINE even though they claim they will so if u need to be online to use a map app including THEIR OWN MAP APP and ULMON map app and Travel Wolf app what s the point of this stupid dongle and THEIR maps are on for cities Doesn t cover any of the areas BETWEEN cities We bought this POS to navigate through Germany and Austria Took forever to find satellites and lock on them So instead we just fired up cell service and used google maps or waze or Apple maps Don t buy this waste of 100 I cannot stress enough how frustrating this whole thing has been     Horrible HORRIBLE product Bwana86
Still the same problem on iPad 4 iOS 8 3         App still crashes emailzap

Sure nice new UI etc etc But if it doesn t work Major Flaws 1 As others have noted can t update Pro firmware App detects v2 1 26 and downloads v2 1 30 but won t actually install it Says installing indefinitely til you give up and press CANCEL Then says the update was successful but not really In fact no change 2 Doesn t read barometer Pro displays Ambient Pressure 29 75 in Hg Baro Altitude 262 ft and accepts calibrations pushed from app But app Calibration page displays Ambient Pressure 0 000 in Hg Baro Altitude 0 ft Last Calibration Not Calibrated Where am I on the moon 3 Advanced Settings SBAS WAAS EGNOS toggle seems to have no effect Whether Enabled or Disabled WAAS still shows on Pro and app Product Details page Minor Flaws 4 Status icons on Product Details tab broken The ownship icon is green when GPS locked but the WAAS checkbox if that s what it is remains grey even when WAAS active 5 The Satellites page doesn t match the Pro For example Pro says 12 in use 14 in view while app says 15 of 23 satellites locked on Why the diff Perhaps some of these points are normal features but with NO USER MANUAL for the app or the Pro really just a very stripped down quick start guide posing as a manual it s hard to say Bottom Line Very buggy in some areas inconsistent and non intuitive in others Tested with Bad Elf App v3 1 1 1087 iPad Air 2 64 Gb WiFi v8 4 12H143 GPS Pro H W 8 0 0 F W 2 1 26     Not Ready For Prime Time ThereByAir
No problems                     Mine works great Jaatmaster
I see negative reviews but have entirely positive results Got the Pro for Christmas Downloaded the app but didn t execute it Charged the device connected Then brought the app up Everything worked just fine entirely as advertised                     Works fine MWinFW
The device seems like it good be great but the iOS app crashes on launch even after uninstalling reinstalling Without the iOS app the device cannot be updated or administered and track logs cannot be downloaded Support is unresponsive     app crashes on start verbad
Just upgraded to the new version The maps in the Trips Detail view don t show anything except the route plot itself with no map overlay in the Standard or Satellite view And the Offline view shows a quarter of the United States and does not allow me to zoom in All are worthless Bad Elf I d say Bad App Boo     Map views are worthless SnowstormLife
This product is awesome but I cannot use the App at all because it crashes 1 second after I try to open the App I have iOS 8 4 with App version 3 1 1 Please work on a fix         Great product but App crashes on startup chrislaynes
Anyone over there want to fix this     Crashed every time DHdhdhdhdhdhdgfdhfg
With IPad IOS 8 4 or 9 1 Cannot update firmware to Elf The app screen shows it was successfully updated but transfer never happens Update 2 0 78 If only I could give 0 stars     Worthless Update rducalpilot
Wish I could write more     Can t even open app without it crashing Nate Keethler
I am not be able to use the app with the newest iOS and app The app crashed and forced close all the time even after reinstalling     Crash all the time HWD1979
I have reached out to their support team and was instructed to unfair and repair which I tired before contacting them and it did nothing They then told me this could be related to the update A new update to the app and firmware showed up the following day After upgrading device and app still the same problem Now I can not reach the support team This level of support is unacceptable Update the latest version is continually crashing when going into saves tracks Not compatible with iOS 9 as described     Unable to delete old trip from before app update Skydiveguy
I updated my bad elf app and now it never shows the satellites anymore The old version did Please fix             What happened Curiouslibra
The updated app is VERY slow and unresponsive I am amazed Touching menu the nothing happens Prior version at least was functional what happened     Slow and unresponsive AviatorDave
I concur I ve tried updating firmware via iPhone running iOS 8 4 1 as well as iPad running iOS 8 1 Neither work the update process just seems to stall indefinitely The download step appears to work but it stalls on the update step If you press cancel after giving it 20 mins of trying it says update complete but still on old firmware version 2 0 48 Because of this it appears NOT to be an Apple iOS issue but one with the bad elf device and or app itself     Update firmware does NOT work munkeepilot
DOWNLOAD and INSTALL It kept saying updating forEVER then nothing happens Please do something about it     Firmware update on GPS PRO not working Genenam
The Bad Elf products and supporting app seem to be going from bad to worse Cannot download trips from the device anymore and the firmware update simply hangs the app     Bad Elf Pro completely unusable muppetly
New update looks really nice but is so slow that it won t even scroll let alone let me download tracks Hopefully this is a bug fixed in the next update     New update so slow unusable USC_Steve0
Not sure what different with this version iPad gets very warm and you can almost hear the life getting sucked out of the battery Seem to related to this app Like the format don t like the heat and battery drain             Hot iPad jkv5

