S Miller

This app is absolutely top shelf! The more we use it the more we like it. Great app from a great guy. The developer is incredibly responsive. Thank you for putting this out!

Top notch app

Versatile, extremely accurate, and the customer service is amazing. TACNAV is an awesome app. IMO, its the best military / tactical app on the market. Bottom line, if youre in the military, especially the Army, you need this app. 5-stars!

🙂🙂🙂🙂

Still shocked that not a lot of land nav guys know about this

Unmatched Precision and Reliability: Officer Approved!

Tactical NAV is hands down the best navigation app for military operations. Its precision and reliability are unmatched, especially with the MGRS focus. I've used it in both training and real-world scenarios, and it has never let me down. The ability to operate offline is a game-changer, and the app's ease of use makes it a must-have for any service member. Highly recommend it for anyone needing a robust and accurate navigation solution!

Best ATAK app

I really like this app for ATAK use. I like you can draw graphics on the app and can share them to a buddy so you are using this app for ATAK you can use it with your buddy or a team. The only thing I think it needs improvement is that a terrain map should be added to the app to see the terrain better. I find that a satellite map doesn’t show the terrain detail I would get from a terrain or Topo map.

NEEDS WORK

Was hoping this platform would perform a little more like MilGPS. One thing that I can’t stand is that every time I go back to the application it puts me in the middle of an ocean. Needs a navigate to Create a waypoint Auto start in X location Something.

Possible new feature

This app has been a life saver for my site recon. I would love to see, if possible, a feature where you can add photos from the device gallery. I am giving 5 stars because is a well thought and developed app.

Great features and usability

Really enjoying this app. It has three things I really wish MilGPS had: tighter MGRS grids when you zoom in (MilGPS stops at 100m grid squares, TACNAV goes to 10m), free drawing on maps, and accurate military markers! Sure, MilGPS has icons you can customize, but none of them are standard NATO markers! So you have to remember your own reasons for certain markers existing, instead of being able to rely on what already exists and is standardized. This app seems to have all the features available

Best Military Navigation App!

Hi Jon, I’m updating my review to let you know I read your response on the latest update. Just want to say that I’m thinking of you with what you’re going through. Tactical NAV / TACNAV-X is well worth the money. Keep your head up. You’ve made the best military navigation app available. Thanks for all you continue to do. Take care man. Will

Best app + customer support

I wanted to share my thoughts about this app because I was impressed when Jonathan (Captain Springer) took the time to respond to my email about a couple new features he's working on. This app is excellent. I've verified its accuracy, which rivals the DAGR and Falcon View, and it’s accurate to less than a meter. My mortar guys have used TacNav-X to plan and verify targets during live fire training. All on target. Pretty BA. I completely recommend this app to anyone in the military. And for in

Superb 👍🏼

TACNAV-X is excellent. The developer (Jon) even responded to my email from the hospital. Unbelievable. I’m super impressed!

Great app!!

Best military navigation app on the iPhone. Period. I use it everyday. Awesome developer support as well. Jonathan is super helpful and is always there to help me if I ever have questions. 5-stars all the way!

True Force Multiplier!

Jon, I have been using this app for nearly a decade and I can't express how useful it's been. Thank you for making Tactical NAV and continuing to push out great updates. I have used this app as one of my trusted tools while controlling aircraft and employing CAS while in training environments all over the US when I was a SOF Fire Support Officer. And also in higher echelons. Even outside of training, it helps with my planning efforts, determining suitable mission command nodes and even assist

Good but

Good just hate when im in the field trying to nav and suddenly theres an forced update and I can’t use the app and don’t have service in the field to update.

Tactical NAV Rocks

Phenomenal nav app. I absolutely love TacNav and would highly recommend it to anyone in the military. Great work!

Freaking Solid

Very solid app. Recommend big time. Excellent features and customer support, too. 5 stars.

Superb app 👍🏼

Tactical NAV is excellent. Love it!

TACNAV review

I recently downloaded this app and instantly realized how much of a game changer this technology is! Whether you are in a combat zone or in a training environment-this app has you covered. It is easy to navigate with all the features you need to ensure you get the necessary support and put ‘bombs on target’! I especially like that the creator of this app has first hand knowledge of the battlefield and what the war fighter needs to be successful in their mission. The support you receive is ou

Excellent

Tactical NAV is excellent. Can’t recommend this app enough.

Great until..

Absolutely love this app, the offline mode (that you have to pay additional for, but worth it) is great, and the ability to do routes and plot points etc. My gripe is that I was inputting points when the app crashed on me, didn’t think anything of it, but when I re-opened the app, weeks worth of work literally disappeared. Pretty critical information, so I’m a little frustrated at this app at the moment

Precision Perfection: Tactical NAV Takes the Lead!

