Common User Mistakes: This application uses satellite based GPS, so don\'t expect the app to work well under a roof. For best results, TURN ON GPS from your Phone and go outside away from any tall buildings where there is a good view of much of the sky.

Ratings and reviews

2 stars for the concept, but lacking 3 stars for the fact that this widget isn't working for many people, including myself. I'm personally running Android 11, and have granted necessary Location permissions, as well as telling the android system NOT to optimize for battery usage. Widget fails to populate any information. Unfortunate, because I was wanting to use this widget as an overlay for some of my navigation apps. Developer, please troubleshoot and fix.

It is working for me on an old phone but the font is way too small to read and no option to increase the font size. I have the font size up to almost the largest in the system settings and in bold but this app doesn't seem to tie into it.

Simply does not work. Does not display any coordinates. Android 10. Of course, allowed access location. No other settings required. Widget could be added to home screen, but does not show ant coordinates.