I ve used this app and GPS device and it has worked well in my hands I recommend it to anyone who needs accurate GPS where internet is not available                 Works for me 2cross
I own an iPad Air WiFi unit Shortly after I bought it I realized that having GPS functionality would come in handy for an upcoming trip to Europe After some research it appeared that the Bad Elf Lightning unit might be what I needed To make the GPS work you need a compatible off line maps program with the Maps me app which is free being a good choice The Maps me documentation is a bit hard to understand so here s a tip to get it started after the Bad Elf GPS is plugged in on the bottom left of the Maps me is an arrow This arrow changes from a white outline to blue depending on how many times it is tapped Tap once it changes to blue and finds your location If you are moving under this condition the map stays still and the arrow moves along a course until it disappears off the page Tap a second time and the arrow tracks This means that the arrow stays still and the map moves under it The bottom line is that you need to understand the mapping software to make the GPS work Under very simple conditions there is nothing you need to do with the GPS app other than install it                     Excellent when pared with the right off line maps Littleviews
Shows connected the Bad Elf App shows it working properly but no position data on Jepp FD Pro or Garmin Pilot Tried all the work arounds no help And no real forthcoming information from Bad Elf Very disappointed     Intermittent position data on iOS 8 3 Mario Jerez
iOS 8 3 and 8 4 beta incompatible So we have to wait for iOS 8 5 I m not buying your new product I rather go buy DUAL GPS Bad Elf has turned into is turning into a bad demon right HORRIBLE for customers loyalty Fix it ASAP     Fix it quick or I m buying DUAL GPS Followthecupfly
Let me first say that the Bad Elf system is admirable as a stand alone system It s datalogging capabilities along with the ability to display flight tracks on Google Earth and Cloud Ahoy bring GA aviation on a level with the most sophisticated tracking systems available The problem is Bad Elf s ability to reliably latch on to iOS 8 3 via Bluetooth it has been a train wreck to say the least Clearly Apple didn t include Bad Elf in its assortment of developers during beta testing iOS 8 3 This is unfortunate             not friendly with iOS 8 3 flitetym
I am so impressed with the Bad Elf GPS Pro I usually don t write reviews but this is a killer app product I just returned a Garmin Oregon 650T a 500 GPS that frankly sucked I decided to give the Elf GPS Pro a try and MAN what a difference I first charged it and then turned it on inside my house to do the Bluetooth pairing knowing I was going to have to go outside afterward to get a GPS signal and whammo It locked onto satellites and had my position fix in seconds inside my house The Garmin took a couple of minutes outside to get a lock I updated the firmware easily from my iPhone The app is great the product is great it really appears that their team has thought of everything I am using the GPS with Topo Maps on my iPad and it works flawlessly That s a great app too requires a subscription but worth it and WAY better and cheaper than Garmin s maps I m ready for my trip and couldn t be happier Great work guys                     THE GPS Solution ScottSTX
After the latest iOS update the app shows the correct GPS location but this location info is not shared anymore with apps google maps or other mapping app All of this works without problem previously and the iOS privacy settings are correct and not the reason either     Not working after latest iOS update ms235
Since updating my iPad Mini Retina to iOS 8 1 2 and installing the latest Bad Elf firmware update GolfLogix is now broken Even though the Bad Elf says it is connected through BT GolfLogix repeatedly fails to locate itself on the course due to intermittent connectivity issues Bummer It s my favorite app Either Bad Elf still isn t working correctly on iOS 8 1 2 even after the newest Bad Elf firmware update or GolfLogix is not properly connecting to it consistently Either way GolfLogix now no longer works and is NOT a supported Bad Elf app any more Please fix this defect     GolfLogix Cannot Maintain Reliable GPS Connectivity PhotosByPhil

