A GPS enabled journaling app that gives you the ability to preserve memorable outdoor experiences on the go. Enjoy and explore the outdoors freely with GPS PAL. Use videos, photos and notes to set GPS ...
Gives distance time and altitude Works well for me But you only see the data after the workout has been saved Could use a real time screen              Works well
worked like a champ A must have app if you love the outdoorsuse it as a supplemental device or a primaryjust use battery caution                 columbia
Really simple to use                 Excellent app
Definately worth it If you want to track your path to make it back safely this does the job even with poor cell connection I dont use it as my main GPS but it does a good job tracking and perfect for journaling your treks              Great for tracking your trail and journaling your hikes
This app has everything Ive been looking for to track my hikes and bike rides It shows your path on a map total distance average speed current speed elevation up and down and net elevation There are still some bugs with it but it is only in the Beta stage I strongly recommend trying it out                 Great Tracking App
Very nice app Works well every time Useful GPS tracking and sharing I wish that pictures could be shared to my phones Camera Roll                 GPS Pal
Never has a problem with it thanks for a great app              Luv it
The app has done a good job of tracking for me It does not multitask well but thats not something I necessarily expect from this sort of app It has the unfortunate feature of deciding which runs or hikes or whatever are part of the same event and which are not For instance take a hike from camp and stop for lunch Forget to hit resume after lunch until you have walked a hundred yards or so Two different events The next morning leave camp on another hike Start the recorder Its the same event as yesterdays return You can fix such things only on the website which adds more problems The user interface of the website seems almost willfully bad but worse the sync function is unpredictable and often just wrong Sometimes it just does not sync and sometimes the changes you made on the website are overwritten by the older data from the phone           OK but not ready for prime time
I really like this app but it has things that really frustrate me As other reviewers have noted it does not survive all multitask situations gracefully usually crashing upon restart attempt Sometimes it will remember the distance and route already traveled and forget the already elapsed time and sometimes it forgets both As another reviewer pointed out the app decides when to hook two separate tracking events together as if they were one or separate one continuous tracking event that was paused momentarily even without a multitask switch into two separate one in the Journal It would be nice to see more trip details in the Journal entries Overall I still like and use the app even after numerous frustrating experiences Three full stars is about a half star too much A Half Ready rating seems about right Great features great interface mostly but buggy and unstable are the best words I can use           Good but
It would be nice if it would sync my journal between my iPhone and iPad That way I could review maps on a larger screen when I get home           Sync support
It is very good                 Good
Sync with the web site does not work at all        Cute but useless
When it crashes and you dont know when or how it loses all your travel data and sometimes your start time Also the rate calculation is questionable              Helpful but crashes
If you could get this to be Siri compatible all things would be inferior              Nice app
Iphone 5 has been out for a couple years now and this app STILL IS NOT optimized for the bigger screen Come on guys        What
Lots of potential but sync problems drag it down Cannot sync for a year        App NO LONGER WORKS
I enjoyed using the app but it wont connect to my Facebook Facebook I has the app added but the GPS pal keeps saying it isnt No fun if you can share the neat info from your hike     Facebook issues
I have loved this app It has been fun to look back on hikes and other outdoor activities I love looking over the pictures along the way I have had issues syncing and wish there were an option to move photos and videos so I could keep this data or share it elsewhere              Great app But needs some work
works with GPS even when you have no cell service Great journaling feature I do like this app but it is in desperate need of iOS8 support           Best GPS app
This App does what I expect it to do It tracks my riderunwalk on a map I can take a picture along the way and when Im done it lists distance and time Id recommend it                 Really good
Ive been enjoying this app since June 2012 Its great at tracking your exercises and giving great stats around your activity running walking cycling etc              Great and Very Reliable
This could be a great app but has way too many limitations The most frustrating for me is that it groups all my walks into one event This does not work for me because every day we walk a different route but almost all are within 5 miles of our house So unfortunately all the photos are jumbled into one album Of course the first event looked great and I was excited to try it the next day only to find that everything jumbled up as one event Also my help emails either crashed or went unanswered Looking forward to some improvements        An app with lots of potential
Recently this app runs but does not update screen to give current speed distance etc The displays are all zero and if I dont save it closes and I never see anything about my tracking        Not Updating
