Not very user friendly. Doesn't allow you to delete things easily. Created an entire overlay and wanted to delete one drawing. Had it selected but kept saying I must select at least one event. Deselected and it deleted my entire overlay. Creator is over thinking it too. All these military symbols but not a standard CP symbol. No one is creating a BN overlay on this thing. Do the simple things right before trying to create a complex nav app. Edited

Hey Jimmy, thanks for the one-star review and your thoughtful critique. Sorry I haven't figured out how to build a complex app yet—even though TACNAV-X has been successfully supporting military users globally for over 15 years. If you'd like to reach out directly at
[email protected], I'll be more than happy to issue you a refund. Thanks again! - Jon

Out-freaking-standing app sir! Using at AT and while I've only had it for a little bit the functionality and ease of use are top notch. Looking forward to really digging into it and seeing all that I can do with it. Glad to also support someone looking out for the guys on the ground while also giving back to the community.

I use Tactical Nav for general recreational hiking, and prefer this app because of its UTM grid support. It's responsive and, combined with my bluetooth receiver, very accurate. My main gripes are: When I use the degrees option with the map measurement tool to project a waypoint, I have to stop and do mental math (if going westerly) to subtract from 360. Would like the degrees to directly follow a compass rose. Second, it would be nice if other maps could be used (open maps, mapforge). Thanks!

Hi Art, I’m updating my response to thank you for identifying the bug with the measurement tool displaying degrees westerly, likely introduced with the landscape mode update. I’m fixing it right now. Your feedback is invaluable to me and my dev team, and I appreciate your patience and support. Take care, and I hope you have a great weekend! - Jon

Bought this app (the old version) a few years back. When i went to Fort Irwin, i was planning to use it to navigate around the box; this was basically impossible. HOWEVER, the new and improved app (this version) is one of the best i have ever seen or used! Many updates, new features, and a revamped UI. Additionally, the developer is extremely responsive and customer oriented. Definitely recommend this app!

Captain Springer is awesome and incredibly helpful when I had questions about Tactical NAV. He's created the best tactical app outside of ATAK, and that's really saying something. Looking forward to future updates, and happy to support someone who gives back to our disabled veterans. Also I wanted to add that that the drawing abilities and offline maps are a game changer for me. I can build all my overlays without a cellular connection, which is outstanding. Great app. Edited

Hi Raider, I appreciate the updated review! Your support means a lot to me, and I'm honored to have your backing. Just so you know, I'm continuously working on updates to make TACNAV even better for you and all our users. And thanks for joining me in supporting our disabled veterans—it's a cause that is close to my heart. Take care, brother! - Jon