This app is easily the best app for this on the App Store by far                     Awesome zfump
I use the GPS for marine charting and land travel with several software packages It works great and even tracks walking from one end of the house to the other while in the house Best customer support I have encountered in years Fast email responses and followup Its a small device but packs a lot of power and usefulness I am glad I got one                     Works on land and sea Eyephone2
Very recent purchase so maybe this is a software issue as stated in another review When starting up for the first time it was searching for quite a long time with no activity I unplugged it iPad w lightning and plugged it back in then it started to work immediately About 50 of the time I have to do this or it will search forever Interfacing with mapping apps is very glitchy if the app recognizes it at all Also when starting the Bad Elf app it goes to the Bad Elf online store automatically Why I already purchased your product I just want to go straight to using the GPS Please make the status screen come up first         Works okay if you don t move nikondude1
It used to work great However since the last update it had been difficult to work with Sometimes crashes while naming a recorded track I m having a lot of difficulty transferring a track from Bad Elf Pro to ipad Locks up often during transfer Works less that 20 of the time Never had a problem before the latest update of the Bad Elf software     Buggy Dst1966
Lost ability to name trips It seems like the trip name is below a title bar but I can t be sure Also landscape mode while in GPS screen no longer works iPhone 4S most recent version of ios 6             Bug Report Natecv
I have only WiFi apple devices which means NO GPS FOR ME until I bought the Bad Elf the bluetooth standalone unit It works great with both my iPad3 and iPod Touch5 both running iOS 7 The LCD and the self contained logging of the Bad Elf were key over buying a Garmin device An idea for the Bad Elf App I would like the ability to select multiple trip logs for deletion Selecting each entry one by one is time consuming and problematic I have noticed that a deleted trip entry remains in the list after deletion which adds confusion as to what truly is on the Bad Elf device and what is just displayed in the Bad Elf App Restarting the App clears the deleted entries from the App s list of trip entries Overall I have had the unit for a few months now and it has worked great with both the supplied App and a few other GPS apps that I use I would recommend it for both on and off the road use                 Works Very Well Bob35960
This app works great with the Bad Elf 2200 When in Canada where I have cellular data off and my iPhone in airplane mode I connect the Bad Elf and am able to use my gps apps perfectly I have been navigating using this for 17 days and 2400 miles with no problems I also like this for hiking where there is no cellular service I have used it with both the iphone 5 and iPad 4 I can t live without it when travelling                     Works Well Czychows
Wife bought me a bad elf 1000 and it works great with garmins app on my iPod Touch 4g Flawless Greatest thing since sliced bread Anyone who gives a bad review just doesn t know how to use it                     Works Great cmuzic1
Bad Elf used to work really well under iOS6 not so well with iOS7 not sure if it was the previous update from Bad Elf but having a very difficult time getting the GPS to connect with the iPad Also unable to install the latest firmware update from Bad Elf Continues to time out     Flakey Cosmo8U
Great Apps                     Excellent momo_puox
This app does what it needs to do It provides GPS stats a way to transfer tracks and POIs to your iOS device share them and of course change settings on your Bad Elf GPS unit I use the Pro So for what it needs to do it does great                 good utility app
Just download the app plug in the gps and there you go I am a pilot and use it while in the plane with Garmin my pilot Never had any issues                 Works as promised
iOS 83 and 84 beta incompatible So we have to wait for iOS 85 Im not buying your new product I rather go buy DUAL GPS Bad Elf has turned into is turning into a bad demon right HORRIBLE for customers loyalty Fix it ASAP     Fix it quick or Im buying DUAL GPS
Even though it has the option to record at 1 Hz up to 10 Hz if you use anything other than one Hz and you record a pointofinterest then the app will not be able to download or even view that trip I have been in touch with the developers and they confirm that this is due to a bug Unfortunately I didnt learn this until after hiking with it for some hours Since that unfortunate episode I have tried using the smart filter option and have been similarly disappointed It seems to filter out too many pointse leaving large gaps in the data I use the bad elf device for recreational mapping but I guess I expect a lot out of my equipment For anyone else I would strongly recommend leaving the device at 1Hz and disable the smart filter On the plus side I can confirm that it works with the Trails Map and Google Earth iPad apps On the whole I love the device but the current version of the app could use a little polishing           Only works under special circumstances
Awesome product To those who turn your phone onto airplane mode your an idiot This is a GPS and when you use google maps all the maps arent downloaded onto your phone so of course it doesnt work Get a free gps program or pay for one but dont degrade this product because of your stupidity I use this product a lot and it works even when I lose cell signal because I have downloaded maps Easy to use the first time and every time Havent gotten to use it on foot just in a vehicle and can say it is effective even at 125mph Great product                 Amazing Heres to clarify
I love a gps solution on my touch and iPad that shows the satellites being received Ive been using GPS for a long time and want to be able to see the current satellite geometry If you have used a standalone gps in the past and miss having info about the reception or want to add GPS ability to a touch or iPad that doesnt have it this is for you                 Real GPS

