5/5Tac Nav is a keeper…
Man, Ive used Tactical Nav for years serving in the military. Ive utilized this app on deployments to Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, and its been used at home during training. Tac Nav is always an app i can depend on, it’s dead accurate, and the features that have been added to it over the years have been awesome. Like other reviewers have said, Tactical Nav can use a horizontal option, but Ive emailed the devs about it and they responded back to me the same day and told me that they’re working on it. So thanks for the great customer service guys, and for the support and work you put into the app. Offline maps is a game changer, IMO. Its been the biggest feature that me and my guys use when we operate in areas where there’s no signal. It also helps with OPSEC because we can completely use the app while it’s in Airplane mode. To the developers: Please keep up the great work with Tactical Nav and continue pushing ahead with the updates. This app has really been a life saver for me and my guys when we’ve needed it. Highly recommended. Always forward!

5/5City use / Hiking uses
This app isn’t just deployable to war zones! I am a prior Army Sergeant who loves to go out into the wild and I don’t always grab my Garmin but I always have my phone! With this app I can feel at ease knowing I have the technology to find my way out of the thick of it if I get turned around! The map is as easy to view as those such as google and maps by Apple. If you are in city limits there is even store names and very detailed mapping of the area streets and side alleys! On the military side of this, the owner takes the lives of Soldiers very serious and created this to ensure those lobbing rounds down range had the best tool available to ensure call for fire was as accurate as possible to ensure the lives lost were the intended targets and to ensure those who called it in got the protection they needed! He didn’t create this app just for a dollar sign, he would put the lives saved and protected by the accuracy of his app over any amount of money, that’s the kind of guy who is putting his life into this! “What is the sound of artillery”

5/5A must buy app.
BLUF: A beautifully designed military app that is very easy to use. Simply put, a must buy for soldiers and service members. For reference, my unit is currently en route to Eastern Europe, and the majority of us have downloaded Tactical NAV. I'm a platoon leader and genuinely find this app beneficial in day-to-day use for what I need in a military focused app. Also, after using it during a recent FTX before leaving CONUS, where we were using live rounds, mortars, and artillery fire during training, that is when I was sold on TACNAV. In my opinion, there is no other app on the App Store that compares to Tactical NAV because this app pretty much does it all, minus the troop tracking stuff, which I'm looking forward to when it comes out. I'm writing a detailed review because Jon took the time to personally respond to my email and answered all my questions in great detail, and I really appreciated that. He was a great help and I can tell he really cares about his product and his customers. Tactical NAV is a 5-star app all the way. AATW!

5/5Great app for diverse utilization!
This app is such a user-friendly platform where the everyday civilian and soldier can easily access and utilize accordingly. As a civilian traveling across various rural areas and cities in the US, this app has never failed me. I have navigated the busy streets of NYC and LA with this app, and then found my way around the less populated Midwest rural areas of Iowa and Ohio. As a fires intelligence officer, there is no better innovation that is easily and readily available that I would trust more. The offline capabilities is truly a lifesaver where the dictating battle environment may present those complex scenarios. This app provided our artillery batteries and the chain of command the necessary information to send rounds down range in a timely and accurate manner that saved lives! Today’s technological capabilities provides such innovative opportunities for commanders and our most senior leadership....this app answers those calls to be a cost effective and reliable resource!

5/5Great app exceptional customer service!!
I am a police officer and avid outdoorsman and I have used this app for both. I have use this app for both training and live police operations. Everything from surveillance to warrant execution and it offers comprehensive mapping and target location features. I have use this on camping hiking and canoeing trips and it allows you to mark beginning, middle and end points that are easy to read and easy to share with others in your group. When I had a problem with minor bugs in the operation of the app I emailed Johnathan singer and he replied within minutes. He fully explained the behind the scenes technical work he is currently doing to fix the bugs and assured me that future updates would fix any of these issues. Customer service is absolutely outstanding. I would absolutely recommend this app to anybody with any police, military or outdoors needs!

5.0.10
• Updated for iOS 26 • Made drawing mode free • Multiple app refinements • Coding for future updates **A Personal Message from Jonathan** What’s up, guys — I hope you're all doing well. This is Jon, creator of Tactical NAV (TACNAV‑X). As many of you know, I built this app downrange as a Captain in the Pech and Korengal Valleys of Afghanistan, and I’ve carried that mission with me ever since. TACNAV‑X was born out of my commitment to honor the brothers we lost in 2010 and 2011. For me, this will always be more than software — it’s a living tribute to their memory. They deserve nothing less. I also want to be real with you. Over the past few months, I’ve been undergoing treatment for my TBI. It hasn’t been easy, but continuing to serve through this app is what keeps me going. I know that might sound a little cheesy, but I mean it. That’s why I’ve made drawing mode free in this latest update. It was previously an in‑app purchase, but I don’t want there to be any barrier when you need it most, or make you feel like I’m taking advantage of you. Offline mapping mode is still available as a one-time purchase or subscription. And I assure you, this isn’t about making money. It’s simply what’s required to pay my developers, support updates, and keep the app alive. Bottom line, your feedback shapes everything I do, and there’s a lot more to come. If you have ideas, requests, or just want to connect, please email me anytime at [email protected]. Thanks again for your continued support — and for believing in the app. Take care, guys! – Jon
