Latest reviews of Scout - GPS Tracker app for iPhone and iPad
Franchement nul
The recording is imprecise and stopped as I went into a supermarket for shopping - the mobile lost the GPS signals and did not continue when I left the building.
I got this for recording my hikes in the Arizona McDowell Mountains and it worked great! It had the trails well marked and also showed the elevation levels. It timed the hikes as well. The only thing was that I wasnt able to email my stats. Overall though it was really useful!