The GPS is fast to acquire simple reliable and the battery lasts forever This accompanying app works great It allows you to configure the device and transfer track logs back to your computer You cant transfer them without the app the GPS requires use of the app as an intermediary Tech support is extremely responsive they keep adding features and one bug I ran into where the device stopped responding due to overheating in the sun is fixed in the latest update                 Great app for a great GPS
Works great                 No brainer

This app works exactly as its supposed to Ignore the dunderheads who cannot follow the technology It has worked perfectly for me on iPod and iPhone For me the bonus is having a GPS with me in my shirt pocket I have invested in NAVIGON and other GPS apps They all work perfectly in the iPod and better than the builtin antenna on the iPhone I just received one of the PRO models The Bluetooth connection seems unreliable Until this is fixed 2 stars        The latest version has a bunch of utilities that mirrors much larger hardware Good is now better

Pre30 the app used to be a little finicky sometimesbut worked great for exporting tracks managing GPS PRO settings viewing GPS receptions and anything else 30 has been a disaster with GPX or KML export turned on in settings the app drains the battery quicker than anything else Ive ever seen and doesnt stop Its then impossible to turn the setting off if it is on and it defaults to on which means this is how youre introduced to the new app because processing the GPXKML files makes the apps UI completely unresponsive 2 to 5 or more minutes just to respond to a single button press or scroll input and it takes one button press and three screen scrolls to get to the GPXKML export switches in the settings ask me how I know Based on the trip GPXKMLs generated count that they added in 301 its looking like it should finally be done generating files and be responsible again if I just leave the app up and plugged in churning away for a few weeks to a month Not sure why they cant just generate the files for export individually and the pre30 versions were definitely better than this I used to love my GPS PRO but since the 30 update if you need GPX or KML export ie you dont just want to see the pretty lines in app only Id look for something else           Useless for track exports
For starters this thing is a pain in the butt to deal with Their instructions to come up that part very clear and in actual use its very timeconsuming and distracting to make sure that it is even making connection Itll tell you repeatedly that it is not compatible with your iPad and then it will blink forever and never acquire satellites even in plain view of the sky I attempted to use mine for about two weeks and am returning it today     Dont waste your time or

I updated my bad elf app and now it never shows the satellites anymore The old version did Please fix           What happened
wasted my money     It doesnt work with iOS6 with iPhone4
John from their Tech Support answered my support inquiry in a stepbystep very clear and understandable email response So far Im enjoying the Pro very much but best of all the Pro provides me with the peace of mind if I need navigation support when hiking camping or driving and some unforeseen local state event knocks out power to cell phone towers andor power in general and Im away from my home area                 BadElf Pro Support
The updated app is VERY slow and unresponsive I am amazed Touching menu the nothing happens Prior version at least was functional what happened     Slow and unresponsive
I concur Ive tried updating firmware via iPhone running iOS 841 as well as iPad running iOS 81 Neither work the update process just seems to stall indefinitely The download step appears to work but it stalls on the update step If you press cancel after giving it 20 mins of trying it says update complete but still on old firmware version 2048 Because of this it appears NOT to be an AppleiOS issue but one with the bad elf device andor app itself     Update firmware does NOT work
In aviation use the iPad loses lock without using the Bad Elf receiver I use Foreflight in a jet and a highwing Cessna In the jet having the optional extension cable to place the receiver nearer to a window is necessary to avoid the occasional loss of lock during turns This is a small price to pay to avoid having to deal with charging a wireless Bluetooth GPS receiver The extension is not required in a highwing Cessna even when using a kneeboardtype of iPad mount In addition initial satellite lock is very quick The included USB charging cable allows powering of the iPad via a throughport on the Bad Elf receiver with a USB cigarette lighter plug Without power the iPadBad Elf combination easily lasts five to six hours on the iPad battery              Works Great
do not waste your money     bad
Lost ability to name trips It seems like the trip name is below a title bar but I cant be sure Also landscape mode while in GPS screen no longer works iPhone 4S most recent version of ios 6           Bug Report
As others have said ignore the folks that cant read directions Just got one for Xmas and ran six miles with my iPod touch with wireless OFF and it worked fine Only glitch is how to carry it that why I gave it four stars not five              Works great with Runkeeper IOS 5
This app and attached accessory work great I use this with ForeFlight as a flight instructor and have had no problems For all the other people complaining about google maps not working off line need to read the website about what apps work with this                 Works grate
I have reached out to their support team and was instructed to unfair and repair which I tired before contacting them and it did nothing They then told me this could be related to the update A new update to the app and firmware showed up the following day After upgrading device and app still the same problem Now I can not reach the support team This level of support is unacceptable     Unable to delete old trip from before app update
Great Apps                 Excellent
