MotionX GPS App Reviews

The best for off road / outdoor

Ive been using motion-x for several years after a guide suggested it to me. Absolutely indispensable for four wheeling and hiking. I find the user interface is just fine once you are comfortable with it and would not want them to dilute it down as many other apps have done. I also use it just for fun to keep track of verticals and just to see where all Ive been during the day while skiing, and to keep track of mileage when jogging or walking the dog. Only weakness has been for boating - nautical maps seem to lack detail. Being able to save my tracks with different color codes and to download tracks from others has been a lifesaver when 4-wheeling out in the desert and mountains of Arizona. Without pre- recorded tracks, it is often nearly impossible to find some of the trails, and your own recorded track sure makes it easier to connect to your route home. Saves a lot of time and is a significant safety factor.

Excellent functionality

I do use this app everyday for my workout routine. I am very pleased with the many practical features. I have also used other sport devices however this app has everything I need to keep track of my jogging and cycling workouts.

5 stars

Easy to use. Best I have seen.

Watch App Doesnt Work

The Apple Watch app doesnt work. It doesnt find your location using the Apple Series 2 GPS and it even fails to sync your location with your phone, which it shouldnt have to do. It also does not act as a remote to start a function or even mirror your phone if you had to control it from there. Big fail. Ill wait for the fix to change my rating.

No Apple Watch interface

Theyve known of the issue of the Apple Watch app not working since at least December 2015. Im not holding my breath for an update. Interface is crap. But for the price its still a recommended purchase. Its just an extremely useful app. But sadly its probably getting worse.

Great

Absolutely great app

Very useful GPS app, needs update.

Can we get an update please? Maps sluggish on iPhone 7 plus. Any chance of google letting us download maps again?

Latest update has worse maps

Zoomed in terrain used to be great. Topos had light colors, easy to read, with good contrast of trails and symbols. But recent updates are now shaded dark instead. Much harder to read. Horrible downgrade and very disappointed. I wish I could un-update all my downloaded maps. Functionality is still a 5 tho.

Flexible and easy to use

Terrific app for all sorts of activities. I use for hiking, biking and kayaking. Easy to use. You can take geotagged pictures at waypoints. Just super.

Great app for tracking my walks

One of the first apps I bought when I got my first iPhone.

Bmyers

Ive had this App for several years now. I us it for my biking and hiking. For the money its hands down the best GPS App on the market. Always accurate always dependable

Great

Thanks

MotionX-GPS Review

Great app, easy to use when bike riding. I recommend you include the time of day on the display window along with the distance, speed and time when recording a track.

current version on iOS 10 doesnt work with watch 3

I like the app and love the watch extension. But currently the apple watch extension doesnt work. I have last years watch on watch os 3 and my iPhone 6 is on iOS 10. Please fix!!!

MotionX-GPS

This is a great app. Keeps up with mph,distance , speed,time ; all of it. Love it.

Works for me!

I agree with some of the other reviews that the app could be designed a bit better. Seems like its trying to be all things for all people, maybe? I also really dislike the fact that this app tracks me even when Im not using it. Thats creepy! So I have to navigate to my settings and switch it to, "never", while Im not hiking. Why not allow the choice to only allow tracking when Im using the app?! Thats why, even though I really like Motion GPX, I can only give it 3 stars...

Most useful gps app Ive found

Dont even question whether or not to get this app. Do it already. Basically, it has everything you need or will need.

Yea Baby

Love it. Complete with NOAA charts. Best buy going. Use it kayaking. Never had to rely for complete navigation. Cant see why it would not work. Update: reloaded it 5 times. Opens then closes. No response from company. Money down the drain.

Function over Form

The UI is a bit clunky (and dare I say "ugly") by iOS design standards but despite its aesthetic shortcomings, this remains my go-to offline GPS navigation app for all outdoor adventures--specifically cross-country wilderness hiking. While users may need to familiarize themselves with the apps features and functions beforehand, it has now become an integral part of my trip-planning ritual. I never leave home without first downloading an area map of the hike, which has saved me in more than a few instances from wandering off-trail (I also like to obsessively check my progress). Not all trails are marked, however, and the ability to upload and store custom gpx tracks and waypoints has allowed me to explore a greater range of rugged terrain without fear of disorientation. The apps built-in track recorder tends to drain battery on my iPhone 6 so I typically use it in conjunction with another app (MapMyHike) for tracking fitness data. If you love exploring the outdoors, then you need this app to be safe!

Excellent

Does everything it says, and works well.