This tactical navigation app is the best on the market. I was able to accurately shoot 155 rounds with RAP directly on target using this app, while using a government device to confirm the coordinates! I am blown away! Steel on steel!!! I also confirmed that Tactical NAV is accurate to about less than a meter… really around 1 mm accuracy when I confirmed the grid using Falcon View and the had the grid coordinates mensurated, which is insane for a commercial app! Simply put… this is an amazin

Where has this app been all my life?

TacNAV was recommended to me by my PSG and LT. This app really does it all. Excellent stuff!

Highly Impressed

I’m thoroughly impressed with Tactical NAV! It’s a must-have for precise navigation. The user interface is intuitive, and the feature set is top-notch. What truly sets it apart is its remarkable accuracy; it’s my top choice for navigation apps. Overall, it’s a fantastic app, and I highly recommend it. AATW!

Recommended!

I used to use MilGPS, but Tactical NAV is now my go to app for mission planning, targeting, and SA. It’s very easy to use. I build my overlays for my platoon leadership, share them with my guys, and the fact I can also share everything with my soldiers who are on Android is excellent. It’s seemless and secure. CPT Springer really made one heck of an app, and he’ll always have my support. TacNav is very much recommended.

Best of the best

This app is the best of the best, and I’ll always support a fellow artilleryman. Tactical NAV is easily five stars. Very well done, sir!

Superb app 👍

Blown away with how easy to use this app is, and the features it includes are fantastic. Customer service is also great as well. BLUF: Awesome app all around, and Tactical NAV is very much recommended.

TACNAV is fantastic

Best navigation app for military, hands down. Just waiting for iPad and Apple Watch support. Love the updates as well!

Waiting for iPad support

Great app, just needs iPad support.

Best MGRS app!

This is the best MGRS app available. Well worth the money, and it continues to improve with each and every update.

Great navigation app

Phenomenal navigation app. Tactical NAV is probably the best out there for military users.

Tactical NAV awesome app

I use Tactical NAV at work on a daily basis for training and navigating to a location by use MGRS grids. This app works flawlessly. Worth every dollar spent on the app. Makes my job easier and I don’t have to depend on a normal gps.

Great app 👍🏼

Works great but with the update please make overlays shareable between devices. Put a bunch of work into an overlay and you can’t share it

Customer support A+

Had an issue in regards to using the offline features on multiple devices. I contacted Jon and within an hour he informed me he was working an update so that the app and its content stays with your Apple ID but currently not there yet. That’s the bad news. Good news is that he reimbursed me for purchasing it on multiple devices. True team player and excited for more improvements to an already great app! Kevin

Awesome update

Jonathan, I love the updates you’ve released over the past couple of months. The landscape option is beautifully designed and very easy to use. Keep up the great work!

Best tactical app!

This app gets the job done. Unbelievable accuracy and functionality, and the app just works. Best tactical app available. 🤙🏻

Worth every penny

Excellent app. Would like to see some kind of measurement tool included in the future so I can get a distance and direction between two points, but overall, Tactical NAV is superb.

Remarkable app

Fantastic update to an already remarkable GPS/tactical app. Landscape mode works beautifully and I will submit any issues I find with the latest version to help your dev team. Keep up the great work man.

Very solid app.

Awesome tactical application that is very easy to use. No joke, Tactical NAV is a must have app for military personnel. 🇺🇸

Solid.

Im really skeptical of reviews on the App Store, but this app is extremely solid. Other reviewers who left Tactical NAV a 5 star review are pretty spot on… this is a solid tac~app all around.

BEST TACTICAL APP

Great update Jonathan. I have to say that Tactical NAV has become the king of tactical apps. Tactical NAV is hands down the best tactical military app available today. I really cant recommend it enough!!!

Solid app.

App is solid but please make it orient with phone orientation.

Great app

Used this during Operation Lethal Eagle. Easy to use app that delivers. Solid!

🇺🇸 Awesome 🇺🇸

Probably the coolest developer I’ve ever communicated with. Very down to earth and insanely helpful. The past few updates have been amazing, and TACNAV just keeps getting better and better. Thank you for listening to my feedback, Sir!!!

Missing A Lot Of Symbols

Missing almost all the sustainment symbols. Would be awesome to use but kinda an oversight.

Subscription not working

I paid $7.99 for the 1 month subscription to test it out for offline use during hunting season and I got a big fat goose egg, NOTHING. Pretty let down by that cause I could have really put this app to use.