Still want to verify the milage but I do know one problem When taking a walk through the neighborhood it registers and different total assent and decent when starting and ending at our front door Hmmmm              Ill go with four stars
Thanks for a great ap                 Newbie recumbent triker
Please support metric system              Metric sustem
Great app for tracking distance speed average speed etc only wish we were able to plug in weight height ageBMI type stuff to get an idea of how many calorie are expended per outing              GPS PAL
It looked great worked flawlessly and then I found out that it does not give you any latitude or longitude info I called their support and the rep told me that there is no way to export your waypoints It blew my mind A GPS app that doesnt let you use the data To bad guys you almost had a winner     No LatLong info
No need to repeat others comments but the most frustrating thing is you can view the track but you cant download anything so you can actually use it        Big potential
I love this app for hiking Never get lost Photo your way points and finds                 Great app for hiking
Great app Can keep track of trails and favorite hikes                 GPS Pal
GPS Pal is a wonderful app Love it for keeping up with my treks on the new ride                 Totally Awesome
This app would be good for me but I have a question I cant get answered I took it on a hike last weekend when I finished the hike I tapped the finish button It saved my trip but didnt save any of the stats distance time etc Isnt it supposed to keep this information so you can review your trips I sent an email to the app maker but no response I called the number on the website but they didnt know anything about the app Please help        Doesnt give stats after event
I wish it had audio cues telling you current pace and distance It would stop me having to keep looking down at the app Other than that it works great and I love the design If they had audio cues it would be my favorite GPS app              Audio cues
Has worked perfectly so far save for one thing it will not sync with Facebook Onscreen error messages dont help to troubleshoot Outside of this one glitch which I imagine can be fixed the app is perfect                 Nice App
I genuinely like this app but I may have to try and find another one only because I cant lock it when its running You can lock it using the app but this app doesnt track you correctly if you use the iPhones lock button The battery drains fast and if you get a warning that your battery is low the app completely stops Meh        Good app Needs work
This helps me with my walks and hikes so I can see the statistics                 Great app
stores all your data nice for tracking activity program and charting progress                 Great App
good app              Review
Will not connect to Facebook No response from tech support app developer Would not recommend     Kiwi hiker
Easy to use and provides god basic data including elevation traversed average speed max speed and path taken              Does a nice job
The last version was great I never had any issues One day I noticed the app was gone I think one of my kids deleted it so I downloaded it again Now it crashes whenever I am looking through my journal Hasnt crashed while running yet           Last version great not so for current version
I use it to track my runs so I know how far I have gone that day It also tracks elevation changes which is nice too This fills the gap between what my heart rate monitor can do and what I like to know about my runs distance mostly but it also maps your route and logs it in a journal Easy to use                 Great Product
Cant get this app to share on Facebookemailed multiple times over months with 0 responsethx     No service
I thought this app was pretty cool because it tracked where on the hike you take a photo However I was dismayed to find the photos are not in the iPhones camera roll You can sync to the web site and save the images to iPhoto but they are saved as thumbnails and some of them are extremely tiny I would not recommend using the Take a Photo function if you want to use the photos outside of GPS PAL        Cannot Export Pjotos
Great app and a super tool for health management                 Columbia
There is a lot to like about this app but the interface is terrible 1 If you edit anything on the iPhone it does not show up in the Website download Even worse it wipes out what you added on the iPhone 2 Pictures will be missing Sometimes photos that are taken just dont appear They do appear on your phone under the Photos app but GPSPal seems to lose them 3 The time feature sometimes goes out I did a 5 hour 17 mile hike and according to the app it took me all of 2 minutes 4 The web interface is not very good It only gives you aggregate information and not very useful information at that You cannot get or post information about the distance or time for the specific activity 5 It does not sync with Facebook When you try it says enable GPSPal in Facebook but there is no actual way to do this 6 If you publish to Facebook from the web interface it comes up more as an ad for GPSPal It should provide information about what you are doing not what Columbias app is all about 7 There is something seriously screwy with the web interface All of a sudden it didnt recognise my password yet that password allowed me to log in from my phone These are all easily fixable and rather trivial programming issues It is amazing they are not fixed easily        Sync Issues Problematic
Good for taking speed readings on traxxas slash                 Good app
Just what I was looking for                 Absolutely love it
Since I decided to train for a marathon Ive been using the app Its great keeps track of your time distance and even put it on a map and you can save them to compare with other days                 Great App
