Found friend’s iPhone while on trail with no cell service – GPS on ski map by Maprika Review

I don’t write reviews, but this little free app deserves a five star review from me today. So I’m taking the time to write one. We were on a 16 miles horse trail in the woods with no cell service yet Maprika continued to work. Suddenly, at around the 11th mile, my friend realized she had dropped her iPhone somewhere earlier on the trail. Find my friends and all of those iPhone apps that require a cellular signal would not work to find her phone. We had no cell service on the trail and we thought it was lost. However, I glanced down at my phone screen where we had been using Maprika, and there was my friend’s iPhone located 6 miles away! Maprika allows for people to invite other Maprika users to see each other. She and I had turned on our Maprika apps together at the beginning of the ride. If you’re on the same map, you can see where you are at. There was my friend’s iPhone clear as day! We rode back down the trail and sure enough, Maprika took us within 1 foot of the iPhone laying in the leaves and dirt of the trail in perfect condition. So this is invaluable. No need for cell service which we didn’t have. Maprika apparently works on satellite ability when doing the GPS thing. THANK YOU! This simple app may not have all the spit and shine of some of the others, but the fact you don’t need cell service for it to work is worth having it along side of more polished trail app. I won’t ride without Maprika being on. Also my husband can see me from his Maprika app which he enjoys while working at the office.
