About this app

With this app, you can check the GPS reception in your area and update AGPS data for faster fix times, whilst being able to view other GPS and sensor data. The app acts as a one-stop place for viewing: your altitude, accurate UTC plus local time, your compass heading, the moon phase and daylight hours. It supports GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO, SBAS, BEIDOU and QZSS satellites. The app has various different colour schemes which can be changed according to your tastes, including a night mode. The colour schemes can also be used to match other instrumentation alongside the app.

GPS Test has six different screens:

•GPS signal (SNR) bar chart, showing the signal strength for each satellite, as well as the accuracy and status of the GNSS network

•Satellite positions in the sky (sky view) shown on a rotating compass

•Your current location on the earth shown as text and on a world map. The current position of the sun and the day/night transition curve is also shown

•Compass

•Your current speed, heading and altitude are shown as text

•The current time read from the GPS and the local time in your current time zone, as well as the sunrise and sunset times at your location

Ratings and reviews

Works very well. Is clear and easy to use. Very intuitive. Includes compass, altitude, sunset and sunrise, moon phase, satellite information, speedometer and probably more that I've missed. It has settings like heads-up (mirrored) and can change the altitude to above "sea level" or GPS (be careful as that's the default).

This used to be my goto app for any GPS issues. Now it gets stuck in an ad-cycle. Can't use it anymore. Only shows ads. What a total disaster! It gets stuck on the altitude screen, if try to go to the main screen it shows an ad, and after the ad finishes, the application terminates. If i open it again, i get to the altitude screen and ad again. No escape!

One big issue: on my Pixel phones (6 Pro and 10 ProXL) The app does not respect the Android information bars at the top and bottom of the screen. The app places its own menu options underneath those notifications, and they are inaccessible to touch. I can get to some of them by rotating the phone different directions. awkward. also, I don't see a way to export a fairly extensive list of waypoints that I have entered. I've upgraded phones and don't look forward to entering them all manually.
