Hi there,

As most of you know, GPS & Toolbox is an app that helps you understand how the GPS signal quality is. It is available on both platforms (free for android and paid for iphone). Mine actually functions fine as it shows the error in meters (I assume I can fly when it is under 5 meters).

However, it does not show satellites on the screen and does not tell how many satellites are currently locked (please see the screenshot). I thought the problem was with my iPhone 8 plus. Tried an iPhone 6 and it still did not work. Tried 2 android phones and worked very well. Why do you think this could be?

The app on iPhone (the map is empty and shows 0/S satellites):

And here is how it looks on Android and should look like on iPhone:

Thank you. UAV forecast seems to work. Still wondering why this app fails though.
