Pros and cons of Bluetooth GPS Status Tool app for iPhone and iPad

Bluetooth GPS Status Tool app good for

I appreciate the added value this app provides for my XGPS 150, especially the mapping errors being eliminated.
This is exactly what I have been wanting. Have tested it in google earth and it is very accurate 1 meter +/- after a couple minutes. In vehicle there was very little lag in position and was accurate. Tested it also in off line topo-maps and it worked great. Now I just need more detailed and up to date maps for offline. Cant wait for some great hiking trail maps. Good Job !!!
With the new OS 6.1, the dual GPS apps "work" but my Ipod are unable to locate my. On OS5.1 every things work well but as soon as I upgrade to 6.1, I can track GPS Satellite , I know my position on Lat/Long But all those data arent send to my others apps. Its like if the ipod dont reconize the the GPS as e positionning device...

Some bad moments

We purchased two of these for our two corporate jets, hoping to use them on the iPad 3...unless you sync them when the aircraft is sitting on the ground with virtually 0 kt ground speed, the Dual receiver isnt fast enough to figure out youre traveling 400kts and simply doesnt work. The app tells you that the receiver can see multiple satellites, that its "connected" to the iPad but no position information is transmitted. We now use the Bad Elf gps receiver, this works great at any speed.
Just downloaded this app on my iPhone 5 with iOS 7 and it crashes continually. It wont stay open for more than a few seconds at a time. Obviously an update is needed for iOS 7.
Did not connect at all. Its not working and I have a iphone5s on iOS 7.0.6 update needed thx
fix this please , you guys need to be ahead with the updates for upcoming os released , otherwise your product is useless.
IOS 9.3.1. App does not work just stuck with waiting for XGPS150... On the screen App works on my old iPod IOS 6 It needs an update ASAP
Needs an update. The XPGS150A works like a charm, but the Status Tool cannot detect the GPS unit. I contacted support, and they sent me the boilerplate blah-blah-blah about powering things off and on, sliding switches, uninstalling and de-installing,a nd doing it all again. All to no avail. Them, support contacted the app developers, who said it didnt work with IOS 9.3.1. Yeah, we knew that. "Wait a week, well have a new app in the App Store." Its been more than a week. No new app. Yet.
