Ratings and reviews

I researched and tried many, many different troubleshooting options, and also a few apps that claimed to repair GPS issues. I spent well over an hour and got nowhere. I was about to factory reset, but decided to try and find just one more app... I'm so happy I did! It ran for about 5 minutes, and completely fixed my malfunctioning GPS! I can finally use Google Maps for navigation again without constantly losing GPS signal! I highly recommend GPS Fix as one of your troubleshooting options!!

Either it was malfunctioning, it had no instructions, or I just couldn't figure it out. I clicked on the start fixing button several times over and over again and I couldn't see anything happening except that my phone buzzed. And the screen was all messy, too. In the background was a map that was barely legible and on top of that were the buttons to push and some writing that was just not clear. Weird. My phone's not been giving me any problems except GPS mistakes and location calibration issues

What's the point? This app is just getting GPS location, not able to do this in background (Android 12, permissions granted). It even doesn't find Google Maps, though sharing the position works there. // If you need kicking GPS to prevent its idle state, you can use a tracker (Caynax, etc) which does this in background, and can record your path indeed.
