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

Simple and effective. It seems that helps phone to aquire faster the GPS fix, for example during a flight, in a plane, if I want to use Google Maps to see the actual position it takes ages to get a fix. If a use GPS Test app it gets it in under a minute and then I can use Google Maps too

This is a great app for displaying speed and altitude, checking the GPS, and seeing what it's doing when the GPS is struggling for a fix. The only thing I need that it doesn't have is damping the speed, course and altitude display. It would be great if the user could set a time period over which the readings are averaged. When I'm on a ship or plane, the numbers jump around, but I know the course and speed isn't changing that often.

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!
