Pros and cons of Basic GPS (Now with UTM, MGRS, and Email) app for iPhone and iPad

Basic GPS (Now with UTM, MGRS, and Email) app good for

Works exactly as shown and documented by the developer. Easy to use and have had no issues. Cant find a single thing to complain about.
Nice bells-n-whistles to this GPS app. The email feature is nice and pulling up the google map is definately a great feature. Very handy tool and extremely useful to send locations to friends.
The simple no clutter interface is great. Getting raw GPS info is great and really works nice with something Im working on out in the field. I really like being able to send the data Ive collected to e-mails as well. The stability (as one user pointed out) is key. Ive had similar apps installed but they were flakey and prone to crashing - this one is solid. BUY THIS APP - it wont disappoint!
Does what it says, the updates have been nice additions. UTM coordinates and the ability to work without cell signal were why I purchased. Works great.
I am a staff sergeant in the army and this rocks with MGRS. 5 stars if maps become imbedded so you dont close app everytime. Perfect for .99!
Is the only paid app Ive bought so far an was worth it. Simple is the key! Great for large jobsite.

Some bad moments

Does not connect to location or show any grids would like my money back or figure out a way to fix it
Basic google map that comes on my iPhone has more functionality. Would do 0 stars if I could. Can I get my $ back?
Sort of lacking Id I cannot use without a wireless connection,
