JAS Location Tracker App Reviews

We tested the JAS Location Tracker last weekend at the Maker Faire in San Mateo. It performed beautifully. I was using a Sony Alpha 6000 which does not have a GPS. I used Graphic Converter to add the JAS Location data to the photos taken on the Sony Alpha 6000. Every photo got location information. Excellent. In addition to the location data, we got the total miles walked and a great map that showed everywhere we went. I especially liked the Apple Watch connection. This is an outstanding app for the price.

I was looking for a free GPS app that I could use when I check out hikes for a dog group Im in. There are many apps that can do this, of course. However, when I actually tested them, I discovered that most would eat up your battery in short order. Some would not work unless the app were on and in the foreground all of the time. Also, some would not let you export the track you created. Some would not let you use the app unless you signed up using Facebook or an email. JAS tracker has none of these negatives. Its fairly easy to use as well. (Unlike Viewranger...which is great but way too complicated.) You can export right to Google Earth or as a GPX file. I hiked for an hour and a half and it only used 8% of my IPhone 5s battery. Its got nice free maps with it that I believe you can use offline as well. I dont know why this app isnt more popular.

Interesting user interface. App uses some combination of cell towers and gps for location. An iPod has no mobile radio. GPS only tracks are very erratic.

Just what I was looking for to track my travels all day on one charge!

Ive been looking for an app to track my driving routes and I must say, this is by far the most amazing app ever. After another app that clears "fog" away from a map stopped developing and responding to customers, I found JAS and could not be happier. This team is genius! Such a great app for tracking routes and getting all the fun info you never expected. This is definitely one of my most used apps
